The '''Siege of Paris IV''' was a major engagement of the [[Human-Covenant War]] between the [[United Nations Space Command]] and the [[Covenant]] on the [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] of [[Paris IV]], taking place in [[2549]]. | The '''Siege of Paris IV '''was a major engagement of the [[Human-Covenant War]] between the [[United Nations Space Command]] and the [[Covenant]] on the [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] of [[Paris IV]], taking place in [[2549]].<ref name="enc37"/><ref name="FS"/> | ||

According to his [[CSV]], [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]] captured a crate of [[Covenant]] [[plasma grenades]] during the battle, from which he absorbed a 1,200-rad cumulative dose of radiation. This exposure caused Johnson to contract [[Boren's Syndrome]]. The staff sergeant later received a commendation for bravery during the battle. | According to his [[CSV]], [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]] captured and used a crate of [[Covenant]] [[plasma grenades]] during the battle, from which he absorbed a 1,200-rad cumulative dose of radiation.

In reality, Johnson did not actually contract Boren's Syndrome during the battle. The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] fabricated the radiation story as part of a cover-up (known as the "Paris/BS Spoof") in order to hide Johnson's involvement in the top-secret [[ORION Project]].<ref>''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', [[Halo Graphic Novel, Page 122|page 122]]</ref> [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] would later mistake the falsified report of Johnson's service on Paris IV as factual, reasoning that he had acquired an immunity to the [[Flood]] due to his Boren's Syndrome.<ref name="FS"/> | |||
The planet was ultimately [[Glassing|glassed]] by the Covenant, resulting in heavy [[civilian]] casualties for the UNSC. [[Molly Patel]] was one of the few to escape the siege.<ref name="loo"/> | |||
