During the [[Battle for Earth]], ONI initiated [[Operation: SUNSPEAR]] and forwarded a high priority message to the [[Spartan-II program|Spartans]] of [[Gray Team]], declaring "Condition: Endgame" under which they were to execute the detonation of a NOVA bomb on the surface of the Covenant colony world of [[Glyke]], a major military production center home to billions of [[Sangheili]]. Deploying from the {{UNSCShip|Vacuna}}, Gray Team made landfall and activated the warhead on the planet's surface. Once out of range the NOVA bomb was detonated, destroying the planet and all life on its surface. Gray Team was unaware that the war was over and [[Treaty of 2552|a tentative peace]] had been reached with the [[Swords of Sanghelios]], making the action no longer necessary. During the [[Carrow Conflict]] in [[2558]], Gray Team were left worried about being charged as [[war criminal]]s for their actions, but ONI offered them a deal which included a pardon from [[Thel 'Vadam]] for Glyke's destruction.{{Ref/Reuse|Env}} | During the [[Battle for Earth]], ONI initiated [[Operation: SUNSPEAR]] and forwarded a high priority message to the [[Spartan-II program|Spartans]] of [[Gray Team]], declaring "Condition: Endgame" under which they were to execute the detonation of a NOVA bomb on the surface of the Covenant colony world of [[Glyke]], a major military production center home to billions of [[Sangheili]].
