because there are only two types, and it sure as hell doesn`t look like Jupiter to me.

Key point, you cannot LIVE on a gas planet.

Even the SAS agrees with me...

OP, Reach is a world that humans colonized on in the Halo universe. It was like a second Earth, and the Covenant destroyed it cause their -blam!-s like that and don't like us.
Sadface, I know. The Covenant just hate us pimps at sea D:

Two types of planets are Terrestrial and Jovian.
Terrestrial = earth like planets
Jovian = gas planets like Jupiter and such

Reach is earth like therefor it is Terrestrial.

It`s easier to say Rock and Gas though, which is why I used those words.

An exploding one.

"We sleep peaceably in our beds, because rough men stand ready to visit violence upon those that wish to do us harm."

"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of all those who threaten them."

Depends on when your speaking

As of Halo CE, 2, 3 it's a dead world that's been glassed by Covenant. Pre CE it's the site of the largest battle of the Human-Covenant war and pre FoR it's the UNSCs biggest stronghold (apart from Earth), biggest shipyard, home of the Spartans, and staging base for most UNSC operations.

Oh and it also housed the Forerunner crystal which has the ability to dilate time.

Reach is kinda like earth, ie:rocks mountains,water, tree's, but mostly mountains, the covenant are after reach because they think all humans are a disgrace to their religion, as of the spartans are made on the planet and that humans occupy the planet , they want to destroy the humans and Reach seems to be in the way where the covenant are going to attack, and that reach was a important base planet with information to get to earth , and the planet had armies on it that could have reinforcments for earth

YOU'RE STILL ALIVE?!?

I always thought it was a forest world. The Covenent is attacked Reach because it was controled by Humans (they just hate us).

A glass one now!! *snickers*

  • 06.14.2009 6:22 PM PDT

In high definition baby!

It's a human colonized planet that is home to many ship making industry. There are a lot of captains and the Covenant are pirates that want to loot us and drink our beers.

  • 06.14.2009 6:25 PM PDT

I think it is a planet of love.
