'''Bandersnatch''' is a [[United Nations Space Command]] emergency code to be declared following a radiological- or energy-based disaster.<ref name="onyx">''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', Chapter 21</ref>


==Usage==
'''Bandersnatch''' was a [[UNSC]] emergency code. Used right after combat operations or disasters have taken place, the code represents a radiological- or energy-based disaster.<ref name="isle">[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], page 183: ''"Bandersnatch" was the code used for radiological- or energy-based disaster. Dr. Halsey had heard this used before from planetary bombardment by Covenant plasma and during the UNSC nuking of the Far Isle Colony to put down the rebellion of 2492.''</ref>
The emergency code has been used in the following cases:
 
*In [[2492]], Bandersnatch was declared following the nuclear bombing by UNSC forces to destroy the rebellion on [[Far Isle]].{{Ref/Reuse|onyx}}
This code has been used many times, most often when a UNSC colony world has been [[glassed]] by [[Covenant]] forces. It was also used during the destruction of the [[Far Isle]] colony due to massive rebellion,<ref name="isle"/> and during the [[First Battle of Earth]], after a Covenant [[Assault Carrier]] entered [[Slipspace]] in [[Earth]]'s lower orbit and destroyed the city of [[New Mombasa]].{{fact}}
*During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the code was used when a [[Human colonies|human colony]] was being [[glassing|glassed]] by [[Covenant]] naval forces.{{Ref/Reuse|onyx}}
*On [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]]; [[Cortana]] declared Bandersnatch, in addition to code [[Hydra (code)|Hydra]], due to the attempted activation of [[Installation 05]], and the [[Flood]] infection which had consumed significant portions of the ring and the Covenant holy city, ''[[High Charity]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|onyx}}
