Subject: Hi, I have some Halo: Reach questions

-Question-
1st- Wouldn't reach be close to earth due to spartan training and such?

2nd So sierra is like a special name for Spartans or something?

3rd How did the Spartans die before the besiege of reach.

4th Was the second training of Spartans ever destroyed or were they saved?

5th Is reach imminently before halo combat evolved?

6th since spartan-117 (aka) Master chief) is headed to reach , is it possible for him to find a spartan still there alive (cause that would be really good for co-op since arbitar is gone)
last Since the elite's only wanted revenge on the prophet is there any chance they will try and still fight earth and the remaining covenent (cause remember on halo 2 right after you kill a prophet a huge mass of covenent ship's slip out of hyperspace and hold position above halo , is there any chance that somewhat of the fleet remains?

Thanks.

Answer for 3rd question:
According to the Halo:Fall of Reach book halfe of the spartans in training died from the augmentation, which is a process in the human skin.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

1. Reach isn't incredibly far from Earth. It wouldn't make sense for it to be, considering Reach is the military hub of the entire UNSC, for the most part.

2. Sierra is not, never has been, and likely never will be a callsign that is used for only Spartans. It is the military code sign for the letter S. Thus far, it has been used for Spartan callsigns as well as a Pelican in the novels, if I'm not mistaken.

3. 30+ Spartans-IIs were either killed or crippled in the bioaugmentation procedures in 2525 when they were only 14 years-old.

4. The second training of Spartan-IIs has never been confirmed to even occur, so we can not say what fate has befallen a theoretical group of people. There was a subsequent Spartan project in which Spartan-IIIs were created, however. There are a small handful alive and well at the end of Ghosts of Onyx, and 315 others whose fates have not yet been revealed to us.

5. The events that occur in "The Fall of Reach" occur and end directly before Halo: Combat Evolved. "First Strike", which also has a large plot story about Reach actually occurs after Halo: Combat Evolved.

6. Master Chief is not headed for Reach. The planetoid at the end of the Legendary Ending is unidentified, and is likely of Forerunner nature given its incredibly large Forerunner symbol that can be seen as the light emanates from the background. Reach and this planetoid reside in different locations with different suns and the surroundings differ greatly as well.

As for the rest of the Covenant, it is implied months later that the Covenant had crumpled apart and was no longer a threat.

1st- yes reach is close to earth it is a major military base colonized because it was so similar to earth.
2nd- never mind its what the other guy said...
3rd- most didn't, about a quarter of them died during the augmentation process, Sam died during an encounter with a covenant ship in space the rest either died on reach or escaped into the mines bellow the surface of reach.
4th- neither, the second company of spartan 2's were canceled due too lack of funding and candidates.
5th- If i remember correctly Halo CE starts approximately 7 hours after reach.
6th- don't understand what you mean by master chief is headed to reach.1: at the end of halo 3 master chief isn't headed anywhere in particular he is drifting in the wreckage of a unsc ship. 2: during the battle of reach master chief takes blue team (himself, Linda, and James) on to an orbital docking station to retrieve nav data from the unsc ship circumference. the rest of the Spartans go to the surface of reach to defend the orbital MAC generators from the covenant invasion forces.
