The Suppressor was first introduced during the [[Kradal conflicts]]. It gained prominence during the [[human-Forerunner war]] and the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].{{Ref/Book|Id=H4EVG|H4EVG|Page=97}} The Suppressor is a fully automatic weapon employing a conventional coil set architecture that fires bolts of [[hard light]] in rapid succession. Its high rate of fire and efficiency against the [[Flood]] led to its widespread use among the Forerunner warriors during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], particularly when attempting to retake vessels captured by the Flood; however, it is similarly effective against all organic matter.{{Ref/Reuse|h4guide}} Thousands of years later, the Suppressor's coil set design was reverse-engineered by the [[Covenant]] for many of their weapons.{{Ref/Site|Id=universe|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/suppressor|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Suppressor|D=28|M=10|Y=2021}}

The weapon possesses an angular design and metallic casing. It appears to be held together, at least partly, by energy fields as indicated by its self-assembly process. Orange highlights can be seen while the weapon is self-assembling and throughout the casing once assembly is complete; these highlights grow brighter when the weapon is fired.{{Ref/Reuse|hb927}} The Supressor was manufactured and developed by [[Ferrarius Assembler Vats]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=391}}

*'''[[Song of Peace]]''': In the chaotic final days of the Forerunner ecumene an unfortunate number of the [[Librarian]]'s [[Conservation Measure]] operations required military intervention to complete.
