Reach is actually set in the Epsilon Eridani System. It's the closest known solar system and DOES exist. Unfortunatley, there is too much space debris to have a Reach-sized planet in safe orbit of the star (that's why there's a huge asteroid feild when you start up Reach) I'm not sure but I think that as of now we haven't discovered any stable planets orbiting the star. It is suppiosed to be a very young Solar System.
And, if this is true, and humans were originally six-fingered, does this mean that the Forerunner modified the other species to not be able to use Forerunner technology?
ex. The Forerunner selected us to carry on the Mantle, so they made the Grunt's arms unwieldy for fine motor skills, the Elites twin thumbs unable to properly use five-fingered Forerunner tech., the Jackals claws unable to do anything but scratch and grasp, and the Prophet's three-fingered hand the wrong size for activating anything Forerunner.
