Highland Mountains
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Highland Mountains are alpine mountains located in the Viery Territory of the human colony, and UNSC fortress world Reach.[1] Located on Reach's northernmost continent[2] Eposz,[3] the mountains were made of granite[4] and were home to many facilities used by the UNSC.
History
Human-Covenant war
- Main article: Human-Covenant war
After the Fall of Reach on August 30, 2552, these mountains were the only area not glassed by the Covenant, though glassing did occur in the area on a small scale.[5] The Covenant concentrated their forces in the region and set up an extensive excavation operation around Menachite Mountain in order to uncover a massive subterranean Forerunner structure.[6]
A flag was recovered from the mountains and put on display at Outpost Discovery.[7]
