| The '''Office of Naval Intelligence''' ('''ONI''', commonly pronounced phonetically as [[Wikipedia:Help:IPA for English|/oʊni/]]) is the intelligence service of the [[UNSC Navy]]. Overtly, the agency is merely the information gathering and analysis division of the [[UNSC Naval Command]]. In reality, the operations of the Office of Naval Intelligence are far broader than simple intelligence gathering.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc67|Enc11|Page=67}} | | The '''Office of Naval Intelligence''', acronym '''ONI''' (pronounced as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English /oʊni/]), is the intelligence service of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]]. Its formal name is the '''UNSC Military Intelligence Division'''.<ref>'''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]'''</ref> |
|
| |
|
| ONI has become known for their preeminent role in the acquisition and leveraging of military intelligence. The agency is widely known for using subterfuge, deception, and manipulation in defense of [[human]]ity in order to accomplish its goals. Additionally, the Office of Naval Intelligence employs numerous special projects, such as the [[SPARTAN programs]], [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Project: MJOLNIR]], and the investigation of [[Forerunner]] sites—the most notable of which is [[Trevelyan]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
| | ==Introduction== |
| | The '''Office of Naval Intelligence''' is a division of the [[UNSC Navy]] that is responsible for UNSC SIGINT [signals intelligence], HUMINT [human intelligence], counter-espionage and propaganda. |
|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | Although it is under the jurisdiction of the Navy, ONI appears to report directly to [[HIGHCOM]]. It is responsible for intelligence matters across the UNSC. As such, ONI employs members of other military branches, and even civilians, to complete the Division's shadowy work. |
| The Office of Naval Intelligence was founded in [[2178]].{{Ref/Book|Id=vis229|H4EVG|Page=229}}{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
| |
|
| |
|
| One of the earliest known projects undertaken by ONI was in [[2321]]. This project, dubbed [[ORION Project|ORION]], was an attempt to increase the effectiveness of [[Colonial Military Authority]] soldiers. However this initial run was eventually postponed.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/spartans|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Spartans|D=30|M=06|Y=2021}}
| | Many of its functions and subdivisions, like the [[Beta-5 Division]] and the [[SPARTAN-III Program]], are enigmatic, and its personnel are regarded as mysteries by mainstream naval officers. ONI personnel, especially officers, are often referred to as "spooks". Agents appear to enjoy significant latitude in the discharge of their duties, often violating moral boundaries or acquiring vast amounts of UNSC resources to achieve their ends. |
|
| |
|
| ===Pre-Covenant war=== | | ==Operations== |
| In [[2491]], the [[Carver Findings]] were released and ONI began to use it as their approach to the [[Insurrectionist]]s.{{Ref/Book|Enc09|Page=44}}
| | [[File:ONI emblem.jpg|thumb|Pre-[[Halo 3:ODST]] ONI symbol.]] |
| | The '''Office of Naval Intelligence''' often operates independently of other [[UNSC]] branches. At times it contravenes the law and UNSC protocol to complete top-secret missions. It appears to have an unusually large amount of military equipment for an intelligence service, and has a strong fleet presence. The Office of Naval Intelligence possesses a 'destroyer'-class prowler Starship, the {{UNSCShip|Point of No Return}}, which is used as a command vessel and a secure conference location. ONI also maintains the UNSC's [[UNSC Prowler|Prowler]] fleet, a major source of [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] deployment intelligence, under the auspices of the [[UNSC Prowler Corps]]. ONI also manages field intelligence with units such as [[ONI Recon 111]] liaising with mainstream UNSC military units.<ref>'''[[Halo 3 Epsilon]]''', ''[[Tsavo Highway (level)|Tsavo Highway]]''</ref> |
|
| |
|
| In [[2517]], candidates for the new [[SPARTAN-II program|Generation II ORION Project]] were kidnapped and brought to [[Reach]] for training.{{Ref/Reuse|tforunknown}}
| | Intra-ONI dynamics are often strained with intense competition amongst its own personnel. Agents operate under heavy scrutiny with mistakes often leading to demotion or termination of employment. |
| | |
| ===Human-Covenant War===
| |
| {{Main|Human-Covenant War}}
| |
| In the first several months of the war, some ONI analysts believed the [[Covenant]] may have visited [[Earth]] in the past. Part of this was due to the meter and a half tall [[Unggoy]] the Covenant employed. As such, the Covenant received the nickname "LGM" or "Little Green Men".{{Ref/Novel|HSS|Chapter=1}}
| |
| | |
| Over the course of the war, ONI eliminated or gained control over most competing civilian and military espionage services.{{Ref/Book|Id=warfleetglossary|HWF|Section=Glossary|Page=90-92}}
| |
| | |
