The Flood outbreak at Site 22 was a small-scale outbreak of the Flood parasite that occurred in 2556. The outbreak began after the chance discovery of a Forerunner starship buried inside an asteroid at a location codenamed "Site 22," resulting in the infection of numerous civilian personnel and eventually a number of United Nations Space Command military personnel deployed to combat the outbreak. To date, the outbreak remains the only known instance in which a Spartan supersoldier has been infected by the Flood, resulting in the declaration of the CORRUPTER and UPSILON cryptonyms and the total destruction of Site 22 via the nuclear weapons fired from UNSC Saturn, a Paris-class heavy frigate overseeing the operation.[1]
Background
In 2555, the human homeworld Earth was attacked by a fleet of Forerunner Retriever Sentinels, resulting in the widescale destruction of much of the UNSC Home Fleet - which had already itself been battered in fighting against the Covenant during the Battle for Earth in 2552. As a result, systems such as the Marcey system were critical hubs for mining and supplying many of the raw resources needed to reconstruct the fleet to fighting condition. Operations in the system were conducted in a joint partnership between the Imbrium Machine Complex (IMC) and BXR Mining Corporation, based out of the township of Elvie on the asteroid LV-31.[1]
In 2556, a BXR survey operation resulted in the detection of a large Grade-K deposit at Site 22, resulting in the belief that the site harboured Forerunner technologies. The company deployed a number of EM-120 augers too investigate, which soon broke through the outer shell of the asteroid and exposed the Forerunner alloys - confirming the find and arousing the suspicion that the site may be a whole Forerunner spacecraft. Three days following the initial survey, a team of IMC hazmat corps personnel were deployed to the site to investigate directly, utilising a Pelican dropship.[1]
