UNSC Astronavigation: Difference between revisions

{{Era|HCW}}

'''UNSC Astronavigation''', also known as '''ASTRONAV''', is a branch of the [[United Nations Space Command]]. It deals with the creation and maintaining of [[astrogation|navigational]] data, such as the location of [[human]] colonies.<ref name="FoR">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''' (2010), ''Adjunct''</ref>

Because of the sensitive nature of this information, all ASTRONAV personnel were secretly implanted with [[subdural pulse-coded emitter]]s so [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] field officers could track them in the event of [[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"/>
