In 2530, the Covenant Empire attacked and glassed [[Eridanus II]], homeworld of the Master Chief. The [[Battle of Harvest]] then took place in 2531, the first major space engagement between the [[UNSC]] and the Covenant. The Covenant ~~were~~ outnumbered and the UNSC stood victorious, barely. In 2535, the Covenant destroyed [[Jericho VII]] in the [[Battle of Jericho VII]], and by that year, the Covenant were winning decisive victories against the UNSC, crushing its [[Outer Colonies]]. By 2536, Covenant militants swarmed into [[UNSC]] [[Inner Colonies]]. For several years, human lives were spent in huge numbers winning ground operations, only to be wasted after the Covenant won the battle in space, glassing the Inner Colonies one after another.
