Subject: A few questions on Reach...

Mainly the Book & The Game.

1. Why did The Covenant glass Reach?
2. How did The Covenant find Reach?
3. After Reach fell, how long was it until they started rebuilding? (2589 I believe was shown as the date when Halsey was talking about Six, but I mean when did they manage to clean the mess up and rebuild fully, if at all)

Just like the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, the world may never know...except Bungie.

1. Why did they glass the other colonies they attacked? The Covenant were waging a genocidal war against humanity.
2. A small tracking device affixed itself to the engine cowling of the UNSC Iroquois after an engagement in which Capt. Keyes performed the "Keyes Loop" at Sigma Octanus IV. The device recorded star positions and sent them to the Covenant fleet so even blind jumps were rendered ineffective.

1. Their exterminating Humanity, read the books. Although Reach wasn't full glassed like many other planets because their were Forerunner artifacts on it.

2. A spy probe attached to the UNSC Destroyer Iroquois after the space battle above Sigma Octanus IV.

3. 37 Years, if you count the difference between 2552 and 2589.

Seriously read the books. Although there are many conflicts in canon between the game Halo Reach and the book Fall of Reach.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

1. Covies don't like humans.
2. I believe they tracked the UNSC Iroquois to Reach.
3. The only evidence we have is the 2589 date, as no further information has been given yet.
