      After the Covenant invasion of Vega Prime was repulsed in
2578, the UNSC and Covenant Liberation Forces continued their
push into the worlds controlled by the Prophets. By 2600,
hundreds of worlds had fallen to either civilian rebellions or
the UNSC and CLF combined forces. In order to quell the
rebellions be started left and right, the Prophets ordered any
rebelling planet to be glassed. This, however, only further
inflamed the trillions of people under control of the Prophets,
forcing them to abandon this idea.        By that time, Covenant
Templar caste morale had sunk to its lowest point ever. Nearly
all of them knew they were fighting and dying on a false jihad,
and few had much loyalty left to the Prophets, but they all
feared what would happen if the were captured.
