Reach became the target of a Covenant invasion in the year 2552 (Reach Calendar), or 2018 (Earth-579V Calendar). The invasion lasted for months, resulting in the push back of the Covenant. Countless human lives were taken in the Battle of Reach, both civilian and military. Multiple spartan teams fought on Reach, such as the formidable Noble Team, Gauntlet Team, Echo Team and Red team, all being wiped out. Their sacrifices were not in vein, as only months later, The Covenant were pushed off Reach
