The glassing of Balaho led to the species' surrender and the end of the rebellion.

On October 28, [[2558]], [[Cortana]] claimed the [[Mantle]] and broadcast an offer of peace and prosperity to many species of the galaxy. The Unggoy on Balaho responded favorably to this proposition, and in response, they were granted nearly limitless resources by the [[Created]]. Ships empty of life but loaded with advanced technology arrived. New agricultural support stations appeared in orbit, awaiting eager workers to feed the desperate masses below. The planet's factories, previously abandoned, came to life once more. Where chaos had once reigned, stability and a semblance of order returned. With their pressing requirements – food, shelter, medicine – met, Balaho’s finest designers and crafters began to work day and night, tirelessly building their future. From their factories come clever mechanisms and curious cudgels, manufactured with knowledge the Unggoy secretly learned over centuries of oppression and cruelty.<ref name="driving">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-driving-force '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Cannon Fodder: Driving Force'']</ref> | |||
