Just days after [[Treaty of 2552|a tentative peace treaty]] was formed between the [[Fleet of Retribution|group]] that would become the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and the UEG, the Sangheili colony of [[Glyke]] was mysteriously destroyed, killing billions. Rumors had it that the colony's destruction was either an internal conflict or a [[Jiralhanae]] retaliation, but in truth it was destroyed by [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Gray Team]] with a [[NOVA bomb]] as part of [[Operation: SUNSPEAR]], an effort to strike a blow at a major enemy world to try to cause the Covenant to reconsider. Having last heard that [[Earth]] was under attack, Gray Team were unaware of the war's end due to damaged deep-space communications equipment and thus that their mission was no longer necessary. When Gray Team resurfaced in [[2558]], [[Thel 'Vadam]] agreed to pardon the three Spartans for the action instead of trying them as [[war criminal]]s for genocide as part of a deal [[ONI]] offered to have Gray Team join an interspecies strike force operating in the [[Joint Occupation Zone]]s.{{Ref/Novel|Novel=Halo: Envoy}} | Just days after [[Treaty of 2552|a tentative peace treaty]] was formed between the [[Fleet of Retribution|group]] that would become the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and the UEG, the Sangheili colony of [[Glyke]] was mysteriously destroyed, killing billions.

===Covenant as a whole=== | |||
Collectively, the non-cradle worlds of the Covenant were referred to as "tithe worlds".{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg232}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg234}} | |||

===Sangheili=== | |||
Base worlds established by the [[Sangheili]] were considered the Covenant's primary worlds.<ref name="wp cov">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/covenant '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Covenant'']</ref> Smaller Sangheili colonies are often governed by only a handful of keeps, which control the entirety of the world's resources.{{Ref/Site|Id=universe|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/sangheili|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Sangheili}} | |||
===Jiralhanae=== | |||
Since the incorporation of the Jiralhanae, the [[San'Shyuum]] settled them on resource-rich worlds to guard them from anyone seeking to claim them for themselves, although the Jiralhanae lacked the ability to mine the resources themselves.<ref name="esc1">'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 1|Issue #1]]''</ref> | |||
===Other species=== | |||
Some species, such as the [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Lekgolo]], had created colonies of their own before their incorporation into the Covenant. These worlds would be absorbed into the empire after the species joined the Covenant. Covenant space would grow to include new worlds as the hegemony expanded throughout the spiral arm, and even [[Forerunner]] installations were settled by the Covenant. Despite the massive size of the empire, the Covenant would generally leave a newly discovered world untouched, unless the world held religious or practical significance. | |||
