The Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command Purpose: Military Government Leader: Director Preston J. Vernette Role: Intelligence, Security, Defense Executives: Captain Rodney Hayes State Religion: Multicultural / Various Ruling Body: HIGHCOM Technology Tier: Tier 3 Capital: J-2-Alpha Species: Human Power Base: Multiple planets and shipyards Client Species: None Intel Branch: Office of Naval Intelligence Currency: The UN Credit (cR) Preceeded By: UNSC Language: English Succeeded By: Reformed UEG Current Status: Active between 2553 and 2555. The Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command The Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command (ONI CC), commonly misnomered as just ONI, is the military government that controls all of humanities assets, as of 2553. After the Third Battle of Earth, in which most of the UNSC's chain of command was either utterly smashed or scattered, ONI was the strongest and most cohesive surviving entity, surviving largely in part due to an establish power base in the J-2-Alpha system. Having lost Earth at the time, the human race had nowhere to go. It was at this time that many thousands of humans were evacuated from Earth and moved to J-2-Alpha. This became the "New Earth" as ONI closely guarded the secret of J-2-Alpha, for the survival of the human race depended on it. The J-2-Alpha system serves as the operational base of ONI Central Command, where all decisions are made and fleet yards are kept. The misnomer of ONI was adopted by most soldiers as a sort of slang for ONI CC, to satire the notion that most of the senior brass comes from ONI. However, ONI CC is not to be confused with ONI. ONI CC is the overall organization, while ONI is a smaller part of a larger entity, though, a very important and instrumental part, as previously mentioned. ONI CC is technically classified as a Temporary Emergency Government, acting as a substitute power-base while the UNSC chain of command was rebuilt and reestablished.

During the Human-Covenant War, ONI served as simply the intelligence and espionage branch for the collective UNSC. After the collapse of the UNSC in mid 2553, top ONI brass, namely Director Preston Vernette, took control of what was left of the military in order to continue the fight against both The Elites and The Brutes. After ONI had taken control of all remaining military assets, it reformed the military and chain of command, taking careful consideration to keep an identical chain of command so as to simplify the transition, and formed The Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command (ONI CC). ONI CC is a temporary organization for ONI, intended to act on behalf of a defunct UNSC and UEG, and is not intended to be a permanent solution, but rather, a stop gap until the UNSC ranks can be filled, and the UEG can be reformed. Chain of Command The following is a breakdown of the ONI CC Chain of command, showing which departments fall under which chain of command. Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command Security Committee Security Council Defense Force High Command Administrative Personnel Command Unified Ground Command Colonial Military Administration Uniformed Services Navy Naval Command Fleet Command Office of Naval Intelligence Section 0 Class 0 Spartan II Program ONI Agents Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Spartan I Program Spartan II Program Spartan III Program Spartan IV Program Prowler Corps Signal Corps Logistical Operations Command Office of Investigations Naval Special Warfare Command Project ORION Spartan I Program Class 1 Spartan II Program Marine Corps Marine Infantry Marine Aviation Marine Logistics Marine Military Police Marine Chaplain Corps Marine Special Operations Orbital Drop Shock Troopers Army Army Infantry Army Military Police Peacekeepers Army Logistics Air Force Air Force Logistics Spartan Spartan Training and Administration Spartan R&D Spartan Logistics Commerce Department of Commercial Shipping Department of Trade and Finance Civilian Department of Civilian Contractors Department of Colonial Affiars Peacekeeper Corps Diplomatic Corps Section 0 Section 0 is the internal affairs division of ONI. It also serves as the primary source of all tactical espionage and military information for ONI. It maintains total secrecy from the general public, and very little is known about it, and what is known, is known by very few people. ONI Section 0 is considered to be a myth by many officers. All that is generally known is that the Director of Section 0 can supersede any decision made at any time. The Director of Section 0, is essentially, the most powerful position in ONI. The Director of Section 0 has permission to carry out any assignment under any premise as he or she sees fit. Missions carried out by Section 0 agents always have the authorization to use lethal force if necessary if the completion of a mission is in jeopardy. Missions undertaken by Section 0 agents and ships generally are of great importance where failure is otherwise unacceptable. Section 0 officers are given seniority in combat situations. Simply due to their affiliation, officers can supersede orders from another non Section 0 officer or soldier a whole rank above their own. Despite the importance of ONI Section 0, the other branches do not answer to Section 0. It is the general practice that Section 0 will reveal itself to high rank military officials in order to send information and instructions down the chain of command. It should be noted that Section 0 maintains control of all Spartan MJOLNIR equipment. It also ensures that anything Spartan related, including the armor and the research and development, do not fall into the hands of any single rouge organization. The first general order of Section 0 is the defense of all information pertaining to the military assets of the human race. Allowing military secrets to slip into public view is deemed incredibly unacceptable. While Section 3 runs the top secret projects division, Section 0 runs its own branch of R&D which is generally understood to be highly advanced, and far beyond anything Section 3 is capable of, such as the Spartan II (Class 0 and Class 2) Program, Project CLOAK AND DAGGER, which was active during the Human-Covenant War, and the R&D into shipboard active camouflage. There is no central base of operations for Section 0, but rather, multiple high security installations, such as Tempus Fugit, and The Citadel. Both of these locations do not officially exist outside of Section 0. Section 1 Section 1 is the main military branch of ONI. It is responsible for the training and armament of all ONI military equipment and personnel. All ONI marines and ODST fall under the command jurisdiction of Section 1. In more detail, Section 1 oversees the responsibility for the shipyards, ship production, personnel training, personnel armament, and strategic intelligence. Section 1 is generally known to the public in terms of recruitment into the military, but the inner workings of the command structure are classified. In short, Section 1 controls the mainstream military, carrying out all missions that are