Dr. Catherine Halsey's research at the Babd Catha Forerunner complex allowed her to direct the UNSC Pillar of Autumn to Installation 04.[1]
Xenoarchaeology is a form of archaeology concerned with the physical remains of past (but not necessarily extinct) alien cultures. The UNSC is known to have practiced Xenoarchaeology on various worlds occupied by the Forerunners in the past, such as Onyx and Reach. Many of these sites were classified top-secret by the Office of Naval Intelligence. Known practitioners of xenoarchaeology include Dr. William Arthur Iqbal, Esko Korpijaakko and Laszlo Sorvad. After the Human-Covenant War, many researchers in the universities of Edinburgh and Calcutta were hired by the ONI to investigate Forerunner relics.[2]
