Kholo's defenses were considered weak by the Covenant, and the scout ships were able to inflict considerable damage before the main fleet even arrived. The Shipmaster was accompanied by the [[Prophet of Conviction]], a San 'Shyuum sent with him to complete a particular holy task. After removing the final layers of human resistance, the Shipmaster was given the command to glass the world, albeit in a special manner. Manually controlling the cleansing beam, he [[glassing|fired upon the planet's surface]], etching a Covenant symbol into its crust, the symbol meaning the word, "Faith". The Shipmaster was subsequently deemed worthy of being bound to the Prophet, and the world was partially glassed by the rest of the fleet. | Kholo's defenses were considered weak by the Covenant, and the scout ships were able to inflict considerable damage before the main fleet even arrived.