considered necessary to the war effort. Section 2 Section 2 is the colonial affairs and propaganda division of ONI. It directly controls the ONI Peacekeepers or ONI Cops as they are nicknamed. They serve to keep the population in line and monitor and control the civilian Surveillance Grid. They are responsible for seeking out and keeping and forcing people to stay on the grid. They report all suspicious happenings and possible Insurrectionist activity to ONI Section 1, and it is then passed on to Section 0. Section 2 is also civilian affairs. It serves as the public government that is "elected" by the people. It is responsible for colony expansion and population control. It ensures the population is comfortable and happy in order to maximize efficiency. The visible government is generally self governing, and it does have power, but any ruling can be overruled by Section 0 at any time. Although the image of democracy is given, it is, more or less, a military dictatorship. Section 3 Section 3 is the top-secret projects division. It should be noted that Section 3's responsibilities never inter-mix with Section 0. During the Human-Covenant War, Section 3 was responsible for the Spartan II (Class 1) and the Spartan III programs. Section 3 also oversees the NOVA project, the MJOLNIR Program, the ORION Project, and many other black ops. Though a few of Section III's programs are well known and celebrated for their success, the Marines and top brass treat most with contempt. The Spartan-III project was kept secret from the vast majority of Section III. This is not particularly unusual as Section III is a large division with numerous sub-cells. The division and compartmentalization is to ensure secrecy and security. Prowler Corps Signal Corps Planets The Office of Naval Intelligence still controls a network of planets and territories. The following is a list of each of these planets. Earth Mars Reach J-2-Alpha Midnight Genesis Tempus Fugit Balast Eclipse Mamore Coral Minister Sigma Octanus IV Atlas Shipyards The Office of Naval Intelligence also controls a number of major shipyards where the construction of warships takes place. The following is a list of all major shipyards. Gamma Eridon Shipyard Epsilon Ilo Shipyard Alpha Serranus Shipyard Zeta Quarter Shipyard Technology ONI maintains much of the technology used by The UNSC, as well as adopting and reverse engineering various pieces of Covenant technology Slipspace capabilities Nuclear capabilities Magnetic acceleration technology Biological and cybernetic augmentation technology Artificial Intelligence technology Holography, such as holodrones and real-time holographic communication system (reverse engineered covenant technology) Stealth technology Active Camoflauge technology (reverse engineered Covenant technology) Reliance on projectile weaponry, and directed energy lasers. Use of Covenant plasma based technology during Black-Operations Tactics The Office of Naval Intelligence employs a very wide range of tactics in order to facilitate its operations. The follow is a list of the most commonly employed tactics: Directives and Protocols The Office of Naval Intelligence has a large array of protocols and directives which can be frequently employed to carry our field operations. The follow is a list of such protocols and directives exclusively used by ONI: Combat / Military / Hostile Engagements ONI Engagement of Hostiles Act, Article 21, Regulation 14: Enables the use of weapons of mass destruction to eliminate hostile contacts, even though Human casualties are guaranteed. ONI Engagement of Hostiles Act, Article 88, Regulation 21-12265: Declaration that any rouge UNSC personnel, that is interfering with ONI efforts to suppress hostile contacts, is to be terminated immediately. ONI Command Directive Helios: Enacted by ONI flag officers to issue an emergency override order to invalidate and supersede prior orders from non-ONI personnel. ONI Command Directive Utopia: Enacted by ONI flag officers when the chain of command has broken down, to the effect of re-establishing the chain of command in order to facilitate retaliation against hostile contacts. Intelligence Gathering / Control / Suppression / Censorship ONI Security of Information Protocol, Article 3, Regulation 1-016: Immediate communications blackout with all UNSC vessels and/or vessels not cleared by ONI to handle secured information. ONI Security of Information Protocol, Article 13, Regulation 4: Entitles ONI Operatives to request a  Victor-997 debriefing. ONI Destruction of Information Protocol, Directive 15F-C5: Authorization to destroy all sensitive / classified data at an ONI Facility. Related to WINTER CONTINGENCY Interrogation ONI Interrogation Directive Alpha-Ilo-Durango: A method of interrogation that utilizes cognitive impression modeling to create AIs from the brains of individuals being interrogated, to the effect of decompiling the AI and extracting information as needed. ONI Interrogation Directive Victor-997: Engaged by an ONI Operative with the sole intent of overriding the chain of command in order to be directly debriefed / questioned by the senior most ONI officer on site. ONI Interrogation Directive Sigma-337-Tango: Procures the immediate use of torture when no other viable options are readily available to acquire information. Detention / Confinement of POWs ONI Detention of Personnel Act, Article RO-581: Deals with the handling of officers that have been charged with mutiny and/or treason. Protocol CROWBAR: Detainees are to be handled exclusively by ONI personnel ONI Detention of Non-Human Act, Article 2, Regulation 3: Non-Humans are not privy or entitled to the protection of the UN Colonial Mortal Dictata. Non-Humans have no rights when in custody of ONI. As of 2555, the aforementioned protocol is hereby indefinably suspended and Regulation 3A is now in effect. ONI Detention of Non-Human Act, Article 2, Regulation 3A: Non-Humans are hereby granted the same protection, legal status, and person-hood granted to Humans in accordance to the UN Colonial Mortal Dictata. ONI Detention of Non-Human Act, Article 3, Regulation 1: Cross-species detention is strictly prohibited. No exceptions. ONI Detention of Non-Human Act, Article 3, Regulation 4: Sangheili POWs are not permitted any tools, equipment, articles of clothing, or anything else that could be used to inflict bodily harm, with the sole intent of committing suicide. ONI Detention of Non-Human Act, Article 3, Regulation 5A: Jiralhanae POWs are to detained individually, so as to avoid physical abuse of beta males by an alpha male. ONI Detention of Non-Human Act, Article 3, Regulation 5B: Jiralhanae POWs are required to wear a class-9 muzzle harness at all times to nullify the threat of biting. ONI Detention of Non-Human Act, Article 5, Regulation 13A: Consumption of an inmates food is strictly prohibited under all circumstances. ONI Detention of Non-Human Act, Article 8, Regulation 4: Lethal force is authorized during riots and/or unrest. UEG Article C, Section 4, paragraph 23: Deals with the arrest of military personnel, with the intention of bringing them to the ranking officer on scene for questioning.

