Along with [[Second Base]], Green Hills was one of two [[human colonies]] to be [[Glassing|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]] almost immediately after [[Harvest]] | Along with [[Second Base]], Green Hills was one of two [[human colonies]] to be [[Glassing|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]] almost immediately after their [[First Battle of Harvest|attack]] on [[Harvest]] at the start of the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Note|Randomized NPC dialog in the ''Halo 4'' level ''[[Shutdown]]'' states that the UNSC fought for Green Hills in [[2527]]. This contradicts ''Halo: Wars Genesis'', which indicates that Green Hills and Second Base were glassed shortly after Harvest was attacked in 2525. This is probably a simple continuity error, though it is possible that the UNSC returned to the planet in an attempt to reclaim it following the precedent of the [[Harvest campaign]].}} Initially, the [[United Nations Space Command]] hoped to cover up the loss by implicating [[Insurrectionist|rebel]]s causing communications blackouts. However, they were soon forced to reveal that the UNSC was now at war with a xenocidal alien empire; the Covenant had killed two million civilians by glassing Green Hills and Second Base.{{Ref/Comic|[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]}} | ||
