'''Cleyell''' was a [[Human colonies|colony]] [[planet]] of the [[Unified Earth Government]] located among the [[Outer Colonies]].{{Ref/Comic|Id=HE17|[[Halo: Escalation]]|Issue=[[Halo: Escalation Issue 17|#17]]}}

==History==
===Human-Covenant war===
During the [[Human-Covenant War]], Cleyell was attacked and partially [[Glassing|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]] in 2549.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} However, the [[United Nations Space Command]] was evidently able to repel the Covenant forces, though only a single city on the planet survived the Covenant's assault. Cleyell remained untouched for the remainder of the Covenant War and the colony's remaining population continued to live on the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|HE17}}

===Post-war===
{{Quote|This one, Cleyell, was recent. They hit the only city left on the planet. Those folks made it all the way through the war… for this.|An Orbital Drop Shock Trooper{{Ref/Reuse|HE17}}}}
Following the Covenant War, although the Covenant had been dissolved, Cleyell was attacked in [[2556]] by a [[Covenant remnants|remnant]] of the former alien empire who subsequently glassed the remaining [[city]] on the planet. With hostile [[Kig-Yar]] raiders scavenging Cleyell's surface, the survivors contacted the [[Unified Earth Government]] for assistance.{{Ref/Reuse|HE17}} In response, the UNSC launched [[Mission to Cleyell|a massive rescue operation]] to Cleyell{{Ref/Site|Id=tanaka|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/holly-tanaka|SiteName=Halo Waypoint|PageName=Holly Tanaka}} that included [[UNSC Marine Corps]]' [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] and elements of the [[UNSC Army]]'s [[412th Engineer Command]] aboard {{UNSCShip|Cascadia}}. After arriving at Cleyell, upon the suggestion of [[Sergeant]] [[Holly Tanaka]], a [[lieutenant commander]] aboard ''Cascadia'' deployed Army and Marine search-and-rescue teams to rescue the stranded colonists on the surface,{{Ref/Reuse|HE17}} rescuing dozens of colonists from death or [[Slavery|enslavement]] at the hands of the Kig-Yar.{{Ref/Reuse|tanaka}}{{Ref/Comic|Id=HE18|Halo: Escalation|Issue=[[Halo: Escalation Issue 18|#18]]}}
