Moments before the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552]], Gamma Station received a transmission from [[Remote Scanning Outpost]] [[Fermion]] reporting an unconfirmed in-system [[Slipstream Space|Slipspace]] rupture - the arrival of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] fleet.
Moments before the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552]], Gamma Station received a transmission from [[Remote Scanning Outpost]] [[Fermion]] reporting an unconfirmed in-system [[Slipstream Space|Slipspace]] rupture - the arrival of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] fleet.


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]]''' ''page 308''</ref> Eventually, [[John-117]] was able to destroy the database but both [[Linda-058]] and [[James]] were casualties. Several [[marine]]s were on-board the station: [[Sergeant]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]], [[Private]]s [[Wallace A. Jenkins|Jenkins]], [[Bisenti]], and [[O'Brien]]. They were evacuated along with the Spartans.

After the [[UNSC]] retreated from Reach, Covenant ships destroyed the station along with everything else in sight, when they [[Glassing|glassed]] the planet.
