In 2525, the [[Spartan]]s went to Jericho VII to put down rebel factions on the planet.
'''Jericho VII''' was a lightly populated [[human colony]] [[world]] located in the [[Lambda Serpentis system]], orbited by four silver-colored [[moon]]s. Governed by the [[Unified Earth Government]], the world contained a biosphere suitable for human life, characterized by vast green oceans and rolling plains of palm grass.{{Ref/Reuse|tfor8}}


It was completely destroyed by the [[Covenant]] in February of 2535. The Spartans were there again with [[Marine]] support, fighting for three straight days. Though sucessful on the ground, superior Covenant naval forces prevailed, and the Spartans were forced to retread while the Covenant [[glassing|glassed]] the world.
