History
Ven III is a small, almost uninhabited planet characterized by a maze-like environment with numerous caves and tunnels. During the Human-Covenant War, the planet was used on and off by the Covenant as a staging area for large offensives. At the conclusion of the war, Ven III was left unclaimed. A research laboratory on the planet was soon occupied by Kig-Yar and the planet had seemingly become a hot spot for over a hundred thousand Kig-Yar smugglers, black market arm dealers, and slavers. However, the Kig-Yar inside the laboratory were killed by a biological agent, though a lone Sangheili survived.[1]
On May 8, 2558, a UNSC drone was scouting the surface of the planet when it discovered the deceased Kig-Yar. Admiral Serin Osman was alerted and tasked the UNSC Infinity with investigating the Covenant bioweapon research laboratory on Ven III. Warned to exercise extreme cation, Captain Thomas Lasky sent SPARTAN-IVs Naiya Ray and Gabriel Thorne to the planet. Deployed to Ven III by a prowler, the Spartans encountered several hostile Kig-Yar. Meanwhile, the lone Sangheili destroyed the UNSC drone on the planet. The Spartans soon find a Covenant structure, but they are attacked by the Sangheili and a contingent of Kig-Yar. During the skirmish, the Sangheili captured Thorne and escaped on a Type-32 Ghost. During her attempt to rescue Thorne, Spartan Ray discovered a massive Kig-Yar pirate stronghold deep below the surface of the planet. However, a Kig-Yar ambushed her and Ray's communications with Infinity ended.[1]