| By [[2552]], ONI was also known as the "UNSC Military Intelligence Division".<ref name="tforunknown">''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', Chapter ??</ref> Prior to the [[Battle for Earth|attack on Earth]] in that year, members of [[Blue Team]] reported to an ONI council.<ref>''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', [[Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminal 15 - Unyielding]]</ref> Later during the [[Battle of Kenya]] of that year, [[ONI Recon 111]] helped provide intelligence in the field to UNSC forces.<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', campaign level, [[Tsavo Highway]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Postwar===
| |
| Following the war, the Office of Naval Intelligence had become the primary intelligence service of the UEG with nearly uncontested power in this field.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleetglossary}} ONI was also afforded a great deal of autonomy, due to its connections with the [[UNSC Security Council]].{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/unsc|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=UNSC|D=30|M=06|Y=2021}}
| |
| | |
| As of 2555, Admiral Margaret Parangosky was replaced with Admiral Serin Osman as Commander-in-Chief.<ref name="hitdpg67">''[[Halo: Hunters in the Dark]]'', p. 67</ref>
| |
| | |
| By [[2558]], ONI had a liaison with the [[UNSC High Command|HIGHCOM]] [[UNSC Security Committee|Security Committee]].<ref>''[[Halo: Escalation]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| During the [[Created conflict]], ONI teams sanitized data on [[Earth]].{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/log-of-war|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Log of War|D=30|M=06|Y=2021}} As well, CINCONI Serin Osman went into hiding, along with [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]].{{Ref/Anthology|HFra|Rossbach's World}}

| |
| [[File:Nightfall - Hundley and Gaines.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Two ONI agents, LTJG [[Mason Hundley]] and LT [[Jordan Gaines]], on their mission in [[Sedra City]].]]
| |
| The Office of Naval Intelligence is responsible for UNSC [[Wikipedia:signals intelligence|signals intelligence]] (SIGINT), [[Wikipedia:Human intelligence (intelligence gathering)|human intelligence]] (HUMINT), [[Wikipedia:Counterintelligence|counter-espionage]], [[propaganda]], and top-secret research and development programs. The agency mostly operates independently of other UNSC branches, and at times it contravenes the law and UNSC protocol to complete top-secret missions. ONI's [[Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence|Commander-in-Chief]] (CINCONI), is [[Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]], successor and protegé to [[Margaret Parangosky]].{{Ref/Reuse|Expendable}}
| |
| | |
| As it is responsible for intelligence matters across the UNSC, ONI employs members of other military branches, and even [[civilian]]s, to complete the division's shadowy work. Many of its functions and subdivisions, like the [[Beta-5 Division]] and the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] and [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-III]] programs, are enigmatic, and its personnel are regarded as mysteries by mainstream naval officers.<ref name="tfor18">''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', p. 18 (2001)</ref>
| |
| | |
| ONI is technically subordinate to the [[UNSC Naval Command]]. In practice, however, ONI's activities extend far beyond intelligence gathering, and often receives mandates and directives from [[UNSC High Command|HIGHCOM]] itself.<ref>''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''</ref> It is also not unheard of for ONI to operate without HIGHCOM's knowledge or official authorization, as was the case with [[Kilo-Five]]'s mission; indeed, CINCONI is often considered to hold significant power within the UNSC<ref>''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'', p. 44</ref>{{Ref/Reuse|mdic199}} and even the [[Unified Earth Government]] as a whole.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} All other competing intelligence services have been snuffed out long ago to ensure ONI's supremacy; according to the ONI AI [[Black-Box]], ''"...there are no rival agencies. We castrated them all. Left them cowering in our shadow"''.{{Ref/Novel|HGla|Chapter=17}}
| |
| | |
| ONI has an unusually large amount of military equipment for an intelligence service, and has a strong [[UNSC fleet|fleet]] presence. For example, ONI maintains joint control of the Navy's postwar [[flagship]], {{UNSCShip|Infinity}},<ref>''Halo: The Thursday War'', p. 46</ref> and holds considerable sway over her crew.{{Ref/Reuse|Expendable}} ONI also maintains the UNSC's [[prowler]] fleet, a major source of [[Covenant]] deployment intelligence, under the auspices of the [[UNSC Prowler Corps]]. The Office of Naval Intelligence possesses a stealth cruiser, {{UNSCShip|Point of No Return}}, which is used as a command vessel and a secure conference location. ONI also manages field intelligence with units such as [[ONI Recon 111]] liaising with mainstream UNSC military units.{{Ref/Level|H3|Tsavo Highway}}
| |
| | |
