Bandersnatch

Bandersnatch was a UNSC emergency code indicating a radiological- or energy-based disaster.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, page 183: "Bandersnatch" was the code used for radiological- or energy-based disaster. Dr. Halsey had heard this used before from planetary bombardment by Covenant plasma and during the UNSC nuking of the Far Isle Colony to put down the rebellion of 2492.
The code has been used many times, most often when a UEG colony world has been glassed by Covenant forces. The code was also used during the destruction of the Far Isle colony due to massive rebellion, and during the Battle of Earth, after a Covenant Assault Carrier entered Slipspace in Earth's lower orbit and damaged the city of New Mombasa.
