WINTER CONTINGENCY is an official United Nations Space Command emergency plan that deals with situations where Covenant forces have become aware of, or are present at, a UNSC colony.[2] It was enacted by the UNSC on March 10, 2526.
Classification
Events which may be classified as WINTER CONTINGENCY include:
- Intercepted Covenant communications that refer to a UNSC colony by name.
- Discovery of hard physical evidence of Covenant activity.
- Abandoned or discarded matériel.
- Residue and/or damage consistent with directed energy weapon usage.
- Detection of multiple in-system Slipspace rupture events.
- Engagement in combat with Covenant forces.
Priority
WINTER CONTINGENCY holds the highest precedence in the OPREP-Γ reporting structure. All other reporting terms such as GOOSE CHASE, SNAKE PIT, et al, while very important, are considered secondary to a WINTER CONTINGENCY report.
