Black market: Difference between revisions

The '''black market''' refers to illegal trade outside the official economy. Both [[Human|humans]] and [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] are known to engage in black market activities.

Black market bazaars are locations where illegal products can be handled on the black market by either pirates or [[Insurrectionist]]s, although the fact that Insurrectionists attend these bazaars is not certain. A black market bazaar was spotted in November of [[2525]] near the [[Roosevelt Military Base]], which was taken down by [[Blue Team]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 103''</ref> During the [[Human-Covenant War]], [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] weaponry modified for human uses was sold on the black market.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 99''</ref>

Among the Covenant, the [[Kig-yar]] are known to sell goods on the black market, including [[Forerunner]] relics, outside the [[Ministry of Tranquility]]'s authority.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 94''</ref>
