Glyke was the birthplace of the cousins, [[Rojka 'Kaasan]] and [[Thars 'Sarov]]. In the last year of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the UNSC's [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] learned of Glyke. [[Operation: SUNSPEAR]] was conceived of as a retaliatory strike to ensure the Covenant knew its planets could be annihilated as well. Once [[Reach]] was [[Fall of Reach|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]], ONI made plans to enact vengeance for not just Reach, but all the worlds that had been lost to decades of genocide. When the Covenant finally reached the [[Sol system]], an emergency order was relayed to Gray Team: Condition Endgame. Seeing as [[Sanghelios]] was too well-protected, [[Gray Team]] was dispatched immediately to Glyke aboard a [[prowler]], the {{UNSCShip|Vacuna}}, to await further instruction. Months passed without any word from the chain of command. Finally, the three [[Spartans]] voted amongst themselves to destroy the planet, which was accomplished by covertly landing on its surface and priming a [[NOVA bomb]]. The entire planet was ripped to pieces by the [[nuclear weapon]], killing every being on it instantly. Gray Team's prowler just managed to escape the blast so that the Spartans were unharmed, but it was severely damaged and they were forced to evacuate in a [[Class-5 Bumblebee]] lifeboat. Aboard, they entered [[cryonics|cryostasis]]. | Glyke was the birthplace of the cousins, [[Rojka 'Kaasan]] and [[Thars 'Sarov]].

Rojka used Gray Team, known to the Sangheili as the ''Demons Three'' as a negotiating tool in his peace talks with the UEG and the people of the city [[Suraka]] on Carrow, but adamantly refused to release them. When Thars openly rebelled against Rojka, UEG peace envoy [[Melody Azikiwe]], acting under the orders of [[ONI]], managed to release Gray Team from their cryo chambers and they escaped the ''[[Unwavering Discipline]]'' to Carrow, chased by Rojka with the intention of gaining revenge. Gray Team eventually admitted what they had done to Melody, horrified to learn that Glyke's destruction was after the war's end. During [[Carrow Conflict|the following battle]], Gray Team and Rojka worked together to defeat the common enemy of Thras, the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Hekabe]] and his controlled [[Sharquoi]], causing Rojka to let go of his revenge. | Rojka used Gray Team, known to the Sangheili as the ''Demons Three'' as a negotiating tool in his peace talks with the UEG and the people of the city [[Suraka]] on Carrow, but adamantly refused to release them.

Despite worrying that they could be tried as [[war criminal]]s for Glyke's destruction, Gray Team was offered a deal by ONI where they would join an interspecies strike force operating in the [[Joint Occupation Zone]]s and in return, they would be formally pardoned by [[Thel 'Vadam]], the leader of the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. After adding some demands of their own, Gray Team agreed to the deal and were pardoned. | Despite worrying that they could be tried as [[war criminal]]s for Glyke's destruction, Gray Team was offered a deal by ONI where they would join an interspecies strike force operating in the [[Joint Occupation Zone]]s and in return, they would be formally pardoned by [[Thel 'Vadam]], the leader of the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].
