During the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552#August|August 2552]], ''Anchor 9'' was defended by Sabres during [[Operation: UPPER CUT]]. The station's defenses were off-line when the Covenant attacked, and one squadron was deployed to repel the incoming waves of [[Elsedda-pattern Banshee|Banshees]] and later [[Type-31 Seraph|Seraphs]]. When the third wave of Covenant fighters arrived, ''Anchor 9''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> point defense guns came back online. During the third wave, several [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]] arrived and attempted to attack the station, but were destroyed. After the Phantoms were destroyed, the remaining Seraphs and Banshees retreated.{{Ref/Reuse|lnos}} | During the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552#August|August 2552]], ''Anchor 9'' was defended by Sabres during [[Operation: UPPER CUT]].

[[SPARTAN-B312]] and [[Jorge-052]] then docked in one of the station's hangars. Jorge left the Sabre to arm a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drive]] attached to a Pelican dropship; this Slipspace drive would be used as an improvised bomb against ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'', a [[Covenant supercarrier]]. The {{UNSCShip|Savannah}} soon detached from ''Anchor 9'' to provide cover for the Sabres as they attacked and attempted to board an [[Ardent Prayer|enemy corvette]] which was inbound to refuel with the supercarrier. Almost immediately after the supercarrier was destroyed, the Covenant arrived en masse over Reach.{{Ref/Reuse|lnos}} The station was subsequently destroyed by a Covenant support fleet, which arrived several days later.{{Ref/Reuse|vis}} | [[SPARTAN-B312]] and [[Jorge-052]] then docked in one of the station's hangars.
