'''Gladsheim''' was a town on the planet of [[Harvest]].<ref>''Halo: Contact Harvest'', page 287</ref> The town had a [[Gladsheim Main Street|Main Street]] running down its center, and to the east of the street all buildings were [[JOTUN Heavy Industries]] repair shops and farm-supply warehouses. The buildings were arranged on a grid of wide asphalt streets that stretched out into the [[Plains of Ida]].<ref>''Halo: Contact Harvest'', page 285</ref> The tallest structure in Gladsheim was its water tower, which was supported by a large [[polycrete]] pillar. The town was surrounded by farms.<ref>''Halo: Contact Harvest'', page 286</ref> | |||
==History== | |||
After several years of negotiations, the [[Harvest militia]] was organized and the militia garrison was established just outside of Gladsheim.<ref>''Halo: Contact Harvest'', page 107</ref> The residents of Gladsheim chose to live in the town as it was the most remote settlement of Harvest, the most distant [[human colonies|human colony]].<ref name="ch289">''Halo: Contact Harvest'', page 289</ref> | |||
In [[2525#February|February 2525]], the [[Covenant]] [[First Battle of Harvest|attacked]] Harvest. After the capital city of [[Utgard]], Gladsheim was the second settlement on Harvest to be attacked by Covenant forces. The [[Rapid Conversion|attacking Covenant vessel]] disabled a majority of Harvest's defences and entered atmosphere over Gladsheim.<ref>''Halo: Contact Harvest'', page 279</ref> A majority of the town's residents did not evacuate because no one believed the aliens would attack Gladsheim.{{Ref/Reuse|ch289}} The town became under siege by [[Covenant]] {{Pattern|Dextro Xur|Spirit}}s, [[Yanme'e]], and [[Jiralhanae]] with the attacking forces being led by Jiralhanae [[Chieftain]] [[Maccabeus]]. The militia engaged the Covenant, destroying one dropship, killing several Yanme'e, and wounding Maccabeus. However, the Covenant destroyed a majority of the buildings in the town.<ref>''Halo: Contact Harvest'', pages 297-310</ref> Thousands of civilians, including [[Wallace Jenkins]]' entire family, died in the attack. However, at least one person is known to have survived.<ref>''Halo: Contact Harvest'', page 299</ref> | |||
The news of Gladsheim's destruction travelled fast to the civilians in Utgard. It began to cause panic among survivors.<ref>''Halo: Contact Harvest'', page 318</ref> | |||
