==Biography==
Sandra Tillson was born on [[2506|May 14, 2506]], on [[Coral]].{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}} At some point of her life, Tillson studied and earned her doctorate in archaeology in the [[Pegasi Institute]]. She became one of only a handful of experts in the field of Xenoarchaeology, where she was then hired by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] to conduct research on a number of sites later deemed to be of [[Forerunner]] origin. When [[Installation 03]] was initially discovered, she was one of the first people to be introduced to the research team. This led her to be the one responsible for the discovery of the [[Composer]].{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}

During the [[Raid on Ivanoff Station]] in July 24, 2557, she assisted in evacuating the station, while [[John-117|Master Chief John-117]] cleared the station of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] attackers. Tillson volunteered to stay behind to detonate the [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon|HAVOK nukes]] the Chief and Cortana planned to destroy the Composer with. However, she was killed when the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]] activated the Composer, digitizing her and everyone aboard Ivanoff Station save the Master Chief.{{Ref/Reuse|Composer}}
