The term glassing, more formally known as plasma bombardment, is used to refer to the act by which a Covenant ship or ships bombard a planet from orbit by using heavy plasma weaponry.

The specifics of the glassing process vary depending on the strategic significance of the planet or the orders of the Fleet Master.
