Farragut Station

Farragut Station.

Farragut Station, also known as Farragut Outpost, was a small communications outpost near Sword Base on the Babd Catha Ice Shelf on Reach. Located in a small valley, the outpost was composed of three deteriorating, primarily wooden structures arranged in a circular shape.

History

Prior to May 2551, an incident which Laszlo Sorvad considered "intolerable" occurred on Farragut station, resulting in the professor's relocation.

During the Fall of Reach on July 26, 2552, the Covenant had cut off communications from Sword Base. Kat-B320 and SPARTAN-B312 were ordered to reactivate the COM array at Farragut Station to contact UNSC Command. A small Covenant force containing a Revenant was occupying the base at that time.

Between August 14th and August 29th, Covenant forces occupying Sword Base built a defensive position at Farragut Station. This position contained multiple Shade Turrets, a Deployable lookout tower and a pair of Ghosts. It was manned by a group of Grunts led by a single Sniper Jackal.On August 29th, SPARTAN-B312 and a team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers once again passed through Farragut Station whilst on a mission to destroy the nearby Sword Base. However, by this time the station had been flooded due to icemelt from Covenant activity, leaving only the rooftops above water. The team destroyed the Covenant defensive position before moving on toward the objective.