They report all suspicious happenings and possible Insurrectionist activity to ONI Section 1, and it is then passed on to Section 0. Section 2 is also civilian affairs. It serves as the public government that is "elected" by the people. It is responsible for colony expansion and population control. It ensures the population is comfortable and happy in order to maximize efficiency. The visible government is generally self governing, and it does have power, but any ruling can be overruled by Section 0 at any time. Although the image of democracy is given, it is, more or less, a military dictatorship. Section 3 Section 3 is the top-secret projects division. It should be noted that Section 3's responsibilities never inter-mix with Section 0. During the Human-Covenant War, Section 3 was responsible for the Spartan II (Class 1) and the Spartan III programs. Section 3 also oversees the NOVA project, the MJOLNIR Program, the ORION Project, and many other black ops. Though a few of Section III's programs are well known and celebrated for their success, the Marines and top brass treat most with contempt. The Spartan-III project was kept secret from the vast majority of Section III. This is not particularly unusual as Section III is a large division with numerous sub-cells. The division and compartmentalization is to ensure secrecy and security. Prowler Corps Signal Corps Planets The Office of Naval Intelligence still controls a network of planets and territories. The following is a list of each of these planets. Earth Mars Reach J-2-Alpha Midnight Genesis Tempus Fugit Balast Eclipse Mamore Coral Minister Sigma Octanus IV Atlas Shipyards and Stations The Office of Naval Intelligence also controls a number of major shipyards where the construction of warships takes place. The following is a list of all major shipyards. Gamma Eridon Shipyard Epsilon Ilo Shipyard Alpha Serranus Shipyard Zeta Quarter Shipyard Tempus Fugit Shipyard In addition to the shipyards listed above, ONI CC has multiple small scale orbital stations around colony worlds which can be used as docking anchors for smaller vessels. Technology ONI maintains much of the technology used by The UNSC, as well as adopting and reverse engineering various pieces of Covenant technology Slipspace capabilities Nuclear capabilities Magnetic acceleration technology Biological and cybernetic augmentation technology Artificial Intelligence technology Holography, such as holodrones and real-time holographic communication system (reverse engineered covenant technology) Stealth technology Active Camoflauge technology (reverse engineered Covenant technology) Reliance on projectile weaponry, and directed energy lasers. Use of Covenant plasma based technology during Black-Operations Naval Technology ONI has a very wide range of naval vessels which they use to facilitate day to day operations.

The Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command Purpose: Military Government Leader: Director Preston J. Vernette Role: Intelligence, Security, Defense Executives: Captain Rodney Hayes State Religion: Multicultural / Various Ruling Body: HIGHCOM Technology Tier: Tier 3 Capital: J-2-Alpha Species: Human Power Base: Multiple planets and shipyards Client Species: None Intel Branch: Office of Naval Intelligence Currency: The UN Credit (cR) Preceeded By: UNSC Language: English Succeeded By: Reformed UEG Current Status: Active between 2553 and 2555. The Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command The Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command (ONI CC), commonly misnomered as just ONI, is the military government that controls all of humanities assets, as of 2553. After the Third Battle of Earth, in which most of the UNSC's chain of command was either utterly smashed or scattered, ONI was the strongest and most cohesive surviving entity, surviving largely in part due to an establish power base in the J-2-Alpha system. Having lost Earth at the time, the human race had nowhere to go. It was at this time that many thousands of humans were evacuated from Earth and moved to J-2-Alpha. This became the "New Earth" as ONI closely guarded the secret of J-2-Alpha, for the survival of the human race depended on it. The J-2-Alpha system serves as the operational base of ONI Central Command, where all decisions are made and fleet yards are kept. The misnomer of ONI was adopted by most soldiers as a sort of slang for ONI CC, to satire the notion that most of the senior brass comes from ONI. However, ONI CC is not to be confused with ONI. ONI CC is the overall organization, while ONI is a smaller part of a larger entity, though, a very important and instrumental part, as previously mentioned. ONI CC is technically classified as a Temporary Emergency Government, acting as a substitute power-base while the UNSC chain of command was rebuilt and reestablished.

During the Human-Covenant War, ONI served as simply the intelligence and espionage branch for the collective UNSC. After the collapse of the UNSC in mid 2553, top ONI brass, namely Director Preston Vernette, took control of what was left of the military in order to continue the fight against both The Elites and The Brutes. After ONI had taken control of all remaining military assets, it reformed the military and chain of command, taking careful consideration to keep an identical chain of command so as to simplify the transition, and formed The Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command (ONI CC). ONI CC is a temporary organization for ONI, intended to act on behalf of a defunct UNSC and UEG, and is not intended to be a permanent solution, but rather, a stop gap until the UNSC ranks can be filled, and the UEG can be reformed. Chain of Command Structure The following is a breakdown of the ONI CC Chain of command, showing which departments fall under which chain of command. Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command Security Committee Security Council Defense Force High Command Administrative Personnel Command Unified Ground Command Colonial Military Administration Uniformed Services Navy Naval Command Fleet Command Office of Naval Intelligence Section 0 Class 0 Spartan II Program ONI Agents Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Spartan I Program Spartan II Program Spartan III Program Spartan IV Program Prowler Corps Signal Corps Logistical Operations Command Office of Investigations Naval Special Warfare Command Project ORION Spartan I Program Class 1 Spartan II Program Marine Corps Marine Infantry Marine Aviation Marine Logistics Marine Military Police Marine Chaplain Corps Marine Special Operations Orbital Drop Shock Troopers Army Army Infantry Army Military Police Peacekeepers Army Logistics Air Force Air Force Logistics Spartan Spartan Training and Administration Spartan R&D Spartan Logistics Commerce Department of Commercial Shipping Department of Trade and Finance Civilian Department of Civilian Contractors Department of Colonial Affiars Peacekeeper Corps Diplomatic Corps Office of Naval Intelligence Section 0 Section 0 is the internal affairs division of ONI. It also