Sedra: Difference between revisions

On [[2556#January|January 24, 2556]], border security at [[Checkpoint Rhoen]] was forced to enact eight seizures on incoming ships. One of these raids yielded highly refined fissile material. The pilot was arrested and the material was brought to a Sedran laboratory for testing. In response to the influx of passing attempts at the planetary borders, [[Laban Neir]] of Rhoen Border Security requested an increase in equipment and personnel. At some point, the UNSC was notified of the fissile discovery. On [[2556#February|February 3, 2556]], Checkpoint Rhoen was given management of planetary access in sectors four, five, and seven after two [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] [[D79-TC Pelican]]s were sent to Sedra. The Pelicans carried an ONI [[Locke's team|unit]] led by [[Jameson Locke]], with orders to investigate the discovery of fissile material and prevent any possible [[terrorism|terrorist]] attacks. The team refused formal screening, claiming executive autonomy, and demanded to view the colony's sensor manifest.<ref name="bordersecurity">'''Halo: Nightfall''', ''[[Halo: Nightfall: Rhoen Border Security|Rhoen Border Security]]''</ref> Upon arrival, the ONI unit also asked for twenty-five percent of Colonial Guard assets to aid them in their operations.<ref name="quartermaster">'''Halo: Nightfall''', ''[[Halo: Nightfall: Quartermaster|Quartermaster]]''</ref>

On [[2556#February|February 7, 2556]], the ONI unit was patrolling near [[Morning Lake]] when they discovered [[Yonhet]] smuggler [[Axl]] handing over a [[bioweapon]] to [[Unidentified Sangheili Zealot (Sedra)|an unidentified]] [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealot]]. The unit gave chase and arrested Axl, while Locke pursued the Sangheili into a mall in [[Sedra City]]. Despite Locke's attempt to stop the Zealot, the Sangheili managed to activate the bioweapon, killing himself in the process. The bioweapon detonated throughout Sedra City and beyond. Initially, the bioweapon appeared to be harmless. However, soon many civilians began to show signs of infection,<ref name="nf1">'''Halo: Nightfall''', ''Chapter 1''</ref> with symptoms similar to [[Wikipedia:Guillain–Barré syndrome|Guillain–Barré syndrome]]. [[Sedra Emergency Response]] began mass evacuation to containment zones and local hospitals, while panic spread throughout the colony.<ref name="compliance">'''Halo: Nightfall''', ''[[Halo: Nightfall: ONI: Compliance|ONI: Compliance]]''</ref> Meanwhile, the uninfected members of the ONI unit and Sedran Colonial Guard personnel began to investigate the attack. The ONI agents predicted that Sedra was chosen for the terrorist attack due to the planet's mixed population and poor border security, and that the attack was a trial test of the bioweapon's potency. The origin of the bioweapon was soon tracked down to [[Alpha Shard|a shard]] of [[Installation 04]] that attempted to escape the ring's [[Battle of Installation 04|destruction]] at the hands of [[John-117]] years prior. In order to prevent terrorists from creating another bioweapon, the ONI operatives and several members of the Sedran Colonial Guard were forced to work together.<ref name="nf1"/><ref name="youtube">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaZOLp6pYCE '''YouTube''': ''Halo: Nightfall Panel - SDCC 2014'']</ref> The group departed for the Halo fragment to destroy the deposits,<ref name="nf1"/> and were ultimately successfully, albeit with the loss of the majority of the team.<ref>'''Halo: Nightfall''', ''Chapter 5''</ref>
