It was sometime around 2517.
Also, in the first chapter of The Fall of Reach, it says 2535, which is when the Spartans are on that cliff and have the whole mass of grunts coming at them. So It couldn't be 2552.

thx. and actually im gonna put up the first part of the script too figure out if there any problems with it.
Narraration:" The year is 2456. Earth has become grossly over populated. The problem was eventually solved. The humans sent out a multitude Halcyon class ships to explore the depths of
space and search for a planet with a envirement that could support human life. "
"One ship named Phoenix, the brother ship to the POA discovered a planet later named alpha-centori. Its climate was nearly identical to earth and was a perfect planet to settle on."
" Immediately the humans began to build civilazations all over alpha-centori. Over the years it turned into a world completely populated by humans. Everything seemed to be going good.
That is... until the covenent attacked."
"The siege of the covenet began in the canyons that were the most heavily fortified by the marines. And if they made it passed our defenses they would begin the attack on the major citys
we had established. We could not let that happen. So we fought back"
if you
see anything wrong with the story plz correct it for me.

Yeah, I'm not really a 'nerd'. I just looked at the beginning of the first book and found the heading with the year on it.
