During the Fall of Reach, three [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartans]], [[John-117]], [[Linda-058]], and [[Spartan-James|James]] took a [[D77-TC Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] to Reach Station Gamma. An [[ONI]] [[UNSC Prowler|Prowler]], the ''[[Circumference]]'', docked in the station having failed to delete its NAV database. [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] intrusion software had detected the unsecured database and three [[Covenant frigate]]s were sent to secure the data. Those frigates were destroyed by [[MAC]] rounds from the planet's [[Orbital Defense Platform|orbital guns]], as well as firepower from the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, but not before they dispatched [[Ranger Elite|Elite]] and [[Jackal Ranger|Jackal]] rangers to secure the data.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''' | During the Fall of Reach, three [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartans]], [[John-117]], [[Linda-058]], and [[Spartan-James|James]] took a [[D77-TC Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] to Reach Station Gamma.