serves as the primary source of all tactical espionage and military information for ONI. It maintains total secrecy from the general public, and very little is known about it, and what is known, is known by very few people. ONI Section 0 is considered to be a myth by many officers. All that is generally known is that the Director of Section 0 can supersede any decision made at any time. The Director of Section 0, is essentially, the most powerful position in ONI. The Director of Section 0 has permission to carry out any assignment under any premise as he or she sees fit. Missions carried out by Section 0 agents always have the authorization to use lethal force if necessary if the completion of a mission is in jeopardy. Missions undertaken by Section 0 agents and ships generally are of great importance where failure is otherwise unacceptable. Section 0 officers are given seniority in combat situations. Simply due to their affiliation, officers can supersede orders from another non Section 0 officer or soldier a whole rank above their own. Despite the importance of ONI Section 0, the other branches do not answer to Section 0. It is the general practice that Section 0 will reveal itself to high rank military officials in order to send information and instructions down the chain of command. It should be noted that Section 0 maintains control of all Spartan MJOLNIR equipment. It also ensures that anything Spartan related, including the armor and the research and development, do not fall into the hands of any single rouge organization. The first general order of Section 0 is the defense of all information pertaining to the military assets of the human race. Allowing military secrets to slip into public view is deemed incredibly unacceptable. While Section 3 runs the top secret projects division, Section 0 runs its own branch of R&D which is generally understood to be highly advanced, and far beyond anything Section 3 is capable of, such as the Spartan II (Class 0 and Class 2) Program, Project CLOAK AND DAGGER, which was active during the Human-Covenant War, and the R&D into shipboard active camouflage. There is no central base of operations for Section 0, but rather, multiple high security installations, such as Tempus Fugit, and The Citadel. Both of these locations do not officially exist outside of Section 0. Section 1 Section 1 is the main military branch of ONI. It is responsible for the training and armament of all ONI military equipment and personnel. All ONI marines and ODST fall under the command jurisdiction of Section 1. In more detail, Section 1 oversees the responsibility for the shipyards, ship production, personnel training, personnel armament, and strategic intelligence. Section 1 is generally known to the public in terms of recruitment into the military, but the inner workings of the command structure are classified. In short, Section 1 controls the mainstream military, carrying out all missions that are considered necessary to the war effort. Section 2 Section 2 is the colonial affairs and propaganda division of ONI. It directly controls the ONI Peacekeepers or ONI Cops as they are nicknamed. They serve to keep the population in line and monitor and control the civilian Surveillance Grid. They are responsible for seeking out and keeping and forcing people to stay on the grid. They report all suspicious happenings and possible Insurrectionist activity to ONI Section 1, and it is then passed on to Section 0. Section 2 is also civilian affairs. It serves as the public government that is "elected" by the people. It is responsible for colony expansion and population control. It ensures the population is comfortable and happy in order to maximize efficiency. The visible government is generally self governing, and it does have power, but any ruling can be overruled by Section 0 at any time. Although the image of democracy is given, it is, more or less, a military dictatorship. Section 3 Section 3 is the top-secret projects division. It should be noted that Section 3's responsibilities never inter-mix with Section 0. During the Human-Covenant War, Section 3 was responsible for the Spartan II (Class 1) and the Spartan III programs. Section 3 also oversees the NOVA project, the MJOLNIR Program, the ORION Project, and many other black ops. Though a few of Section III's programs are well known and celebrated for their success, the Marines and top brass treat most with contempt. The Spartan-III project was kept secret from the vast majority of Section III. This is not particularly unusual as Section III is a large division with numerous sub-cells. The division and compartmentalization is to ensure secrecy and security. Prowler Corps Signal Corps Planets The Office of Naval Intelligence still controls a network of planets and territories. The following is a list of each of these planets. Earth Mars Reach J-2-Alpha Midnight Genesis Tempus Fugit Balast Eclipse Mamore Coral Minister Sigma Octanus IV Atlas Shipyards and Stations The Office of Naval Intelligence also controls a number of major shipyards where the construction of warships takes place.

The Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command Purpose: Military Government Leader: Director Preston J. Vernette Role: Intelligence, Security, Defense Executives: Captain Rodney Hayes State Religion: Multicultural / Various Ruling Body: HIGHCOM Technology Tier: Tier 3 Capital: J-2-Alpha Species: Human Power Base: Multiple planets and shipyards Client Species: None Intel Branch: Office of Naval Intelligence Currency: The UN Credit (cR) Preceeded By: UNSC Language: English Succeeded By: Reformed UEG Current Status: Active between 2553 and 2555. The Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command The Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command (ONI CC), commonly misnomered as just ONI, is the military government that controls all of humanities assets, as of 2553. After the Third Battle of Earth, in which most of the UNSC's chain of command was either utterly smashed or scattered, ONI was the strongest and most cohesive surviving entity, surviving largely in part due to an establish power base in the J-2-Alpha system. Having lost Earth at the time, the human race had nowhere to go. It was at this time that many thousands of humans were evacuated from Earth and moved to J-2-Alpha. This became the "New Earth" as ONI closely guarded the secret of J-2-Alpha, for the survival of the human race depended on it. The J-2-Alpha system serves as the operational base of ONI Central Command, where all decisions are made and fleet yards are kept. The misnomer of ONI was adopted by most soldiers as a sort of slang for ONI CC, to satire the notion that most of the senior brass comes from ONI. However, ONI CC is not to be confused with ONI. ONI CC is the overall organization, while ONI is a smaller part of a larger entity, though, a very important and instrumental part, as previously mentioned. ONI CC is technically classified as a Temporary Emergency Government, acting as a substitute power-base while the UNSC chain of command was rebuilt and reestablished.

