After examining the ''[[Floral Express]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s flight records, and finding a possible Halo installation in the [[Khaphrae system]], ONI contacted and redirected pioneer teams to Khaphrae. Soon after confirming it was Installation 03, the teams attempted to find and secure the installation's [[Library]] to recover the [[activation index]]. Since Earth was [[Battle of Earth|under attack]] at the time, the teams could not return home, and they did not have the force of arms to remain on the ring, the teams settled in for a long habitation in a makeshift orbital base which they named Ivanoff Station. Shortly after the end of the war Ivanoff was expanded into a permanent UNSC facility.<ref>'''[[Halo Mythos]]''', ''page 164''</ref> | After examining the ''[[Floral Express]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s flight records, and finding a possible Halo installation in the [[Khaphrae system]], ONI contacted and redirected pioneer teams to Khaphrae.

The Office of Naval Intelligence | The Office of Naval Intelligence maintained an illegal black site on the station, unbeknownst to even the station's crew. This black site imprisoned scientists and technicians from throughout the the UEG, set tow work on ethically-dubious research projects. The ONI facility also maintained a top-of-the-line supraluminal communication system, and labroratories and workshops for the study of several objects removed from Installation 03 to Ivanoff Station<ref name="warfleet"/>, including the ring's [[Activation Index]] and the [[Composer]] - a machine capable of converting living beings into digital form. As a result of an accident with the Composer, in which several scientists studying the artifact were digitized, the UNSC discovered the coordinates to [[Requiem]].<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Infinity (level)|Infinity]]''</ref> Despite being a research station, Ivanoff had MAC defense systems and [[F-41 Broadsword]] fighters for defense against intruders, rogue asteroids and the occasional errant [[Sentinel]]<ref name="warfleet"/>, with at least three kept on site at all times.They also maintained at least three [[F-41 Exoatmospheric Multirole Strike Fighter]]s on site at all times.<ref>'''Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide''' - ''Page 114''</ref> It also possessed seven excavation-grade [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]]s.<ref name="composer"/> | ||
