The Flood, much like the Banished, did not make an appearance in season 1 of D of D. But they still exist in the Universe.
Human Archeological searches have unveiled remains of long extinct species on remote planets, and with the discovery of the parasite's existance somewhere in the outer rim of the Empire, some of these extinction events are thought to have occurred because of it. Eventually, the Flood must have consumed all of the biomass, and died of starvation, because mutated remains of corpses have been uncovered on some of those planets.
No one knows how the parasite came to be, but that's not what the United Nargo Government (UNG) worries about most...
For now, planets infected in the Outer Rim, are heavily quarantined, with Naval Blockades surrounding the planets, and preparing for the most drastic measures: OPC Bombardement (Orbital Planetary Core Bombardement) which is basically using a Crust Peircing round ( a CP round) to blow up the planet from inside (only by a democratic vote of the UNG senate can this measure be authorised). Only Human Super-Carriers such as the UNSC Heaven's Messenger II, carry such rounds.
The Flood cam destroy galactic empires, so it cannot be allowed to take root.
