Green Hills: Difference between revisions

{{Era|UNSC|HCW}}

'''Green Hills''' was a [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of the [[Unified Earth Government]].<ref>'''[[Halo Mythos]]''', ''page 54''</ref> Along with [[Second Base]], Green Hills was one of two [[human colonies]] to be [[Glassing|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]] almost immediately after [[Harvest]] in the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Note|Randomized NPC dialog in the ''Halo 4'' level ''[[Shutdown]]'' states that the UNSC fought for Green Hills in [[2527]]. This contradicts ''Halo: Wars Genesis'' and ''Halo: Reach''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s data pads, which indicate that Green Hills and Second Base were the second and third colonies to be glassed. This is probably a simple continuity error, though it is possible that the UNSC returned to the planet in an attempt to reclaim it following the precedent of the [[Harvest campaign]].}} Initially, the [[United Nations Space Command]] hoped to cover up the loss by implicating [[Insurrectionist|rebel]]s causing communications blackouts. However, they were soon forced to reveal that the UNSC was now at war with a xenocidal alien empire; the Covenant had killed two million civilians by glassing Green Hills and Second Base.<ref>''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]''</ref>

[[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] fought alongside an unidentified [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] on Green Hills. The two were briefly reunited in [[2557]] during the [[Battle of Requiem]], the former [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] having since become a [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IV]].<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]''', campaign level, ''[[Shutdown]]'' ('''Spartan-IV banter''': "''I fought with you on Green Hills back in '27. I was just an ODST back then.''")</ref>
