The Reach is the name of an insectoid species of alien conquerors and their empire. Though many species have been incorporated into the Reach, its most trusted members are of the original Reach species. Also known as the Kroloteans' Competitor, the Reach allied themselves with the Light, who referred to them as their Partner. However, that term was also often used synecdochically, as it referred to their field agent specifically as well.
Following a history of conquest, the Reach was forced to change tactics after being forced to sign a peace treaty with the Guardians of the Universe. The treaty forbade them from invading any planet unless they were invited. The Reach did not feel bound to follow the treaty to the letter, however, and were willing to tamper with worlds if they could make sure no proof could be presented to the Guardians. Delegations sent to take worlds operate under the Reach Planetary Acquisition Code. Article 16 of the Code allows the delegation leader to be relieved of command for incompetence.
