Overview

Reach takes place in a futuristic science fiction setting during the year 2552, shortly before the events of the 2001 video game Halo: Combat Evolved. Humans, under the auspices of the United Nations Space Command, have been waging a long war against a collective of alien races known as the Covenant. By the events of Reach, almost all of humanity's interstellar colonies have fallen. Reach itself is an Earth-like colony that serves as the UNSC's main military hub. In addition to the military presence, the colony is home to over 700 million civilians. The game follows the actions of Noble Team, a UNSC special operations unit composed of elite supersoldiers known as Spartans.
