Unggoy Rebellion: Difference between revisions

Line 24:

In an effort to exact revenge, some of the Kig-yar poisoned the Unggoy [[infusion]] resources, recreational narcotics used in the Unggoy's portable methane supplies. This made the contaminated males sterile, escalating the conflict between the two species. After the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophets]] failed to respond to this, due to the [[Ministry of Concert]] rejecting [[Junior staffer]] [[Prophet of Truth|Ord Casto]]'s request to investigate the matter further, it escalated into a short but aggressive conflict, forcing the [[High Council]] to instate an [[Arbiter]]. The conflict ended only when the Unggoy homeworld, [[Balaho]], was almost [[Glassing|glassed]] by a [[Covenant fleet]].

The war showed that, when motivated, the Unggoy could be vicious, determined and competent fighters, especially in close-quarters combat. Despite the lack of individual skill, the fact of the matter was that the Unggoy had the tenacity and numbers to hurl themselves and take down the Elites (even killing an Arbiter) ; were it not for the Covenant threatening to glass Balaho the Grunts would have most likely stood a viable chance as ~~the~~ sheer numbers would just overwhelm the other Covenant forces. Following their warrior tradition, and despite concerns from the Prophets, the [[Sangheili]] who had defeated the uprising forgave the surviving Unggoy fighters, trained them, gave them better equipment, and allowed them access to weapons, which the Unggoy had previously been forbidden from using. The Sangheili also integrated the Unggoy into formerly Sangheili-only units, elevating them from unarmed cannon fodder to true infantry forces. However, the war kept the Unggoy in a lowly position within the Covenant.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'''</ref><ref name ="Encyclopedia"/>
