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 [[Type-27 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter|Banshees]] and later [[Type-31 Seraph|Seraphs]].
