User:Yuhi33/UNSC WMD Department

The UNSC Weapons of Mass Destruction Department or UNSC WMD Dept. is a branch of the UNSC HIGHCOM, that is in charge of production and control of Weapons of Mass Destruction, or WMD's. The branch is in association with the UNSC Security Committee, and UNSC Logistical Corps for deployment of WMD's, should they ever have to be used in combat. Such weapons they produce are,Nuclear,Biological,Chemical,Radiological,Incendiary,and EMP. They are funded by the Colonial Administration Authority.

Introduction
When the UNSC formed in 2163, the United Nations had stockpiled WMD's during The Interplanetary War. With a large stockpile of nuclear weapons, the UNSC decided that a branch of HIGHCOM should be placed in charge of handling the WMD's. The UNSC had originally placed the department to properly dispose of the weapons, because of their danger of being released. However at the same time, WMD's were rapidly being stockpiled, from left over war funds. As a result, most of the weapons had to be placed in subterranean storage bunkers, until further plans were made for them. By 2300, when colonization of other planets began, the weapons had been temporarily given to the Department of Commercial Shipping, who took the weapons to various UNSC bases on other colonies. The department then sorted out the weapons, and re-stockpiled various WMD's to use as a deterrence against the United Rebel Front.

Production
At the time of the Interplanetary War, the UNSC had plenty of FENRIS Nuclear Warheads, and other experimental nukes being stockpiled to possibly use against the Frieden, and Koslovics. As well as nukes, biological agents were being tested at various facilities owned by the UNSC Medical Corps, and being tested on various volunteer subjects. Despite the Biological and Chemical Weapon Conventions, the UNSC had recieved numerous nuclear threats from the Koslovics, and as such, mass-produced WMD's. After the war, the stockpiles were given to the WMD Dept. who placed most bioweapons in cryogenic storage, and chemical weapons at bunkers, at classified locations. For the most part, production was done by different UNSC organizations to produce WMD's. Bioweapons were produced by the UNSC Medical Corps, while Chemical and Nuclear were produced by the CAA. Nukes and chemical weapons were produced at factories and evaluated at laboratories. By 2400, the UNSC had over 25,000 WMD's.

Research
In the late 2300's, research was being done for EMP weapons. Such weapons were being theorized as large scale and could affect an entire planet, depending on the weapon type. By 2399, the first EMP ICBM was mass-produced, as a way of countering the rebels.

UNSC Medical Corps
The UNSC Medical Corps has a very important association with the UNSC WMD Dept. They are funded for researching,developing, and testing biological weaponry. It was thanks to their research, that viral agents could be placed on ICBM's and could always have an aerosol.

Colonial Administration Authority
The CAA had responsibility of making nuclear,chemical,EMP, and incendiary weapons. Most of the weapons were produced at factories and laboratories, and later assembled at bases.

UNSC Test and Evaluation Corps
The UNSC Test and Evaluation Corps was assigned to check and evaluate WMD's. They also made tests and calculations to see how a WMD would be deployed in combat.

Early Production
In 2300, when WMD's were being shipped to other colonies, the UNSC WMD Dept. quickly organized the stockpiles and placed them at various locations owned by the dept. With the threat of piracy and rebels, the WMD Dept. saw no reason to quite research on different large weaponry. Mass-production was temporarily halted, but research on different weapons continued. The EMP Cannon, was then created in 2400, and later, EMP ICBM's.

Stockpiling
By 2500, with the URF making threats with stolen nukes, and low morale in the UNSC Marine Corps, the UNSC WMD Dept. once again, mass-produced various WMD's for tactical use. Because the rebels were only a small threat, mass-production on bioweapons, and nuclear weapons were considered, unnesessary. However, incendiary and EMP weapons were more valuable and stockpiled.

Bigger Threat
With the outbreak of the Human-Covenant War in 2525, nuclear weapons and chemical weapons were once again, being stockpiled. Biological weapons were no longer of any value, due to the fact that all viruses were from Earth, and had no effect on any Covenant species. Some missiles were being made that could travel an extremely large distance from a ship against Covenant ships. During the war, The UNSC WMD Dept. finally used WMD's in 2530 against Covenant armies using chemical and incendiary weapons. Radiological weapons also proved effective against Elites and Jackals. EMP weapons could cause plasma meltdowns in Covenant ships and buildings.

End of Production
By 2553, the Human-Covenant War was over. Within months, mass-production was halted, and eventually permanently stopped. The WMD's were placed in storage, and in 2567, was properly disposed. Nuclear weapons were scrapped, chemical weapons were incinerated, and bioweapons were placed in cryogenic storage forever. Most of the radiological weapons took years to properly dispose, and even clean-up. The UNSC WMD Dept. then took care of organizing other weapons, such as guns.

Weapons
The UNSC WMD Dept. produced many different weapons. Most of them were only tested, and never actually used, despite being stockpiled.