| ONI exerts virtually complete control over the flow of information across the territories under UEG control. Over the course of humanity's [[human colonies|colonial era]], a number of scattered alien artifacts built by a long-vanished civilization later to be known as the [[Forerunner]]s were discovered. ONI secretly concealed all of these findings and maintained a monopoly on [[xenoarchaeology|xenoarchaeological]] research into them;{{Ref/Book|Id=enc43|Enc09|Page=43}} any civilian scientists studying the artifacts would be drafted by ONI.<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions]]'', "[[From the Office of Dr. William Arthur Iqbal]]"</ref> In order to prevent information from leaking to the public, ONI is capable of initiating system-wide data purges which erase all information on a given subject. A noted example of this is [[Onyx]], originally surveyed as an ideal world for human settlement but erased from all UEG databases by ONI due to the alien technology discovered there.<ref>''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'', p. 124</ref>

| ==Divisions==
| |
| {{Quote|Is ONI one happy family? Oh, please. We've got four divisions, officially, and only one of them knows that we've actually got more than that. There's Section Two—made up of psyops and PR, who each kid themselves they're not like the other at all—which tells the lies; Section Zero, which thinks it spies on everyone else, tells lies to Section Two, and thinks it tells lies to Sections One and Three; Section One does stuff we can almost talk about, they interface with other branches; and Section Three does the stuff we can't talk about or else it would have to kill everyone in fascinating and groundbreaking new ways. Technically, [[Kilo-Five|you're]] not a numbered section at all. You're the praetorian guard for CINCONI, in a way, and we just call CINCONI's staff Core Four, although it's actually in [[Core 5|Core Five]] of [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6|Bravo-6]], and [[Department of Colonial Security|DCS]] reports directly to it. You'll note I didn't mention [[UNSC High Command|HIGHCOM]], and that's because all ONI sections lie to HIGHCOM and tell it that it's the most powerful body on Earth, which generally works well at keeping the old buffers convinced that they make the decisions. Now, are you confused? I certainly hope so, because that's my mission.|[[Black-Box]], explaining the perceived structure of ONI to the rest of [[Kilo-Five]], and only partly joking<ref name="mdic199">''Halo: Mortal Dictata'', p. 199</ref>}}

|
| | ==Sections== |
| ===Section Zero=== | | ===Section Zero=== |
| {{Main|ONI Section Zero}}
| | The most secretive section, Section Zero's existence is not general knowledge outside ONI. Details of its role and operations are limited. Based on the records of an [[AI]] named [[Melissa (AI)|Melissa]], it is thought to be ONI Internal Affairs, charged with rooting out and eliminating illegal programs.<ref name="bees">'''[[I Love Bees]]'''</ref> It is very discreet in its work. The true nature and activities of Section Zero are highly classified and unknown outside the ONI command hierarchy. Zero is, essentially, an internal investigations division that polices other ONI activities. <ref name="pedia">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]'''</ref> |
| Section Zero is ONI's Internal Affairs department, charged with rooting out and eliminating illegal programs.<ref name="bees">''[[I Love Bees]]''</ref> Section Zero is very discreet in its work; the true nature and activities of the division are highly classified and unknown outside the ONI command hierarchy.{{Ref/Reuse|enc67}} However, it appears that the other sections of ONI know Section Zero exists and while they are successful at deceiving Section Two, Sections One and Three are not as easily lied to and all three other sections are not easily spied on.{{Ref/Reuse|mdic199}} | |
|
| |
|
| ===Section One===
| | This section has gained notoriety as the section that keeps and maintains sealed [[ORION Project|SPARTAN-I]] Program file archives, including [[Avery Johnson|Avery Johnson's]]. As Internal Affairs it enforces the rules and ensures standards are met. It is authorized to use lethal force in the course of its operations. |
| {{Main|ONI Section One}}
| |
| Section One is the proper intelligence-gathering branch of ONI. As such, the section's services are most often utilized by UNSC forces.{{Ref/Reuse|enc67}} Its responsibilities include information gathering and codebreaking through military espionage.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Information released by Section One includes evacuation notices for colony worlds and [[Covenant]] force deployments.{{Ref/Reuse|enc67}} Section One is responsible for covering up all information on locations ONI wishes to keep hidden from the public eye, such as [[Onyx]].<ref>''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'', p. 48</ref>
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Section Two=== | | ===Section I=== |
| {{Main|ONI Section Two}}
| | Section One is the main branch of ONI and the branch most often utilized by the [[UNSC]]. Information released by Section I includes evacuation notices for colony worlds and Covenant force deployments. <ref name="pedia"/> |
| [[File:ONI PC.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Benjamin Giraud]] works with Section Two to make battlefield imagery appear less grotesque.]]
