'''Green Hills''', along with [[Second Base]], was one of two [[human]] colonies to be [[Glassing|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]] almost immediately after [[Harvest]] in the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Initially, the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] had hoped to cover up their loss by explaining it away as a communications blackout caused by [[Insurrectionist]]s. Eventually, they were forced to reveal that the UNSC was now at war with a [[Covenant Empire|xenocidal alien hegemony]], and that this and a number of other colonies had been destroyed along with the total loss of two million [[civilian]]s between them.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'''</ref>
'''Green Hills''' was a [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of the [[Unified Earth Government]].{{Ref/Book|HM|Page=54}} In [[2525]], it became one of the first human [[Human colonies|colonies]] to fall to the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Comic|Id=Genesis|HWG}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
==History==
===Human-Covenant war===
Green Hills was attacked and [[glassing|glassed]] by the Covenant in [[2525]],{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} becoming one of the first [[human colonies]] to be lost after the [[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 the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'', which indicates that Green Hills was glassed 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/Reuse|Genesis}}
 
[[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] fought alongside an unidentified [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] on Green Hills in [[2527]]. The two were briefly reunited in [[2557]] during the [[Battle of Requiem]], the former [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] having since become a [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IV]].{{Ref/Level|H4|Shutown|Detail=Spartan-IV banter|Quote=I fought with you on Green Hills back in '27. I was just an ODST back then.}}