During the Human-Covenant War, ONI served as simply the intelligence and espionage branch for the collective UNSC. After the collapse of the UNSC in mid 2553, top ONI brass, namely Director Preston Vernette, took control of what was left of the military in order to continue the fight against both The Elites and The Brutes. After ONI had taken control of all remaining military assets, it reformed the military and chain of command, taking careful consideration to keep an identical chain of command so as to simplify the transition, and formed The Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command (ONI CC). ONI CC is a temporary organization for ONI, intended to act on behalf of a defunct UNSC and UEG, and is not intended to be a permanent solution, but rather, a stop gap until the UNSC ranks can be filled, and the UEG can be reformed. Chain of Command Structure The following is a breakdown of the ONI CC Chain of command, showing which departments fall under which chain of command. Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command Security Committee Security Council Defense Force High Command Administrative Personnel Command Unified Ground Command Colonial Military Administration Uniformed Services Navy Naval Command Fleet Command Office of Naval Intelligence Section 0 Class 0 Spartan II Program ONI Agents Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Spartan I Program Spartan II Program Spartan III Program Spartan IV Program Prowler Corps Signal Corps Logistical Operations Command Office of Investigations Naval Special Warfare Command Project ORION Spartan I Program Class 1 Spartan II Program Marine Corps Marine Infantry Marine Aviation Marine Logistics Marine Military Police Marine Chaplain Corps Marine Special Operations Orbital Drop Shock Troopers Army Army Infantry Army Military Police Peacekeepers Army Logistics Air Force Air Force Logistics Spartan Spartan Training and Administration Spartan R&D Spartan Logistics Commerce Department of Commercial Shipping Department of Trade and Finance Civilian Department of Civilian Contractors Department of Colonial Affiars Peacekeeper Corps Diplomatic Corps Office of Naval Intelligence Section 0 Section 0 is the internal affairs division of ONI. It also serves as the primary source of all tactical espionage and military information for ONI. It maintains total secrecy from the general public, and very little is known about it, and what is known, is known by very few people. ONI Section 0 is considered to be a myth by many officers. All that is generally known is that the Director of Section 0 can supersede any decision made at any time. The Director of Section 0, is essentially, the most powerful position in ONI. The Director of Section 0 has permission to carry out any assignment under any premise as he or she sees fit. Missions carried out by Section 0 agents always have the authorization to use lethal force if necessary if the completion of a mission is in jeopardy. Missions undertaken by Section 0 agents and ships generally are of great importance where failure is otherwise unacceptable. Section 0 officers are given seniority in combat situations. Simply due to their affiliation, officers can supersede orders from another non Section 0 officer or soldier a whole rank above their own. Despite the importance of ONI Section 0, the other branches do not answer to Section 0. It is the general practice that Section 0 will reveal itself to high rank military officials in order to send information and instructions down the chain of command. It should be noted that Section 0 maintains control of all Spartan MJOLNIR equipment. It also ensures that anything Spartan related, including the armor and the research and development, do not fall into the hands of any single rouge organization. The first general order of Section 0 is the defense of all information pertaining to the military assets of the human race. Allowing military secrets to slip into public view is deemed incredibly unacceptable. While Section 3 runs the top secret projects division, Section 0 runs its own branch of R&D which is generally understood to be highly advanced, and far beyond anything Section 3 is capable of, such as the Spartan II (Class 0 and Class 2) Program, Project CLOAK AND DAGGER, which was active during the Human-Covenant War, and the R&D into shipboard active camouflage. There is no central base of operations for Section 0, but rather, multiple high security installations, such as Tempus Fugit, and The Citadel. Both of these locations do not officially exist outside of Section 0. Section 1 Section 1 is the main military branch of ONI. It is responsible for the training and armament of all ONI military equipment and personnel. All ONI marines and ODST fall under the command jurisdiction of Section 1. In more detail, Section 1 oversees the responsibility for the shipyards, ship production, personnel training, personnel armament, and strategic intelligence. Section 1 is generally known to the public in terms of recruitment into the military, but the inner workings of the command structure are classified. In short, Section 1 controls the mainstream military, carrying out all missions that are considered necessary to the war effort. Section 2 Section 2 is the colonial affairs and propaganda division of ONI. It directly controls the ONI Peacekeepers or ONI Cops as they are nicknamed. They serve to keep the population in line and monitor and control the civilian Surveillance Grid. They are responsible for seeking out and keeping and forcing people to stay on the grid. They report all suspicious happenings and possible Insurrectionist activity to ONI Section 1, and it is then passed on to Section 0. Section 2 is also civilian affairs. It serves as the public government that is "elected" by the people. It is responsible for colony expansion and population control. It ensures the population is comfortable and happy in order to maximize efficiency. The visible government is generally self governing, and it does have power, but any ruling can be overruled by Section 0 at any time. Although the image of democracy is given, it is, more or less, a military dictatorship. Section 3 Section 3 is the top-secret projects division. It should be noted that Section 3's responsibilities never inter-mix with Section 0. During the Human-Covenant War, Section 3 was responsible for the Spartan II (Class 1) and the Spartan III programs. Section 3 also oversees the NOVA project, the MJOLNIR Program, the ORION Project, and many other black ops. Though a few of Section III's programs are well known and celebrated for their success, the Marines and top brass treat most with contempt. The Spartan-III project was kept secret from the vast majority of Section III. This is not particularly unusual as Section III is a large division with numerous sub-cells. The division and compartmentalization is to ensure secrecy and security. Prowler Corps Signal Corps Planets The Office of Naval Intelligence still controls a network of planets and territories. The following is a list of each of these planets. Earth Mars Reach J-2-Alpha Midnight Genesis Tempus Fugit Balast Eclipse Mamore Coral Minister Sigma Octanus IV Atlas Shipyards and Stations The Office of Naval Intelligence also controls a number of major shipyards where the construction of warships takes place. The following is a list of all major shipyards. Gamma Eridon Shipyard Epsilon Ilo Shipyard Alpha Serranus Shipyard Zeta