The facility under attack.
Weapons Research Facility T12A was a Office of Naval Intelligence Materials Group research and development facility located on Algolis.[1][2] In 2513, the HRUNTING Mark III (B) powered exoskeleton was developed by the facility's HRUNTING research team.[1] Decades later,[1] the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I powered exoskeleton was developed by the HRUNTING team, in conjunction with the YGGDRASIL program.[2]
At some during the Human-Covenant War, during or after 2548,[3] a Marine nicknamed "Ghost" used the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I exoskeleton housed inside the facility to fend off Covenant forces in a desperate last stand. After the surviving civilians and Marines evacuated the facility, Ghost initiated the self-destruct sequence of the exoskeleton's nuclear fission reactor to prevent the capture of the suit's technology. The resulting nuclear blast destroyed the facility along with all Covenant ground forces on the planet.[2]
