- Define Battle
- Assuming it's not a battle, give a better name for it. Certainly, it is an event (and a relatively important one at that) and it should probably be recorded AND it is best represented by the Battle template.

It was more of a rescue of the survivors of the battle of reach.--UNSCOH COL. "Running Riot" Ryan BAM 22:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC) 22:02, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- Two sides squared off, fired a bunch of guns at one another, thousands died (including half a dozen Covenant warships), I'd call it a battle. --Forgottenlord 22:06, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
I still dont think it was, the unsc had one ship used it to get the survivors of the planet then was stuck in slipspace for awhile, so it wasnt really the 2nd battle of reach, in th book every called it the battl in slipspace or something like that. They didnt really fight around reach.--UNSCOH COL. "Running Riot" Ryan BAM 22:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC) 22:10, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
They got more kills before they entered slipspace than they did in the bubble.... Seriously, if we had an operation name, I'd use it but we don't. --Forgottenlord 01:54, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Cortana got 3 cruisers, a carrier, while in slipspace 2 cruisers and a carrier. So its only 1 more ship and whitcomb even said "we have a battle to fight here" in slipspace. And on page 192 it says "however, to recharge the slipspace capacitors and regenerate the plasma she had expended in her(cortana) brief fight with the covenant cruisers." She only fired when the ships came after her and she was just testing her new firing method for the ships plasma, even then she was backing a way. It wasnt the second battle of reach, a second battle for a planet would be more like the 2nd battle of earth.--UNSCOH COL. "Running Riot" Ryan BAM 22:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC) 14:40, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