Quarter Shipyard Tempus Fugit Shipyard In addition to the shipyards listed above, ONI CC has multiple small scale orbital stations around colony worlds which can be used as docking anchors for smaller vessels. Technology ONI maintains much of the technology used by The UNSC, as well as adopting and reverse engineering various pieces of Covenant technology Slipspace capabilities Nuclear capabilities Magnetic acceleration technology Biological and cybernetic augmentation technology Artificial Intelligence technology Holography, such as holodrones and real-time holographic communication system (reverse engineered covenant technology) Stealth technology Active Camoflauge technology (reverse engineered Covenant technology) Reliance on projectile weaponry, and directed energy lasers. Use of Covenant plasma based technology during Black-Operations Naval Vessels ONI has a very wide range of naval vessels which they use to facilitate day to day operations. The following is a list of vessels which are most commonly used by ONI CC: Corvettes Prowler-Class Stealth Corvette Destroyers Midlothian-Class Destroyer Frigates Paris-Class Frigate Charon-Class Frigate Stalwart-Class Frigate Cruisers Halcyon-Class Cruiser Heavy Cruisers Autumn-Class Cruiser Battleships Marathon-Class Cruisers Phoenix-Class Carrier Athens-Class Carrier Warships Infinity-Class Warship Tactics The Office of Naval Intelligence employs a very wide range of tactics in order to facilitate its operations. The follow is a list of the most commonly employed tactics: Use of Stealth systems in ambush attacks and combat. Use of Prowlers to covertly place minefields around hostile ships. Use of electronic data tapping to aquire information and intelligence. Use of Covenant technology during Black-Ops to cover the tracks of headhunters and assassins. Directives and Protocols The Office of Naval Intelligence has a large array of protocols and directives which can be frequently employed to carry our field operations. The follow is a list of such protocols and directives exclusively used by ONI: Combat / Military / Hostile Engagements ONI Engagement of Hostiles Act, Article 21, Regulation 14: Enables the use of weapons of mass destruction to eliminate hostile contacts, even though Human casualties are guaranteed. ONI Engagement of Hostiles Act, Article 88, Regulation 21-12265: Declaration that any rouge UNSC personnel, that is interfering with ONI efforts to suppress hostile contacts, is to be terminated immediately. ONI Command Directive Helios: Enacted by ONI flag officers to issue an emergency override order to invalidate and supersede prior orders from non-ONI personnel. ONI Command Directive Utopia: Enacted by ONI flag officers when the chain of command has broken down, to the effect of re-establishing the chain of command in order to facilitate retaliation against hostile contacts. Intelligence Gathering / Control / Suppression / Censorship ONI Security of Information Protocol, Article 3, Regulation 1-016: Immediate communications blackout with all UNSC vessels and/or vessels not cleared by ONI to handle secured information. ONI Security of Information Protocol, Article 13, Regulation 4: Entitles ONI Operatives to request a  Victor-997 debriefing.

After ONI had taken control of all remaining military assets, it reformed the military and chain of command, taking careful consideration to keep an identical chain of command so as to simplify the transition, and formed The Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command (ONI CC). ONI CC is a temporary organization for ONI, intended to act on behalf of a defunct UNSC and UEG, and is not intended to be a permanent solution, but rather, a stop gap until the UNSC ranks can be filled, and the UEG can be reformed. Structure of Command The following is a breakdown of the ONI CC Chain of command, showing which departments fall under which chain of command. Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command Security Committee Security Council Defense Force High Command Administrative Personnel Command Unified Ground Command Colonial Military Administration Uniformed Services Navy Naval Command Fleet Command Office of Naval Intelligence Section 0 Class 0 Spartan II Program ONI Agents Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Spartan I Program Spartan II Program Spartan III Program Spartan IV Program Prowler Corps Signal Corps Logistical Operations Command Office of Investigations Naval Special Warfare Command Project ORION Spartan I Program Class 1 Spartan II Program Marine Corps Marine Infantry Marine Aviation Marine Logistics Marine Military Police Marine Chaplain Corps Marine Special Operations Orbital Drop Shock Troopers Army Army Infantry Army Military Police Peacekeepers Army Logistics Air Force Air Force Logistics Spartan Spartan Training and Administration Spartan R&D Spartan Logistics Commerce Department of Commercial Shipping Department of Trade and Finance Civilian Department of Civilian Contractors Department of Colonial Affiars Peacekeeper Corps Diplomatic Corps Office of Naval Intelligence Section 0 Section 0 is the internal affairs division of ONI. It also serves as the primary source of all tactical espionage and military information for ONI. It maintains total secrecy from the general public, and very little is known about it, and what is known, is known by very few people. ONI Section 0 is considered to be a myth by many officers. All that is generally known is that the Director of Section 0 can supersede any decision made at any time. The Director of Section 0, is essentially, the most powerful position in ONI. The Director of Section 0 has permission to carry out any assignment under any premise as he or she sees fit. Missions carried out by Section 0 agents always have the authorization to use lethal force if necessary if the completion of a mission is in jeopardy. Missions undertaken by Section 0 agents and ships generally are of great importance where failure is otherwise unacceptable. Section 0 officers are given seniority in combat situations. Simply due to their affiliation, officers can supersede orders from another non Section 0 officer or soldier a whole rank above their own. Despite the importance of ONI Section 0, the other branches do not answer to Section 0. It is the general practice that Section 0 will reveal itself to high rank military officials in order to send information and instructions down the chain of command. It should be noted that Section 0 maintains control of all Spartan MJOLNIR equipment. It also ensures that anything Spartan related, including the armor and the research and development, do not fall into the hands of any single rouge organization. The first general order of Section 0 is the defense of all information pertaining to the military assets of the human race. Allowing military secrets to slip into public view is deemed incredibly unacceptable. While Section 3 runs the top secret projects division, Section 0 runs its own branch of R&D which is generally understood to be highly advanced, and far beyond anything Section 3 is capable of, such as the Spartan II (Class 0 and Class 2) Program, Project CLOAK AND DAGGER, which was active during the Human-Covenant War, and the R&D into shipboard active camouflage. There is no central base of operations for Section 0, but rather, multiple high security installations, such as Tempus Fugit, and The Citadel. Both of these locations do not officially exist outside