It is now the 855th year, nearing the end of the 41st Millenium as allied forces thrived and holding their own against the endless tides of enemies. With the many battles and wars raging on the countless planets across the Halo Star Sector as well as the galaxy itself, something had to give. In the first 345 years of living in this blood-spilling galaxy Reach and Coruscant became Citadel Worlds in the eyes of their Space Marine allies. As both planets grew to immense proportions becoming highly defensive planets littered with planetary cannons, shield generators, and fortified defensive positions capable of withstanding nearly everything as the battles rage on both planets for dominance. Citadel Worlds are classified as heavily focused defendable planets with numerous infrastructures to support the necessities of living, in the unpredictability of war, and the overall survival of the "Lost Ones" a term used for those transported to this galaxy.

   Coruscant became unmatched when it came to numbers, with the hundreds of cloning facilities and droid factories scattered across and beneath the surface of the planet it would take an unbelievable large force to claim Coruscant. Each city is located at the bottom of a mountain with walls surrounding them as they expand further even beginning to build cities on top of one another in the same way the planet from their home galaxy was like. A military bunker is fortified into a Citidal structure is built inside the mountain itself, made with Shiulium to protect the last line of defense from the taint of corruption. These strongholds  also hold to store vehicles and weapons in times of need, this is as well the headquarters for all the dealings for the planet as a whole from Jedi and Sith training their disciples for the war effort to daily life. Potential warriors in the Force that learn quickly become willing participants in neighboring systems. Some Force-Users would not return from the procedure, either dying as the Force couldn't keep them alive through the ones sent to Reach to undergo augmentations into the various Spartan Programs being researched on the planet in the various procedures or they became wash-outs bonding to the augmentations but gaining strange side effects good and bad but that had to be monitored further to ensure that they were ready for front line combat. Asides from the surface itself in space wasn't any different, a massive shipyard stretched around the planet producing endless numbers of ships from the various Star Destroyer designs to newly created ones taking inspiration from the Spartan's M.A.C. guns improving their design adding them to nearly all their ships. The shipyard also acts as a planetary shield generator, protecting the planet from harm as the massive station is laced with thousands of turbo laser batteries, gun turrets, missile batteries, and having hundreds of M.A.C gun stations surrounding it made this a nearly unapproachable planet to their enemies.

    The populace of Reach would train the toughest warriors known throughout the Organization of Interest as this Death World used to be an Agri-World until an experiment to produce larger amounts of nourishment backfired but having an ambiguous outcome. A man-made synthetic chemical was introduced to the vegetation producing valuable results that turned bitter as time passed. The chemical worked too well causing severe difficulties; Plants developed new means of protecting themselves making it harder to harvest the crops, even so, this didn't stop the animals from eating the plants causing innumerable primal mutations. The indigenous flora and fauna instinctively emerged to be extremely hostile growing in mass and deadliness reclaiming that which was once theirs. With the evolutions and mutations, the planet was overtaken by the green, consuming cities and people alike until only one remained to defend its remaining populace and resources. When the Spartans and Mandolorains landed on the planet they got right to work burning the vegetation and reclaiming the planet and training the most capable and toughest soldiers. Constantly fighting back primal mutated creatures, the green and its toxic fumes while mining the toughest metal from this planet for their soldiers truly showed their dedication to aiding the alliance with skilled and nearly unkillable warriors with almost indestructible armor and deadly skills.
