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