Why exactly did the covenant attack reach? Please real answers people
I didn't look it up on the internet because i didn't feel like reading through the plot to find it if it is even there.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] nvmberfive I thought it was because they thought there was Forerunner tech on the planet. Or was that Harvest?[/quote] Both actually.
-
cause we stole the prophets cookies again,and they were tired of it
-
search and destroy -search for forerunner relics and for any thing that might lead them to earth -destroy any and all humans because they are at war Ironically the covenant found Earth on accident even with all of the searching they had on each human planet.

Reach didn't hold the location to Halo, the crystal on Sigma Octanus 4 did, the covies just followed the Autumn to it. Why the covenant attacked reach is simple. They knew there were forerunner artifacts on the planet, they wanted them obviously. However after the battle of Sigma Octanus 4 (where they get the crystal that ultimately leads Cortana, and thus the Autumn, to Halo) the UNSC Destroyer Iroquois returned to Reach, but the covenant had planted a homing beacon on it. It was due to this that the covenant learned of Humanity's presence on Reach, and learned just how strong the world was. Thus they attacked, the same as any other world, they had to remove the human filth from the galaxy. The forerunner artifacts were just a bonus.[/quote] Someday everyone is going to stop citing these books. The books are not the canon that is why they are being revised. Jesus christ some of you are slow or stupid, one or the other.[/quote] Lol? So because you say they're not canon, that suddenly means they aren't? Since when did you over-rule Bungie? Bungie has flat out said that the books are canon, unless other-wise over-written by the games. So we'll stop citing the books when they stop being canon.

The Covenant needed to demolish it in order to make way for a slipspace bypass. The plans had been available in the local planning office on High Charity for at least twenty-five Earth years, it's not the Covenant's fault the humans didn't bother to file a formal complaint while they had the chance.

for all of the Sexy Reach Beeches ;)
-
The military presence on Reach, as well as forerunner tech.
-
They could have just gone around Reach, but the Covenant doesn't go for the Reach around.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] H34DS40T98 Honeslty guys i think reach would have survived if more spartans had been made.[/quote] You know they mainly had males on reach! bad odds for guys if u ask me!
-
When the covenent attacked reach they were looking for MACdonalds...They believed that there was a golden hamburger. Also the male elites believed we looked awesome and to prevent us breeding, they attacked us. That was when the prophet decided to send in the troops to wipe us out. The only problem was that we stopped using guns and gave beer to them as a peace offering. They then drunk and stupid, glassed us!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Larsirius Because the Covenant are hellbent on wiping out humanity?[/quote] No, let's put it this way. The Coevenant want Forerunner tech right? Well guess who's living on Forerunner tech? The humans. The rest you can add for yourself...
-
here ya go, "The war was instigated by the Covenant, whose Prophets discovered that humans were directly related to the Forerunners. In order to keep the Covenant intact, war was declared against humanity. Over the next few decades, the Covenant, with superior firepower, tactics (debatably), numbers and technology, overpowered humanity on hundreds of worlds, including heavily defended strongholds such as Reach. The Humans would only win scattered and costly victories."
-
Looking for Forerunner technology buried under the planet, such as the structure in the mission the package where you defend the door to Halsey's lab. Which also implies that Cortana is made from forerunner technology.
-
They originally believed that Reach was the human homeworld, so they hit it hard. When they attacked Earth the Prophet was just searching for Forerunner tech to my knowledge, and didn't expect to find the homeworld.
-
The Covenant wanted Forerunner relics that were on Reach, and since humans were living there, it was convenient to just send the whole fleet in to take care of both problems.
-
They were looking for forerunner artifacts primarily. As it turned out they had technology that pinpointed forerunner tech and the prophets found out that HUMANS were forerunner descendants as they were marked with forerunner symbols. So, instead of risking a loss of faith and rebellion in the covenant they decided that humans were heretic and needed to be wiped out and didn't tell anyone else in the covenant. Fin.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] speedster119 Read the books if you want a deeper story[/quote] I think i will do that i read fall of reach but still couldn't understand why they were attacking reach i guess because I'm 14 i cant comprehend well yet but i will read it again

the Relics Duke! the Relics!.... I'm Relic blind kid. free internetz for a year if some1 knows what that's from. yes I did swap out one word.

1.forunner 2.more spartans getting created=coveant GETTING OWNED
-
Well I would guess that if you want to eliminate humanity, it makes sense to take out one of their most important strongholds and find earth. Common sense. It would be like saying, you know, I really want to conquer europe - I think Malta is the place we should focus our attention.
