It may shock you, but Master Chief and Blue Team managed to kill MILLIONS of Covenant soldiers and 488 Covenant ships in mere hours, a single day. It was now September 13th 2552, which was about 2 weeks after Noble 6 had died, and Reach had fallen, yet was before the beginning of Halo 1.
This place was a refit, and repair station which at the time was being used to service the Covenant Invasion force upon Earth. If they could blow it up, that could buy humanity some time, but it was very likely that none of Blue Team would return.
It was clear that the Prophet of Truth found Earth’s Location, and kept it secret from the other prophets, and began assembling a fleet ran by the Brutes, also secret. So Vice Admiral Whitcomb and John 117 initiated Operation: FIRST STRIKE, with five Spartans including Fred, Linda, William, Grace, and of course Chief, tagging along was also a cloned split version of Cortana. They group infiltrated Covenant station by arriving in the large hanger with a Covenant Spirit Dropship, then snuck through the ventilation tunnels, and found the station’s reactor core, a nuclear fusion center that is a source of power for the Covenant, we can see one during Halo 2's movie cutscene opening.
On the station, the Spartans were then ambushed by Brute guards, and Master Chief fought up a Brute that almost killed him, but Chief killed him by throwing a grenade into his beltline. During the ambush, Spartan Grace was killed. Master Chief triggered Grace’s fail saFe detonation system killing the attackers within a 10 meter radius as her suit exploded into a white hot flash. The group would then fight their way through corridors until they would reach the generators, and Cortana’s copy set them to overload all 512 Fusion Reactors on all the Covenant ships.
The surviving group then disembarked the Ascendant Justice from the Gettysburg, and placed a hologram of a Forerunner crystal on the Covenant carrier, which had been found beneath CASTLE base on Reach a 2 weeks prior, and challenged the Covenant forces to board the ship, and take it. The ship flew towards the station drawing more Covenant forces closer to the impending explosion on the fueling station, and it worked, however Vice Admiral Whitcomb and Lieutenant Haverson both sacrificed themselves.
Meanwhile, on the Unyielding Hierophant, the Spartans would get in Banshees and escape the explosion, and 5 minutes later the station would explode. With surrounding forces drawn close to the station, as well as most of the Covenant armada was in or by the station, the absurdly large explosion instantly destroyed 488 Covenant ships. Potentially millions of soldiers dead in a flash. The Spartans in their banshees flew back to the Gettysburg, and would depart to Earth with the modified Ascendant Justice’s slipspace drive.
