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 process of glassing a planet begins when a fleet has achieved air and space superiority on an enemy-controlled world. The specifics of the glassing process vary depending on the strategic significance of the planet or the orders of the Fleet Master. | 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.

'''''High Charity''''', known as the '''Holy City of the Covenant''' or the '''Prophets' Holy City''', was the Covenant's mobile capital city and center of government. It was a massive space station, home to thousands of individuals from each of the Covenant's member species. As it was the Covenant's major center and capital, ''High Charity'' was enormously sacred to the Covenant.

The Forerunners were the creators and builders of many significant installations, including the Halo Array, the Ark, and the Shield Worlds, as well as numerous lesser artifacts later found on many worlds.
