| ===Human-Covenant War===
| | Ealen IV was [[Terraforming|terraformed]] by the Covenant solely for the purpose of producing [[plasma]] for large-scale industrial work. |
| During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the plasma production facility on the planet was considered a valued prize by the Covenant. Due to Ealen IV's proximity to the Outer Colonies, they established many defensive redoubts on the planet which were later decommissioned.{{Ref/Reuse|HE2}}

| ===Battle of Ealen IV===
| |
| {{Main|Battle of Ealen IV}}
| |
| In [[2558#March|March 2558]], the planet was the site of peace negotiations between [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]], [[Thel 'Vadam]], and [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Lydus]]. During the negotiations, the group was attacked by [[Vata 'Gajat's mercenary group|Covenant mercenaries]] led by [[Vata 'Gajat]], resulting in the [[Battle of Ealen IV]].{{Ref/Reuse|HE1}}
| |
| | |
| The group proceeded to fight their way to the redoubt on the planet, where they discovered that Spartan [[Vladimir Scruggs]] had betrayed them and was working with the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|HE2}} The rogue Spartan took Admiral Hood hostage, but Spartan [[Sarah Palmer]] was able to kill Scruggs before any harm could be done to the delegates. [[Captain]] [[Thomas Lasky]] contacted the fleets and asked them to cease their infighting and send their forces to the delegates' aid instead. However, both sides refused to listen to him while a massive Covenant force converged on the redoubt. Eventually, the group found a [[Covenant cargo tug]] in the redoubt and used it to escape, while Spartan [[Fireteam Bailey]] and [[Paul DeMarco]] sacrificed themselves to cover the group's escape.{{Ref/Comic|HEsc|Issue=3}}
