The '''[[Unggoy Rebellion]],''' also known as the '''Grunt Rebellion''', is an event in the history of the empire of the [[Covenant]]. It was started by the Infusion Incident when the growing [[Unggoy]] population put pressure on the [[Kig-Yar]] population with whom they shared their habitats. Apparently, the overwhelming Unggoy population forced many of the Kig-Yar to relocate, killing many of their eggs and forcing the Kig-Yar birth rate to decline. | The '''[[Unggoy Rebellion]],''' also known as the '''Grunt Rebellion''', is an event in the history of the empire of the [[Covenant]].

In an effort to exact revenge, some of the Kig-Yar poisoned the Unggoy infusion resources, recreational narcotics used in the Unggoy's portable methane supplies. This made the contaminated males sterile, escalating the conflict between the two species. After the [[Prophets]] failed to respond to this, due to the [[High Council]] rejecting the [[Minister of Fortitude]]'s request to investigate the matter further, it escalated into a short but aggressive conflict, forcing the High Council to create an [[Arbiter (Title)|Arbiter]]. The conflict ended only when the Unggoy homeworld [[Balaho]] was almost glassed by [[glassing|orbital bombardment]] by a [[Covenant Fleet]].

This war showed that, when motivated, the Unggoy were vicious, determined and competent fighters, especially in close-range. Following their warrior tradition, the Sangheili that had defeated the uprising forgave the surviving Unggoy fighters, trained and armed them with better equipment, and integrated them into formerly Sangheili-only units. The war however, kept the Unggoy to a lowly position in the Covenant.<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''</ref> | ||
