| ==Overview==
| | '''Incendiary gel''' is a form [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ammunition utilized mainly by [[Jiralhanae]]<ref name="bnet">[http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fourthgrenade '''Bungie.net''': ''Incendiary Grenade'']</ref> and [[Mgalekgolo]].<ref name="hch">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 267''</ref> |
| Incendiary gel is a radioactive composite created by the Covenant from the energetic meta-materials and strained-bond lattices present in the [[infusion matter]] developed by the [[Forerunners]], and present throughout their installations. The Covenant's incendiary gel is considered an inferior copy of the Forerunners' own perfected forms, though is widely employed across many different weapon systems.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=298-299}}{{Ref/Site|Id=II|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/infusion-invasion|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Community Update - Infusion Invasion|D=30|M=10|Y=2021}} The manufacture of incendiary gel requires Forerunner machinery and [[Huragok]] technicians, making its creation a highly-sought capability. This process has been the subject of [[Misriah Armory]] and [[Materials Group]] research for nearly thirty years, though the cost and safety issues of the process mean that the [[United Nations Space Command]] generally prefer to source their fuel rods from the [[Merchants of Qikost]].{{Ref/Site|Id=universe|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/fuel-rod-cannon|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Fuel Rod Cannon|D=27|M=11|Y=2015}} | |

| The adhesive forms of incendiary gel found in Covenant firebombs are considered stable, yet hazardous nonetheless, and contain [[Wikipedia:Caesium|caesium]].{{Ref/Book|EVG|Page=68}} In this application, incendiary gel burns at approximately 2200<sup>o</sup>C, and will not burn underwater.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}

| ==Usage==
| | Incendiary gel is used in [[Type-3 Antipersonnel/Antimatériel Incendiary grenade|Type-3 incendiary grenade]]s manufactured by the [[Sacred Promissory]], and in the [[assault cannon]]s of Mgalekgolo, where it can be fired in mortar-like green projectiles or in a searing stream of fire.<ref name="hch"/> |
| Incendiary gel is utilised in a wide array of applications across the [[Covenant military]], though perhaps the most famous is that used in the [[assault cannon]]s wielded by the [[Mgalekgolo]].{{Ref/Reuse|CH16}} Some assault cannons fire their incendiary gel in individual bolts or magnetically-guided streams of gas.{{Ref/Reuse|CH16}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Incendiary gel is also used as the filler in Covenant explosive ordnance, including the [[fuel rod]]s fired by various [[fuel rod gun]]s and [[fuel rod cannon]]s, and as the primary filler inside the [[Orgudam Workshop Firebomb]] employed predominantly by [[Jiralhanae]] forces.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=306}}{{Ref/Site|Id=bnet|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fourthgrenade|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Incendiary Grenade|D=31|M=01|Y=2021}} | |

| Infusion gel, the original material that incendiary gel was derived from, is widely employed by the Brute forces of the [[Banished]] - most notably the [[Clan of the Long Shields]] under [[Voridus]].
