I found Halo Reach information inside the Halo Wars: Halo Timeline feature. There are three important dates discussing the events in Halo Reach:
1.
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 receive 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.
2.
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.
3.
30 August 2552 - 0500 hours
Pillar of Autumn, commanded by Captain Keyes, flees Reach with Cobenant 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

First off, if you own Halo Wars, you can view this information. You have to select the Halo Timeline feature from the Main Menu. Scroll through all the reports until you reach "27 August 2552". It is toward the end of the timeline.
Second, if this has already been discovered, I am sorry and you can lock this.
Third, no flaming please. It solves nothing. Wether you think my post is stupid or you don't like Halo Wars, I am asking you not to flame.

So what does this mean?
Well, in my theory ,you will play as one of the members of the "Covert Team" (see section 1) sent to "capture the Covenant leadership". Or maybe later in the game as Master Chief on Reach.
(see section 3) One spartan survived Reach, and is carried away on the Pillar of Autumn, which is where Halo CE picks up with the Master Chief being the only spartan on the ship!

I would post more, but I have things to do. Please, no flaming and lets have an intelligent discussion on this.
