==The battle==
The [[Human]] orbital defenses maintained only a few small military vessels and a number of freighters in orbit. These were overwhelmed and destroyed by the fleet's scout vessels. When the main fleet arrived, ground forces were deployed to the surface, before being withdrawn after two days to clear the way for the orbital bombardment to follow. The Shipmaster leading the fleet was ordered by the Prophet of Conviction to manually control his cruiser's energy projector and carve the Covenant glyph for "Faith" into the surface of the planet. Upon completion of the glyph, the rest of the fleet opened fire and completely glassed Kholo. The battle was an overwhelming Covenant victory with Kholo being [[Glassing|glassed]], killing a large amount of [[civilian]]s and UNSC personnel trapped on the planet.<ref name="evo"/>
