'''Glyke | '''Glyke''' was a [[Sangheili]] colony world that was destroyed by the [[Spartan-II]]s of [[Gray Team]] only days after the formalizing of the [[Treaty of 2552|treaty]] between the [[Unified Earth Government]] and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].<ref name="Envoy">''[[Halo: Envoy]]''</ref> | ||

Glyke was home to billions of [[Sangheili]] residents, both civilians and military. It was a major shipbuilding location for the [[Covenant]], which made it a prized target of the [[United Nations Space Command]] when its existence was discovered.<ref>http://www.tobiasbuckell.com/halo-envoy-ask-author/#comments</ref> Glyke was home to strong rivers, thundering winds, and sandy [[keeps]]s. | |||

Glyke was the birthplace of the cousins, [[Rojka 'Kaasan]] and [[Thars 'Sarov]]. In the last year of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the UNSC's [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] learned of Glyke. [[Operation: SUNSPEAR]] was conceived of as a retaliatory strike to ensure the Covenant knew its planets could be annihilated as well. Once [[Reach]] was [[Fall of Reach|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]], ONI made plans to enact vengeance for not just Reach, but all the worlds that had been lost to decades of genocide. When the Covenant finally reached the [[Sol system]], an emergency order was relayed to Gray Team: Condition Endgame. Seeing as [[Sanghelios]] was too well-protected, [[Gray Team]] was dispatched immediately to Glyke aboard a [[prowler]] to await further instruction. Months passed without any word from the chain of command. Finally, the three [[Spartans]] voted amongst themselves to destroy the planet, which was accomplished by covertly landing on its surface and priming a [[NOVA bomb]]. The entire planet was ripped to pieces by the [[nuclear weapon]], killing every being on it instantly. Gray Team's prowler just managed to escape the blast so that the Spartans were unharmed, but it was severely damaged and they were forced to evacuate in a [[Class-5 Bumblebee]] lifeboat. Aboard, they entered [[cryonics|cryostasis]].<ref name="Envoy"/> | |||

Thars witnessed the destruction of his home. He would later rebuke Rojka for being away at the time. Residents of the planet that were offworld at the time of its obliteration found themselves wouthout a place to call home, and with the permission of the Arbiter and the UEG, they went with a fleet taken over by Rojka to the planet [[Carrow]]. [[Fleetmaster]] Rojka Kaasan left probes in Glyke's system amidst the debris for nearly six years, until in [[2558]], one of them picked up a signal emanating from the Spartans' lifeboat. Rojka siezed the vessel and brought the three of them aboard his ship in secret. Only a very select few people know the truth about what happenned to Glyke. Some are Sangheili allies of the UEG. Many assumed that [[Jiralhanae]] were to blame or that the destruction was even wrought as a result of clan disputes on the planet. Once Gray Team returned to the UNSC in September of [[2558]] following [[Battle of Carrow|their escape]], the [[Arbiter]], [[Thel 'Vadam]], granted the team a formal pardon.<ref name="Envoy"/> | |||
