It was also used for trees and grass to grow, and stuff.

Mostly a military base. There might be cities (civilian ones) but I can't remember right now...

It's a planet. They trained the Spartans there and had a butt load of other "top secret" military shiz.

Reach was one of the largest, if not the largest colony. It was UNSC's main military outpost. The ONI headquarters. The Spartans training ground. The last stand before earth.

The last place the Covenant were expected to strike.

Not really.

Remember Pearl Harbor? It's like a big island and some smaller islands that the US military ship on out to and made it into a huge military base?

Think of that, only it's the UNSC. And instead of an island, it's an entire planet.

It's a military installation. It consists of military training grounds, weapons/equipment/vehicle/ordinance/ammunition manufacturing (not to mention several large shipyards in orbit for building ships), research and development centers, offices of the UNSC, installations for various ONI and other agencies projects and top secret programs, as well as medical facilities, and barracks and other living areas for soldiers.

Civilians were on Reach, but not many. The only one's were researchers, doctors, engineers and scientists that did work and research at the various R&D departments and hospitals.
