Viva La Revolution!
Social Infection ftw

It's about the Battle (and fall) of the planet Reach. Try reading The Fall of Reach, and First strike. I don't recommend reading The Flood, just play Halo 1.

If you want to get specific about it, then Reach is a planet controlled by the UNSC which is largely militaristic. It is used as a shipyard for alot of the ships as well. The planet was thought to be impregnable due to the orbital MAC (Magnetic Acceleration Cannon if I remember right) stations that could punch a hole through a covenant cruiser and the large military presence. This thought was largely believed until that horrible day when the covenant invaded, destroying the MAC guns and heading for the planet itself.

This was also the birthplace of the Spartan II's. When the children were kidnapped for the program, they were brought to reach for training. The spartans all trained here for the entire time until they were ready to go on missions.

However, after a certain amount of time, the covenant had invaded the planet, looking for a particular object hidden within it. Several spartans were at Reach at this time. The planet was later completely glassed (The proccess in which the covenant ships rain super-heated plasma from thier ships onto a planet, reducing the surface to glass from the heat)resulting in the death of many spartans.

If you want to know more, do as a previous poster has said and read Halo Fall of Reach and First Strike.
