History

Human-Covenant War

During the war against the Covenant, the Watershed Division manufactured over 2,000 units of the Semi-Powered Infiltration armor, issued to the Spartan-III supersoldiers, with Ruk Ariaustin acting as the armor's design lead.[2] Starting since 2551, the Watershed Division began to manufacture the M11 combat knife for Spartan use.[3]

Post-War era

Watershed Division would provide state-of-the-art laboratories and research facilities in conjunction with ONI for the UNSC Infinity.[4]

The Watershed Division was responsible for the manufacturing of the Prefect armor variant. The Prefect variant was the product of research on Trevelyan from the discovery of a native armor system, utilized by Forerunner Prefects late into their civilization's history. The Watershed Division used local Huragok to reverse-engineer the original designs, grafting the abandoned armor system into baseline MJOLNIR standards for SPARTAN-IV use.[5] It was tested at Denegroth, West Conamara on Europa.[6]

In 2556, Watershed Division was placed under "Active Investigation" by ONI after the February 7 terrorist attack.[7] Following the Mission to Installation 03, John-117's Mark VI MOD armor received an upgrade from the Watershed Division that brought it into the GEN2 line.[8]
