Planet Reach is the UNSC extremely well defended stronghold in the Epsilon Eridanus System. It is their main military base planet, and it gets attacked by the covenant after they find its location by a covenant escape pod that escaped from a destroyed covenant vessel that followed Captain Keyes back to Reach. As reach is being destroyed, Captain Keyes (and his crew with Cortana) and Master chief escape the scene and go into slipspace arriving at the first Halo right then (basically in Halo: CE, you wake up in your cryo just after fighting battles outside of Reach's atmosphere [well, Master chief was outside of it's atmosphere]). Planet Reach is also where the Spartan II program took place (training, growing up after the kidnappings, etc.)
