Lore & Background
By the time of the game almost all of humanity's interstellar colonies have fallen, and Reach is described as the UNSC's last major stronghold besides Earth. After the Covenant invasion of Reach, Master Chief was left as one of the few remaining Spartan-IIs; the Pillar of Autumn's random slipspace jump away from Reach leads into the events of Combat Evolved.