of Section 0. Section 1 Section 1 is the main military branch of ONI. It is responsible for the training and armament of all ONI military equipment and personnel. All ONI marines and ODST fall under the command jurisdiction of Section 1. In more detail, Section 1 oversees the responsibility for the shipyards, ship production, personnel training, personnel armament, and strategic intelligence. Section 1 is generally known to the public in terms of recruitment into the military, but the inner workings of the command structure are classified. In short, Section 1 controls the mainstream military, carrying out all missions that are considered necessary to the war effort. Section 2 Section 2 is the colonial affairs and propaganda division of ONI. It directly controls the ONI Peacekeepers or ONI Cops as they are nicknamed. They serve to keep the population in line and monitor and control the civilian Surveillance Grid. They are responsible for seeking out and keeping and forcing people to stay on the grid. They report all suspicious happenings and possible Insurrectionist activity to ONI Section 1, and it is then passed on to Section 0. Section 2 is also civilian affairs. It serves as the public government that is "elected" by the people. It is responsible for colony expansion and population control. It ensures the population is comfortable and happy in order to maximize efficiency. The visible government is generally self governing, and it does have power, but any ruling can be overruled by Section 0 at any time. Although the image of democracy is given, it is, more or less, a military dictatorship. Section 3 Section 3 is the top-secret projects division. It should be noted that Section 3's responsibilities never inter-mix with Section 0. During the Human-Covenant War, Section 3 was responsible for the Spartan II (Class 1) and the Spartan III programs. Section 3 also oversees the NOVA project, the MJOLNIR Program, the ORION Project, and many other black ops. Though a few of Section III's programs are well known and celebrated for their success, the Marines and top brass treat most with contempt. The Spartan-III project was kept secret from the vast majority of Section III. This is not particularly unusual as Section III is a large division with numerous sub-cells. The division and compartmentalization is to ensure secrecy and security. Prowler Corps Signal Corps Planets Despite the catastrophic losses suffered at the hands of The Covenant, the Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command still controls and oversees colonial and civillian affairs on a large network of planets and territories. These planets and territories are under the protection of the ONI CC and, as such, require persistent supervision. The ONI CC has dedicated significant resources in the protection of all remaining human territories, and as such, affirmed their committment to their protection. Due to the vast amount of information on this topic, each planet has been listed in a general ledger, and provided its own dossier. This information can be accessed by reviewing the notice below. For further information on the planets under the control of the ONI CC, please refer to the following Dossier and access subcategories as needed: Planets and Locations Shipyards and Stations The Office of Naval Intelligence also controls a number of major shipyards where the construction of warships takes place. The following is a list of all major shipyards. Gamma Eridon Shipyard Epsilon Ilo Shipyard Alpha Serranus Shipyard Zeta Quarter Shipyard Tempus Fugit Shipyard In addition to the shipyards listed above, ONI CC has multiple small scale orbital stations around colony worlds which can be used as docking anchors for smaller vessels. Technology ONI maintains much of the technology used by The UNSC, as well as adopting and reverse engineering various pieces of Covenant technology Slipspace capabilities Nuclear capabilities Magnetic acceleration technology Biological and cybernetic augmentation technology Artificial Intelligence technology Holography, such as holodrones and real-time holographic communication system (reverse engineered covenant technology) Stealth technology Active Camoflauge technology (reverse engineered Covenant technology) Reliance on projectile weaponry, and directed energy lasers. Use of Covenant plasma based technology during Black-Operations Naval Vessels ONI has a very wide range of naval vessels which they use to facilitate day to day operations. The following is a list of vessels which are most commonly used by ONI CC: Corvettes Prowler-Class Stealth Corvette Destroyers Midlothian-Class Destroyer Frigates Paris-Class Frigate Charon-Class Frigate Stalwart-Class Frigate Cruisers Halcyon-Class Cruiser Heavy Cruisers Autumn-Class Cruiser Battleships Marathon-Class Cruisers Phoenix-Class Carrier Athens-Class Carrier Warships Infinity-Class Warship Tactics The Office of Naval Intelligence employs a very wide range of tactics in order to facilitate its operations. The follow is a list of the most commonly employed tactics: Use of Stealth systems in ambush attacks and combat. Use of Prowlers to covertly place minefields around hostile ships. Use of electronic data tapping to aquire information and intelligence. Use of Covenant technology during Black-Ops to cover the tracks of headhunters and assassins. Directives and Protocols The Office of Naval Intelligence has a large array of protocols and directives which can be frequently employed to carry our field operations. The follow is a list of such protocols and directives exclusively used by ONI: Combat / Military / Hostile Engagements ONI Engagement of Hostiles Act, Article 21, Regulation 14: Enables the use of weapons of mass destruction to eliminate hostile contacts, even though Human casualties are guaranteed. ONI Engagement of Hostiles Act, Article 88, Regulation 21-12265: Declaration that any rouge UNSC personnel, that is interfering with ONI efforts to suppress hostile contacts, is to be terminated immediately.

The Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command The Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command (ONI CC), commonly misnomered as just ONI, is the military government that controls all of humanities assets, as of 2553. After the Third Battle of Earth, in which most of the UNSC's chain of command was either utterly smashed or scattered, ONI was the strongest and most cohesive surviving entity, surviving largely in part due to an establish power base in the J-2-Alpha system. Having lost Earth at the time, the human race had nowhere to go. It was at this time that many thousands of humans were evacuated from Earth and moved to J-2-Alpha. This became the "New Earth" as ONI closely guarded the secret of J-2-Alpha, for the survival of the human race depended on it. The J-2-Alpha system serves as the operational base of ONI Central Command, where all decisions are made and fleet yards are kept. The misnomer of ONI was adopted by most soldiers as a sort of slang for ONI CC, to satire the notion that most of the senior brass comes from ONI. However, ONI CC is not to be confused with ONI. ONI CC is the overall organization, while ONI is a smaller part of a larger entity, though, a very important and instrumental part, as previously mentioned. ONI CC is technically classified as a Temporary Emergency Government, acting as a substitute power-base while the UNSC chain of command was rebuilt and reestablished.

