A '''bioweapon''', or '''biological agent''', is a weaponized pathogen intended to cause disease in lifeforms. Biological weapons can be used in warfare or in [[terrorism|terrorist acts]] to decimate large populations without having to engage in direct combat or destroy infrastructures.
A '''bioweapon''', or '''biological agent''', is a weaponized pathogen intended to cause disease in lifeforms. Biological weapons can be used in warfare or in [[terrorism|terrorist acts]] to decimate large populations without having to engage in direct combat or destroy infrastructures. The [[United Nations Space Command]] general emergency code [[Hydra (code)|Hydra]] signifies imminent threat from biological weapons of mass destruction.<ref name="onyx">'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 183''</ref> The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] had a bioweapons team.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Thursday War]]''', ''page 387''</ref>

==History==
After establishing a research facility on [[Trevelyan]], the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] began to experiment on genetically modifying the Sangheili grain known as [[irukan]], with the goal of creating a bioweapon to be unleashed against the Sangheili as a backup plan in the event ONI's [[Kilo-Five|strategy to destabilize them]] failed.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''pages 138, 205''</ref>
After establishing a research facility on [[Trevelyan]] in [[2553|March 2553]], the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s bioweapons team began to experiment on genetically modifying the proteins and saccharides in the [[colo]] and the Sangheili grain known as [[irukan]], with the goal of creating a bioweapon to be unleashed against the Sangheili as a backup plan in the event ONI's [[Kilo-Five|strategy to destabilize them]] failed.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''pages 62, 138, 205''</ref>


After the [[Human-Covenant war]], a group of Kig-Yar occupied a Covenant research laboratory on the planet [[Ven III]]. They were killed by a biological agent in early May [[2558]]. A lone Sangheili survived and fled the laboratory carrying the bioweapon in a containment cylinder. The [[UNSC]] was alerted and tasked the ''[[UNSC Infinity]]'' with investigating the Covenant bioweapon.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 11|Issue #11]]''</ref>

At some point, a city on the planet [[Sedra]] was attacked by Sangheili terrorists and it was discovered that they were trying to use a biological weapon that only affected humans. [[Locke's team|An Office of Naval Intelligence unit]] was forced to work together with the [[Sedran Colonial Guard]] to track down the origin of the bioweapon.<ref>'''Halo: Nightfall'''</ref>
