From the Beggining you know the end.
This tells you about Halo Reach and what the game's story is About. I noticed this in the timeline of Halowars. This is before Combat Evolved, and it leads up to Combat Evolved.
27 August 2552: Twenty-five of the twenty-eight surviving SPARTAN-IIs, including SPARTAN-117, are recalled to Reach to be briefed on the Covenant threat and to recieve their new orders: board a damaged Covenant vessel, use a "mission specialist" to crack the Covenant computer system, and locate the Covenant homeworld. Once accomplished, a covert team will be dispatched to capture the Covenant leadership and broker a truce by force. Despite recent successes, the human military is being systematically slaughtered, and this may be the only chance for survival.
30 August 2552: [0400 hours] Reach, the home of ONI's CASTLE facility and the Spartan-II project, is attacked by an overwhelming Covenant force. The vessel Pillar of autumn, Captain Keyes commanding, transports Spartans into battle, hoping to seize a Covenant vessel. Though the Covenant are prevented from learning Earth's location, most of the Spartans fall in battle and Reach is lost.
30 August 2552: [0500 hours] Pillar of Autumn, commanded by Captin Keyes, flees Reach with Covenant ships in pursuit. The ship is heavily damaged, but manages to drop into slipspace and escape. Pillar of Autumn carries the only Spartan thought to have survived the engagement on Reach.
