The X23 NNEMP was developed by the [[Materials Group]] in the early stages of the [[Insurrection]] in the 25th century, designed to detonate weapons of mass destruction prior to detonation. This marked the first truly precise application of EMP technology, despite it having existed in some form since the 21st century.{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG|EVG|Page=83}} Following the outbreak of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the X23 was leveraged to counter [[Covenant]] power [[generator]]s and other important relaying stations during protracted battles.
