'''Project: OUROBOROS''' was an ever-evolving plan by the [[Unified Earth Government]] for the continuance of [[human]] civilization during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. OUROBOROS involved several pillars, one of which was the research and development that resulted in the construction of the {{UNSCship|Infinity}}. Conceived of as a hedge against extinction, the ''Infinity'' was originally intended to be a mobile colony to carry survivors to distant stars in the event of social collapse triggered by the [[Insurrection]], [[Covenant]], or other catastrophe. The sensitive nature of these plans and their potential impact on [[United Nations Space Command]] morale meant the ''Infinity'' was built in strict secrecy. Many of those who did know about it and supported it were unaware when the ship eventually was repurposed for a military role.<ref name="wf infinity">'''[[Halo: Warfleet]]''', ''pages 42-43''</ref> | '''Project: OUROBOROS''' was an ever-evolving plan by the [[Unified Earth Government]] for the continuance of [[human]] civilization during the [[Human-Covenant War]].
