| Lifeworkers also employed a type of [[Huragok]] specializing in organisms and medicine rather than machinery.<ref>'''[[Halo: Hunters in the Dark]]'''</ref> As part of their effort to preserve and foster life across the galaxy, Lifeworkers also made use of dedicated [[terraforming]] [[Lifeworker terraforming vessel|vessel]]s with the ability to bring life to dead worlds.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFEchoes|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-echoes-with-dinh|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Echoes With-Dinh|D=24|M=10|Y=2023}} They also maintained Lifeworker-specific facilities, such as the Lifeworker stations on [[Installation 07]]. Following the initiation of the [[Zeta Halo project]] in [[2555]], the [[UNSC]] would discover some of these facilities, losing contact with several researcher teams and search parties within the stations, presumably due to advanced [[dazzler]] and [[baffler]] technologies.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFBloodMoon|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-fly-me-to-the-blood-moon|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Fly Me to the Blood-Moon|D=12|M=1|Y=2024}} | |
