In an effort to exact revenge, Kig-Yar [[shipmaster]]s poisoned the Unggoy [[infusion]] supplies on Kig-Yar-operated vessels and in the lower districts of ''High Charity'', which led to the sterilization of contaminated males. When the [[High Council]] and [[Ministry of Concert]]—not wanting to upset the Kig-Yar—did not act on the matter, the Unggoy [[Unggoy Rebellion|rebelled]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''pages 150-152''</ref> Unggoy uprisings occurred throughout the lower districts, with the Unggoy not only attacking the Kig-Yar, but all other species. Their sheer amount and tenacity revealed the Unggoy to be very dangerous, even to [[Sangheili]].
