[[File:FUD-Corbulo-Glassed.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The Covenant [[glassing]] Circinius IV.]] | |||
As part of SILENT STORM, the UNSC moved to position themselves at [[Seoba]], over Biko and discovered an [[Insurrectionist]] plot to overthrow the Bikon Chancellor. This would require the UNSC to go on the [[Battle of Seoba|offensive]] before they would fight the Covenant.{{Ref/Novel|HSS|Chapter=7}} The Insurrectionists were driven back, but not before the Covenant arrived and attacked the planet.{{Ref/Novel|HSS}} | |||
Almost a month after, the prestigious [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]] on [[Circinius IV]] was destroyed, leaving only 3 survivors who were rescued by Blue Team. Parts of the planet were also glassed.{{Ref/Film|Id=h4fud|[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]}} | |||
Only two days after Circinius IV, ONI projects were refocused to solely counter the Covenant.

Two years later in [[2530]], [[Eridanus II]] was glassed and the UNSC abandoned the planet.{{Ref/Novel|HFS|Page=240}} On December 24 of 2530, the UNSC and Covenant clashed at the [[Battle of the Great Bear]]. The battle would lead to the formation of the [[Cole Protocol]].{{Ref/Reuse|hwgenesis}} | |||
As the Outer Colonies fell, the UEG spent considerable resources building up [[Cascade]] in order to replace accumulating losses elsewhere. Evacuated skilled technical and engineering personnel also ended up on the world resulting in the UNSC building a naval depot there in 2530.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=45}} | |||

Despite their major numerical and technological advantages over humanity, by [[2531]], the Covenant High Prophets had realized that the task of destroying an entire sapient species had a logistical burden beyond anything that the [[Covenant military]] could muster without leaving Covenant space defenseless.{{Ref/Level|Id=HWscarab|HW|[[Scarab (Level)|Scarab]]}} Seeking a more efficient solution, the [[Prophet of Regret]] dispatched [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] to Harvest to claim a Forerunner [[Relic (location)|artifact]] buried under the north pole of Harvest.{{Ref/Level|HW|[[Alpha Base (Halo Wars level)|Alpha Base]]}} After a heated fight on the surface, forces from the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'' were able to examine the artifact, a star map, and realized that it had led the Covenant to another human colony: [[Arcadia]].<ref name="city">'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level, ''[[Arcadia City]]''</ref> | |||
As predicted, the Covenant [[Battle for Arcadia|followed the information]] from the artifact to Arcadia. The Covenant hoped that the planet would contain more Forerunner artifacts for them to claim, and while they only found a [[Arcadia Forerunner ruins|complex of ruins]], information garnered from them led them to a [[Trove|Shield World]]. The ''Spirit of Fire'' followed and removed the Covenant presence from the planet. However, 'Moramee's capture of an [[Ellen Anders|important civilian researcher]] forced Captain Cutter to pursue the Covenant to the newly discovered Shield World without reinforcements.{{Ref/Reuse|HWscarab}} | |||
On the Shield World, the crew of the ''Spirit of Fire'' eventually discovered that the Covenant needed Professor Anders to activate [[the Apex]] and claim the huge fleet of [[Sojourner-class dreadnought|Forerunner dreadnoughts]] held there.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead]]''</ref> A group of Marines, together with SPARTAN-II [[Red Team]], rescued the researcher and destroyed the Shield World by initiating the collapse of the interior star. The Arbiter was also killed by [[John Forge]] during the battle though the Prophet of Regret escaped.{{Ref/Level|HW|[[Escape (Halo Wars level)|Escape]]}} | |||
By the same year, fighting with the Covenant had reduced the amount of UNSC fissile material in the sector containing the [[111 Tauri system]] to virtually none.{{Ref/Novel|GoO|Chapter=1}} | |||
===Further battles=== | |||
Despite the loss of Trove, the Covenant would continue to press forward. In [[2532]], the colony of [[Vodin]] would be attacked but would survive.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint enc}} | |||
[[Hat Yai]] and [[Paradise Falls]], however, would end up being glassed in [[2533]]. Harvest would be glassed again in [[2534]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||

===Loss of the Outer Colonies=== | |||
With the fall of the Outer Colonies, the UNSC called upon private industry to manufacture previously classified war materiel. The result of this would be the GEN1 [[ROGUE-class Mjolnir]].{{Ref/Game|H3|[[ROGUE-class Mjolnir]] description}} | |||
By [[2535]], a number of Outer Colonies had been lost and refugees were beginning to pour into the [[Inner Colonies]], such as on [[Chi Rho]].{{Ref/Novel|TCP|Page=25}} | |||
The losses of various Outer Colonies would also create some of the orphans who would make up the [[SPARTAN-III program]]. This includes but is not limited to; [[Carter-A259]] following Biko,{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/carter-a259|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Carter-A259}} [[Rosenda-A344]] after Vodin,{{Ref/Site|Id=CFPhoenixBlog|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-phoenix-blog|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Phoenix Blog|D=22|M=02|Y=2023}} and [[Emile-A239]] following Eridanus II.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/emile-a239|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Emile-A239|D=16|M=10|Y=2021}} | |||