History and Origins ONI CC emerged from what was left of Humanities military forces after the third battle of Earth in mid 2553. With the UNSC Chain of command in shambles, and military assets at dangerously low levels, ONI established the ONI CC to keep the chain of command together, as well as to act as a cohesive structure to maintain military operations in the wake of a devastating assault. Unlike many UNSC departments, ONI had long since prepared itself for a reemerging hostility towards Humans, on the part of the Sangheili, and as such, we quite prepared to handle the fallout of the betrayal. Since 2553, ONI CC has be able to maintain a very strict and firm grasp on Human assets, using their very familiar totalitarian and draconian approach and methodologies to maintain order, and to ensure Humanities survival in the face of overwhelming odds. As a result of their actions, Humanity has managed to re-establish itself, and once again take its place as a major player in galactic affairs, going so far as to lead a successful invasion of Sangheilios in 2555, which resulted in a near halt to enemy hostility. Decommissioning As of 2555, ONI CC has yet to release its control of Human military affairs, despite the ongoing efforts to once again establish the UNSC and UEG as the central aspects in Human military and political affairs. With the ongoing conflict with The Trust, ONI CC has been unable to facilitate a shift in power due to fears of Trust infiltration into the newly reestablished organizations.

ONI Section II is largely responsible for this branch of ONI CC, and it plays a very direct role in overseeing the day to day activities of ONI CC propaganda efforts, in addition to its standard duties.

With the ongoing conflict with The Trust, ONI CC has been unable to facilitate a shift in power due to fears of Trust infiltration into the newly reestablished organizations. Structure of Command The following is a breakdown of the ONI CC Chain of command, showing which departments fall under which chain of command. Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command Security Committee Security Council Defense Force High Command Administrative Personnel Command Unified Ground Command Colonial Military Administration Uniformed Services Navy Naval Command Fleet Command Office of Naval Intelligence Section Zero Class Zero Spartan II Program REAP-X ONI Agents ONI Sleepers Section One Prowler Corps Signal Corps ONI Security Section Two Public Relations Section Three Spartan I Program Spartan II Program Spartan III Program Spartan IV Program Materials Group Logistical Operations Command Office of Investigations Naval Special Warfare Command Project ORION Spartan I Program Class 1 Spartan II Program Marine Corps Marine Infantry Marine Aviation Marine Logistics Marine Military Police Marine Chaplain Corps Marine Special Operations Orbital Drop Shock Troopers Army Army Infantry Army Military Police Peacekeepers Army Logistics Air Force Air Force Logistics Spartan Spartan Training and Administration Spartan R&D Spartan Logistics Commerce Department of Commercial Shipping Department of Trade and Finance Civilian Department of Civilian Contractors Department of Colonial Affiars Police, Medical, and Emergancy Services Diplomatic Corps Primary Roles Due to the nature of operations undertaken by ONI CC, all major areas of logistical concern are overseen by various portions and divisions of the chain of command. Intelligence Gathering The logistics for intelligence gathering and counter-intelligence is jointly overseen by ONI Section One, rather, ONI Section One and its sub branches. Intelligence gathering is typically done by the Prowler Corps, which specializes in covert monitoring of enemy communications, both long range and close range. The Signal Corps will typically perform counter intelligence by sending vessels and personnel into deep space in order to broadcast false messages, bad intelligence, and create communications traffic to confuse hostile forces, and make the process of location colonies and remote stations exceedingly difficult. Espionage While very similar in purpose to the intelligence gathering carried out by ONI Section One, the Espionage that is carried out by ONI Section Zero Agents typically provides very rich and verbose levels of information on front line activity of hostile forces, so as to facilitate in the formation of battle plans and offensive counter-attacks. In some very rare cases, xeno-personnel who have defected are typically used as covert double agents on their respective home worlds, as was the case with several Sangheili in 2555. It should be noted that almost every instance of a non-human asset being used for intelligence gathering purposes has gone undocumented and has never been publicly acknowledged. Additionally, ONI Sleepers provide internal espionage, that is, the supervision of the entire chain of command, with the sole purpose of helping ONI Section Zero police internal activities and audit all operations carried out by ONI. Security and Defense Security and defense tends to be a very broad matter for ONI CC, as it involves both the security forces which maintain order among the civilian population, but also the permanent defense forces which are stationed at planet-side installations. In large part, security and defense is handled by the main branches of the uniformed services, namely, the Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy, with the Army making up the vast majority of planet-side defenses. In addition to the armed military personnel which are stationed planet-side, civilian organizations, such as police and other emergency response units, are generally found in all human cities. Furthermore, the Peacekeeper sub-branch of the Army makes up a highly specialized branch of military soldiers that are trained to handle civilian matters. Peacekeepers are typical dispatched during riots or protests in order to ensure that civil obedience remains the norm. ONI Security forces, which are answerable to ONI Section One, ensure that the security and integrity of ONI facilities remains uncompromised and intact. In the event that an ONI Facility is compromised, ONI Security are almost always the first responders, stepping up to defende ONI assets with an extreme zeal and dedication. Tactical Operations ONI CC tactical operations are carried out jointly by ONI Section I and the Uniformed services. ONI Section One will be the main provider of all battlefield intel, so that the uniformed services can mount, and carry out, effective strategic operations. Propaganda ONI CC, during the course of its various engagements, has been forced to utilize propaganda on a consistent basis, to ensure that the civilian population's morale remains consistent, but also to ensure that potentially damaging information does not reach the eyes and ears of lower ranking military personnel and civilian agencies. ONI Section II is largely responsible for this branch of ONI CC, and it plays a very direct role in overseeing the day to day activities of ONI CC propaganda efforts, in addition to its standard duties. Research and Development The research and development projects for ONI CC are largely overseen by ONI Section III, with ONI Section 0 playing the very distinct role of policing and supervising human and technological assets. ONI Section Three Planets Despite the catastrophic losses suffered at the hands of The Covenant, the Office of Naval Intelligence Central Command still controls and oversees colonial and civillian affairs on a large network of planets and territories. These planets and territories are under the protection of the ONI CC and, as such, require persistent supervision.
