SUMMARY
The planet Harvest was humanity’s breadbasket by the 2500s, even though it was the furthest colony from Earth. When humans finally made contact with the Covenant in 2525 on Harvest, they had few defenses, and hoped to make friends with the aliens. The Covenant, however, only sought the destruction of all of humanity, and proceeded to completely destroy the colony, killing the majority of the planet's population.
Operation: TREBUCHET was a twelve-year UNSC operation to quell growing unrest and insurrectionist activities in the outer colonies from 2513 until the start of the Human-Covenant War in 2525.
The First Battle of Harvest was humanity's first contact with the Covenant on the planet Harvest in the Epsilon Indi system and the subsequent destruction of the entire colony.
