Green Hills, along with Second Base, was one of two human colonies to be glassed by the Covenant almost immediately after Harvest in the Human-Covenant War.[note 1] Initially the UNSC hoped to cover up the loss by implicating the Insurrectionists in a communications blackout. However, they were soon forced to reveal that the UNSC was now at war with a xenocidal alien hegemony: the Covenant had killed two million civilians by glassing Green Hills and a number of other colonies.[1]

Spartan John-117 fought alongside an unidentified ODST on Green Hills. The two were briefly reunited in 2557 during the First Battle of Requiem, the former Marine having since become a SPARTAN-IV.[2]

List of appearances

Note

  1. ^ 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'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.
