A purification attack is carried out by ships firing massive energy beams to sterilize planetary surfaces. Carriers are equipped for this purpose, and can project energy from their bows. Motherships, and possibly other large ships such as void rays may also be used to purify planets. Glassing may disperse most of a planet's atmosphere, and release magma onto the surface by burning through the crust. Minerals on glassed worlds acquire unique properties.

A Minor Prophet is assigned to most Covenant fleets to oversee the destruction of a human world; before the fleet is permitted to destroy a planet, the Prophet performs a religious ritual. This process lasts an hour, and when completed, the Prophet declares by which religious significance, marked by a glyph, will the world be destroyed. There is currently only one known instance of a human world having a glyph burned into its surface. The Covenant will then begin glassing the planet by moving their large warships close and blanketing the world with a series of crisscrossing orbits to ensure that every square millimeter of the surface is destroyed. Throughout the war, the Covenant have been known to utilize two methods of glassing.
