A harsh world filled with towering mountain ranges and deserts, Reach's settlements range from remote, self-sufficient farming communities to futuristic metropolitan cities such as New Alexandria. With a population of over 700 million, it is also one of the most populous human colonies. The titular planet Reach, located in the Epsilon Eridani system at Earth's metaphorical doorstep, is arguably the UNSC's most important military stronghold and shipyard. Reach remains as humanity's last military stronghold and is often considered the only thing that stands between the Covenant and Earth. By 2552, virtually all of the Outer Colonies have been devastated by the Covenant, who now ravage the Inner Colonies. However, despite their best efforts, humanity could only slow down the Covenant's advance. The SPARTAN-III commandos, while greater in numbers than the SPARTAN-IIs, were created to assault high-value targets en masse, in suicide missions in which they often succeeded, at the cost of entire companies. In 2531, the UNSC initiated another supersoldier project known as the SPARTAN-III program. Even with the all-encompassing Covenant threat, many human insurgent movements lived on, forcing the UNSC to fight a two-front war. In the years that followed, the technologically superior Covenant swept through the Outer Colonies, systematically wiping out human colonies by plasma bombardment. Following an unfortunate chain of events set in motion by the contact at Harvest, the Covenant's religious leaders deemed humans "unclean beings" and waged an all-out genocidal campaign with the intent of wiping the human race out of existence. In 2525, humanity made first contact with a powerful alien hegemony known as the Covenant on the distant farming world of Harvest. In 2517, the SPARTAN-II program was initiated by the UNSC to counter the threat of an imminent all-out civil war in the Outer Colonies by producing a group of biologically-enhanced supersoldiers. By the late 25th century, various rebel and secessionist factions commonly known as Insurrectionists emerged in the Outer Colonies, actively opposing the UNSC-imposed rule on the outlying worlds. However, colonization did not come without its problems.
