Minab was attacked late in the [[Human-Covenant War]], in 2550. A handful of colonists survived the Covenant's orbital bombardment by having taken refuge in underground caves. Over the following year, gangs of [[Kig-Yar]] scavengers maintained a presence on the planet, tearing down the remnants of Minab's cities. More than three years after the Covenant's assault, UNSC search teams arrived and recovered a few surviving colonists from the planet, among them future Spartan [[Holly Tanaka]]. | Minab was attacked late in the [[Human-Covenant War]], in 2550.

The Covenant's glassing caused the entire planet to undergo a nuclear winter, turning Minab's surface into a frozen tundra. Despite its frigid conditions, some of the world's native wildlife survived the harsh environment. Bipedal [[List of animals|creatures]] reminiscent of [[Gúta]] were trapped and eaten by the surviving colonists. | The Covenant's glassing caused the entire planet to undergo a nuclear winter, turning Minab's surface into a frozen tundra.
