{{Status|Canon}} | |||
'''Project: OUROBOROS''' is an ever-evolving plan created by the [[Unified Earth Government]] for the continuance of [[human]] civilization. | |||
==Overview== | |||
OUROBOROS involved several pillars, one of which was the research and development that resulted in the construction of {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. Conceived of as a hedge against extinction, ''Infinity'' was originally intended to be a mobile colony to carry survivors to distant stars in the event of social collapse triggered by the ongoing [[Insurrection]], the [[Human-Covenant War|threat]] of the [[Covenant]], or other catastrophe. The sensitive nature of these plans and their potential impact on [[United Nations Space Command]] morale meant ''Infinity'' was built in strict secrecy. Many of those who supported the plan to use ''Infinity'' as a last resort lifeboat were unaware when the ship eventually was repurposed for a military role in the [[UNSC Navy]].{{Ref/Book|Id=wf infinity|HWF|Page=42-43}} | |||
== | ==Trivia== | ||
The [[Wikipedia:ouroboros|Ouroboros]] is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. It represents the infinite cycle of nature's endless creation and destruction as well as life and death. | |||
