Its happens right before Halo 1, and I mean right before. If you have the halo 1 game manual lying around it gives some good info! lol

"They let me pick... did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research. Watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others you were strong and swift and brave, a natural leader. But you had something they didn't. Something no one saw but me. Can you guess? Luck."

There is ALOT of story behind it. I would recomend reading the Fall of Reach and First Strike.

-*Spoilers*- Just in case your going to read the book.

But basicly Reach is the Human's main world besides Earths. Its the most defendable, and is a big military type production world. So, once the covenant found out about that, the slip jumped in, destroyed pretty much everything in orbit ( except for the PoA which jumped to the first halo) Then glassed the planet except for one area which is where most of blue team was. That area housed a forerunner artifact which the covenant wanted, but Blue Team got. Then blue team escaped with the Cheif ( Who came back to get them with Sgt Johnson. ) In a covie flag ship. Then sliped away before the rest of the planet was glassed.

Thats the Fall of Reach in one paragraph. Halopedia has more info that I missed. http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
