- "WINTER CONTINGENCY has been declared. All units are mobilized and ready"
- — UNSC operator[1]
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 human colony world. It was first mentioned in the UNSCDF Instruction EM-277 on March 10, 2526.[2] On Reach, WINTER CONTINGENCY was supplemented by the WINTER CONTINGENCY Declaration Supplemental Orders, a series of additional directives for ONI agents.[3]
Classification
Events which may be classified as WINTER CONTINGENCY include:
- Tier 1 Evidence Intercepted Covenant communication of a plot on a certain named colony*
- Tier 2 Evidence Discovery of Physical covenant technology (weapons, veichles, etc.)*
- Tier 3 Evidence Abandoned or discarded matériel.*
- Tier 4 Evidence Residue and/or damage consistent with directed plasma weapon usage.
- Tier 5 Evidence Detection of in-system Slipspace rupture portals and/or EMP with Covenant Flagship, Corvette, Destroyer, Carrier, or Super Carrier involved.*
Tier 6 (Major) Evidence *Engagement in physical combat with Covenant forces.
Priority
- "As per the Winter Contingency, we are countering on every front."
- — Auntie Dot[4]
WINTER CONTINGENCY holds the highest precedence in the OPREP-Γ reporting structure. All other reporting terms such as GOOSE CHASE, SNAKE PIT, and others, while very important, are considered secondary to a WINTER CONTINGENCY report.
