Asźod

Landscape at Aszod during the Fall of Reach.

Aszod was a location on the planet Reach at Eposz, most likely a city or state. The region was home to several industrial facilities, including a ship-breaking facility, where the UNSC Pillar of Autumn was dry-docked on August 30, 2552 during the Fall of Reach. During the final stages of the battle, Aszod was the only off-planet extraction point left on the continent. It was the site of the Battle of Aszod, where Emile-A239 died and Noble Six made their last stand after delivering a fragment of Cortana to the Pillar of Autumn. The Spartan stayed behind to defend the Autumn from a massive Covenant air assault, and was killed in action at the site, having been overwhelmed by Covenant infantry.
