Lore Thursday — Site 22
In 2556, the UNSC Saturn responded to a Flood outbreak on an asteroid in the Marcey system. A crashed Forerunner ship had been discovered by IMC and BXR mining crews, and upon entering the vessel, the parasite revealed itself.
Captain Alvarez of the UNSC Saturn deployed Fireteam Leviathan to the site, refusing to lose the Forerunner vessel. However, when the Spartans were overrun and infected, CORRUPTER protocols were enacted and the site was destroyed with nuclear weapons.

Lore Thursday — Fuel rod cannon
The vehicle-mounted fuel rod cannon fires Class-3 fuel rods that can track heat signatures, which is a characteristic not displayed by the Class-2 counterparts typically loaded in the infantry-portable fuel rod gun.
Several variants exist within the fuel rod cannon classification and they are mounted on a variety of vehicles. Banshees employ a single forward-firing, semi-automatic cannon, while the anti-aircraft Wraith employs triple-rack rapid-fire cannons that fire a barrage of fuel rods.

Resembling the Pnap-pattern Goblin, BOGGART armor is the result of the Venezian Goblinstrike effort that used Created technology stolen from the Unggoy homeworld Balaho. It was also the first result that didn't cause unnecessary fatalities from design defects.
