Events
Throughout Infection, different battles, situations, and campaigns occur on the Human colony of New Harmony. As such, each contributor is responsible for being familiar with the timeline set forth in the timeline provided by the teaser communique Halo Reach: Infection. A summarized and more what-to-do oriented one is provided below:


 * 1) Outbreak — The unintentional release of Seoulnum virus-infected test subjects from the Andromeda Military Science Institute on October 20th, 2550.
 * 2) Response — Governor General Kinberg puts the New Harmony Land Forces Command on high-alert, and sends an evacuation notice informing the populace of a "Covenant invasion" on October 22nd. Local Naval and Marine forces quickly arrive on scene. New Harmony forces react to small infestations and are able to contain them.
 * 3) Infection — On October 25th, over half of the population of New Harmony has been infected with the Seoulnum virus despite initial estimations on the growth of the infestation. The Rapid Reaction Fleet's main body arrives to the planet and is ordered to seize and/or destroy any civilian evacuation vessel containing a possible Seoulnum threat.
 * 4) Saturation Bombing — The majority of New Harmony has been infested by the Seoulnum virus, Vice Admiral Pinto is ordered by UEG Chancellor Beland to release weapons of mass destruction over the colony on October 27th. All major cities and holdouts are devastated by the attacks.
 * 5) Containment — The main threat presented by the infected is now eliminated, and large amounts of UNSC Special Forces and New Harmony soldiers are sent back down to the surface to destroy any remaining holdouts and to rescue stranded civilians on October 31st and November 1st.
