Planet Reach: Remastered

"..our fortress among the stars." - Dr. Catherine Halsey
_______________________________________________________________

Reach was once humanity's greatest asset- second only to Earth in terms of importance for the species' survival. Located a mere 10.5 lightyears from the Sol System, it was located on Earth's metaphorical doorstep, and was the closest extra-Solar colony from her. The headquarters of the United Nations Space Command [UNSC], she acted as a strategically important world for humanity's defense, being the logistical center of humanity's military capability. Sparsely inhabited, the vast majority of her surface was populated by rural farming communities and small towns, with occasional mega-cities dotting major sea-and-space ports across the planet's surface.

A part of the Epsilon Eridani system, she was the second planet from the star, and the fourth largest planetary body overall. Reach is also home to two moons: Csodaszarvas and Turul, both named from Hungarian mythology. Sitting at roughly 20% larger than the overall size of Earth, Reach has remarkably similar surface conditions despite the difference, with a gravity of 1.08g and a temperate, gentle climate. Her surface is scarred with large impact craters- signs of a relatively recent formation, as the planet is surprisingly young at less than one billion years old.

One of the first colonies settled by humanity, she was first colonized in 2362, and quickly terraformed thereafter. Due to it's rich titanium deposits and proximity to Earth, she became the de-facto headquarters for the UNSC. From a firm and extensive defense grid, numerous ship-building and breaking yards, strategic training and planning facilities, and even home to the SPARTAN-II program, the planet has proved invaluable to humanity's defense- especially against the Covenant. It's no surprise then that the planet was eventually found and attacked en masse by the Covenant, quickly falling thereafter in the late summer of 2552. It's surface glassed extensively, it eventually found itself one of the prime candidates for resettlement and re-terraforming after the conclusion of the Human-Covenant war, with the first efforts of recolonization attempted in 2589, the famous mega-city of New Alexandria being refounded by 2610.

FEATURES:
Planet Reach has been redone from top to bottom- new landscape, new mountain ranges. Everything reworked, with only the bare minimum brought over from the original. Featuring a more diverse landscape, there are plenty of new vistas and valleys to see and explore- with a couple of familiar sights thrown in to boot!

Reach has also been reworked to utilize the amazing Water Mod by Jakaria, which is needed for the planet to function properly.

On top of that, a dynamic weather system is also in place, utilizing the base weather types from the vanilla Earthlike world.
