After [[2558#October|October 28, 2558]], the Unggoy on [[Balaho]] allied themselves with [[Cortana]] and the [[Created]], and they were granted with nearly limitless resources: ships loaded with advanced technology arrived, new agricultural support stations appeared in orbit, awaiting eager workers to feed the desperate masses below. This gave the chaotic conditions of Balaho a semblance of stability and order, as well as a new purpose. With their pressing requirements – food, shelter, medicine – met, Balaho's finest designers and crafters set out to work tirelessly to build their future.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-driving-force '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Cannon Fodder: Driving Force'']</ref> | After [[2558#October|October 28, 2558]], the Unggoy on [[Balaho]] allied themselves with [[Cortana]] and the [[Created]], and they were granted with nearly limitless resources: ships loaded with advanced technology arrived, new agricultural support stations appeared in orbit, awaiting eager workers to feed the desperate masses below.

Since their natural environment has a methane atmosphere, Unggoy require [[methane tank]]s and breathing apparatus with them whenever they travel into areas without high levels of methane in the air.
