As one of the first acts of the war, the planet Harvest was immediately glassed. [[Spartan-II]] super soldiers were deployed in the [[Battle of Chi Ceti]], boarding a Covenant Frigate, planting explosives on the ship, and destroying it. It should however be noted that the victory came at a high cost. The Master Chief's personal friend, [[Samuel-034]] was killed when the nuclear devices confiscated from the Pelican dropship were detonated because he had a breach in his suit which meant he would die if he went outside the ship. After this, the Covenant engaged the UNSC in a multitude of space battles, most of which the Covenant won due to their superior technology.

In 2530, the Covenant Empire attacked and glassed [[Eridanus II]], home world of the Master Chief. The [[Third Battle of Harvest]] then took place in 2531. In [[2535]], the Covenant destroyed [[Jericho VII]] in the [[Battle of Jericho VII]], and by that year, the Covenant were winning decisive victories against the UNSC, crushing and decimating its [[Outer Colonies]]. By 2536, Covenant militants swarmed into the UNSC [[Inner Colonies]]. For several years, human lives were spent in huge numbers winning ground operations, only to be wasted after the Covenant won the battle in space, glassing the Inner Colonies one after another.  
Multiple engagements would ensue in the [[Outer Colonies]], including the [[Second Battle of Harvest]], which ended in the UNSC destroying a single Covenant vessel above Harvest. After this, the Covenant engaged the UNSC in a multitude of space battles, most of which the Covenant won due to their superior technology. Soon after the UNSC's retake of Harvest, the Covenant would return to the planet, resulting in a [[Harvest Campaign|prolonged engagement]] for control of the planet. In 2530, the Covenant Empire attacked and glassed [[Eridanus II]], home world of the Master Chief.

Then, in 2537, [[Spartan-III]]s were trained and deployed in the battles of [[New Harmony]], [[New Constantinople]], and the [[Siege of the Atlas Moons]]. In [[Operation: PROMETHEUS]], Spartan-III Alpha Company was slaughtered by Covenant forces. Noted however, they managed to succeed in their goal of destroying the reactors on the moon. In 2544, the minor [[Battle of Miridem]] took place. In 2545, [[Operation: TORPEDO]] resulted in the massacre of Spartan-III Beta Company at [[Pegasi Delta]].
