The Second Battle of Reach was a small operation conducted by the [[UNSC]] survivors of the [[Battle of Installation 04]]. | |||
==Background== | |||
===The [[Installation 04]] Survivors=== | |||
Having captured the [[Covenant]] [[Flagship]] [[Ascendant Justice]], they were in a position where they could not return to Human controlled space due to Article 7 of the [[Cole Protocol]]. The Article required that a captured Covenant vessel be thoroughly searched for any tracking devices that would alert the Covenant to a new Human controlled system before that vessel could enter a System that the Covenant weren't aware of. | |||
The decision was made to set course for [[Reach]] for several reasons: | |||
# Reach was a known system to the Covenant, so it would not be in violation of the Cole Protocol | |||
# There may be a functional warship after the [[Battle of Reach]] that they might be able to use to get to UNSC controlled space | |||
# There was a chance of survivors being found | |||
===Admiral Whitcomb=== | |||
During the Battle of Reach, 3 Spartans (names) joined up with [[Vice Admiral]] [[Whitcomb]]. After planting a [[NOVA bomb]] inside the Covenant ranks, they spent the next several weeks performing Guerrilla Attacks upon occupational Covenant forces on Reach. However, they were stranded on the planet. | |||
===Dr Halsey=== | |||
Underneath the ruins of [[CASTLE base]], Dr. Halsey and 5 Spartans (Fred, Kelly, Will, Vinh, Issac) had spent 5 days combing the remains of a [[Forerunner]] base and an additional 5 days trapped in a hallway inside the ruins by Covenant forces. Vinh and Issac had both fallen by the time the Second Battle of Reach had begun. | |||
