It's on Halopedia...on the page about ODps. According to them, they got their reference from Halo Evolutions--which I haven't got a copy of, so I can't check.
Okay. As I said, that idea was just thrown out there...It would have made sense for ONI to try something like it. Knew it had to be shot down sometime...
But, still, one section of the Cole Protocol was to delete all information as to the location of Earth...that could easily be modified in another section to something along the lines of "delete all information about Earth and her colonies."
Again...its something that I think ONI would do if they could, and they had years to prepare for it.
I can't quite remember...did it say that 60% was recalled only during the game? Have we figured out where the 100 ships that were supposed to be stationed at Reach went in the game?
As far as I know, there isn't any concrete evidence for this idea I have...it was just a suspicison.
Btw, when did the canon definitively say that the Covenant knew that Reach wasn't the homeworld of humanity? I just can't seem to remember it being said, or even implied. Earth was found completely by accident, right?
I think the Cole Protocol does state to erase all data that could lead to Earth or any other colonies, I know it forbade ships from jumping directly to Earth or another colony during the war.
Yes, Dot says something along the lines of "all fleets have been recalled to Reach 60% will be arriving in 48 hours."
The home fleet of Reach would be out be the SMACs probably, and we don't know where exactly most of the events of Reach take place in relation to the SMACs or major locations mentioned in TFoR, it could be two miles away, it could be on the side of the planet, we really don't know. Bungie did say though (in one of the weekly updates I believe) that the events of Reach are not in the same area of TFoR.
Also, there wouldn't be a need to see any of the defense fleet, because Kat thought up a plan that would waste much less lives than throwing the defense fleet at the LNoS. SO the ships are still there, we just didn't see them.
I don't think it ever did, I don't think anything says they thought Reach was humanity's homeworld either though, but I wouldn't be surprised if they came to that conclusion, seeing how the UNSC had more resources on Reach than anywhere else (aside from Earth) the Covenant had found Humanity, and the UNSC were defending Reach tooth and nail to beat the Covies.
Yes and no. Regret didn't know the location of Earth, but Truth did, and he had kept it secret. In First Strike Truth is massing a fleet to go and destroy Earth, but Chief and some of the other Spartans stop the plan. And Truth being the manipulative bastard he is, still keeps the information to himself and then Regret blunders onto Earth, and vwala, Halo 2 happens.
