Why did the covenant want to take Reach so bad?? Am I missing some important detail or just thinking about this one too hard?

They used it as an excuse to start a war with the Covenant, so they could distract the Insurrectionists and take oil from their planets.[/quote] Okay thats a down-right lie. If you actually read the books, the war was accidentally started at a meeting between the Brutes and Humans on Harvest. A soldier from the Militia stepped out of line and was slaughtered by a Brute infantry-man. That was when the war began. [/quote] This just made my day if you were being serious. Besides that, the first human casualty was caused by an Unggoy. Slaughtering the poor guy.
