How exactly did the Prohpet of Truth manage to break through Earth's defenses in 2552? Earth was the most heavily defended Human planet, with hundreds if not thousands of War Ships ( Dozens upon dozens of Marathon class Cruisers are seen in Halo 2 ), Hundreds of Frigates, as well as 298 Orbital Defense Platforms.
Reach had possibly more than that, they still broke through.
Truth had 30 Ships ( It was revealed at the Ark that Truth had 3 times as many ships as the Elites, who only had 10 ).
Okay this is where the logic breaks apart, Truth's fleet had that many ships after the invasion of earth, when they went through the ark.
Which means that they had more and had 30 or so left after the fleet's invasion.
The ODP's alone outnumbered Truth's fleet, as well as only taking 5 seconds to reload ( 12 Ships destroyed every minute, which gives the possibility of 3576 ships destroyed in 5 Seconds with all the ODP's firing ).
Wait what? 3,576 ships destroyed within 5 seconds!!!
1) Not all the orbital stations are in the same area of space as each other, they are in battle clusters spread across the circumference of the earth, not all clustered in one area.
2) They don't always hit their targets, nor do they always completely kill the ship without preventing it from killing them.
3) They lost a lot of orbital stations with the prophet of regret's fleet, which destroyed a certain amount, and some of the ships broke through their defenses and went in atmosphere (specifically regrets ship). So that means there is a hole for the prophet of regret to enter through.
4) Speculation leads to you thinking the canon is wrong. Please spend the time thinking through every possibility you can before saying "Wait didn't this mean that?".
