'''UNSC Astronavigation''', also known as '''ASTRONAV''', was a branch of the [[United Nations Space Command]]. It dealt with the creation and maintainence of navigational data, such as the location of [[human]] colonies.<ref name="FoR">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''' (2010), ''Bonus Content''</ref> | |||
Because of the sensitive nature of this information, all ASTRONAV personnel were secretly implanted with [[Subdural Pulse-Coded Emitter|subdural pulse-coded emitters]] so [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] field officers could track them in the event of [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] invasion. In this situation, ASTRONAV personnel were to be taken to secure locations, and if that was not possible, they were to be terminated.<ref name="FoR"/> | |||
A good Astronavigator could identify and triangulate a very precise point in space using just a few known XNAV Pulsar signatures and any consumer-grade spectrometer or field kit.<ref name="FoR"/> | |||
