After establishing a research facility on [[Trevelyan]] in [[2553|March 2553]], the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s bioweapons team began to experiment on genetically modifying the proteins and saccharides in the [[colo]] and the Sangheili grain known as [[irukan]], with the goal of creating a bioweapon to be unleashed against the Sangheili as a backup plan in the event ONI's [[Kilo-Five|strategy to destabilize them]] failed.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''pages 62, 138, 205''</ref>

On [[2556|February 7, 2556]], [[Sedra City]] on the planet [[Sedra]] was attacked by a Sangheili terrorist using a biological weapon that only affected humans. [[Locke's team|An Office of Naval Intelligence unit]] was forced to work together with the [[Sedran Colonial Guard]] to track down the origin of the element used to manufacture the bioweapon.<ref>'''Halo: Nightfall'''</ref>


In [[2557]], ONI personnel aboard the research and development station ''[[Argent Moon]]'' created and experimented with an unsanctioned biological weapon known as [[Asteroidea]]. An accident caused a particularly aggressive form of the compound to vaporize and disperse within the station, killing all personnel aboard, and forcing its [[AI]] [[Rooker]] to quarantine the ship and set it on a course away from populated systems.<ref name="Blue Team">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level, ''Blue Team'' - [[Mission Intel]]</ref>

After the [[Human-Covenant War]], a group of [[Kig-Yar]] occupied a Covenant research laboratory on the planet [[Ven III]]. They were killed by a biological agent in early May [[2558]]. A lone Sangheili survived and fled the laboratory carrying the bioweapon in a containment cylinder. The [[UNSC]] was alerted and tasked the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} with investigating the Covenant bioweapon.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 11|Issue #11]]''</ref>
