At some point prior to the Human-Covenant War, Thomas Lasky's older brother, [[Cadmon Lasky]], trained at Corbulo. He became a favorite amongst the instructors there, which later resulted in Thomas Lasky being looked down upon by many for not living up to his brother's standards. | |||

During the opening days of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2526]], [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI Section II]] kept the [[Covenant]] invasion secret from a large portion of the general population; this included Corbulo Academy's cadets and most of the school's personnel, although General Black was informed. As preparation for a possible attack, Black discreetly increased the readiness of the [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] garrison posted in the academy and authorized limited communications blackouts under the guise of routine maintenance procedures. | |||

Teams of Marine [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] dropped in to the academy grounds to reinforce the locally stationed Marines, with the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] supersoldiers [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]], [[Fred-104]] later arriving to support the academy's defense. Corbulo's officer cadets and the local Marine guard were caught off-guard by this attack, which resulted in the deaths of virtually all the students and personnel stationed at the academy, save for [[Hastati Squad|three survivors]] rescued by Blue Team. The Academy itself was completely destroyed when the planet was [[glassing|glassed]] after the attack.<ref>'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''' ''Part 5''</ref> | Not long after, on April 26th,<ref>[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2482554_Today-in-Halo.aspx#post2482554 '''Halo Waypoint Forums''' - ''Today in Halo'']</ref> the school came under attack by the Covenant, with at least three [[SDV-class heavy corvette|heavy corvettes]] descending over the campus and one of them destroying the academy's space elevator, halting the ongoing evacuation effort.