| |
| Section Two is the propaganda branch of ONI; they are also responsible for psychological operations.<ref name="mdic199">''Halo: Mortal Dictata'', p. 199</ref> Overtly, however, Section Two only deals with external communication and public morale.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} It handles communication between colonies to reduce the spread of rumors and information that would damage morale.<ref>''Halo: First Strike'', p. 98 (''"ONI Section Two had done a brilliant job of preserving the fiction that Earth forces held their own against the Covenant."'')</ref> It was responsible for releasing details of the SPARTAN-II program to the public to boost morale throughout [[Unified Earth Government|UEG]] territory.<ref>''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'', p. 46</ref> Once information about the Spartans was released to the public, Section Two had to maintain the Spartans' near-mythical status within the military by [[ONI Directive 930|listing those killed in action as MIA]]. It was believed that news of Spartan deaths would cripple the UNSC's already-flagging morale.{{Ref/Reuse|enc67}} Section Two is also responsible for broadcasting pre-recorded human carrier signals from various locations into [[slipspace]] to confuse Covenant triangulation technology, preventing them from discovering [[Earth]].<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]'', [[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.

|
| |
|
| ===Section Three=== | | ===Section II=== |
| {{Main|ONI Section Three}}
| |
| Section Three is the top-secret projects division of ONI that oversees the various groups responsible for creating new innovations through the use of advanced alien technology.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} It is responsible for the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] and [[SPARTAN-III program]]s and many other [[Wikipedia:Black operation|black operations]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc67}} Though a few of Section Three's programs are well-known and are widely celebrated for their success, the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] and top brass of the UNSC treat most with contempt. This is especially true of the Spartans, who are regarded as "freaks" by some humans. Though its overall purpose is unknown, Section Three's [[Beta-3 Division]] is known to analyze captured Covenant technology such as the [[Kig-Yar point defense gauntlet]].<ref>''Dr. Halsey's journal'', January 10, 2536 entry - third page</ref> In addition to performing black operations, Section Three's [[Beta-5 Division]] operates the SPARTAN-III program, which is kept secret from the majority of Section Three. This compartmentalization is designed to ensure secrecy and security. The [[Delta-6 Division]] has oversight of an unknown number of [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IVs]] in stealth operations, including counterinsurgency missions.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide ''Halo 4 Interactive Guide'' (defunct)]</ref>

|
| ====Sub-divisions and ties====
| |
| *'''[[Materials Group]]''' is subgroup of Section Three, which is responsible for the development of advanced matériel. The group's most significant development is the Spartans' [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]], as well as the prototype exoskeletons which preceded it. The Materials Group's HRUNTING team revived the exoskeleton project, leading to the development of the [[HRUNTING Mark III (B) Exoskeleton|Mark III [B] Cyclops]]. Later, the team merged with the YGGDRASIL project to create the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Prototype Armor Defense System|Mark I prototype]] and [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Armor Defense System|Mark IX "Mantis" armor defense systems]]. Other developments include the [[XRP12 Combat Support Vehicle|XRP12 Gremlin]] and its [[X23 Non-Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse Cannon|X23 EMP cannon]]; the [[XM4600 Zeus plasma munition howitzer|''Zeus''-class plasma cannon]];<ref>''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'', p. 155</ref> and the planet-destroying [[NOVA bomb]].{{Citation needed}}
| |
| *'''Watershed Division''' is a group with ties to ONI. During the war, the Watershed Division produced over 2,000 units of the [[Semi-Powered Infiltration armor]], issued to the [[Spartan-III]]s. In post-war period it developed an upgrades for the first generation of MJOLNIR armor and a number of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR [GEN2]]] armor variants issued to a very short list of people with high levels of clearance to use such rare equipment.
| |
|
| |
|
| *'''[[Tip of the Shadow]]''': Tip of the Shadow is a sub-division of Section 3 dedicated with the recovery, analyzing, and decoding, of data that Section 3 is stuck with.
| | [[File:ONI PC.jpg|thumb|A [[Photographer (character)|civilian contractor]] works with Section II to make battlefield imagery look less intimidating.]] |

|
| |
|
| ===Section Four=== | | ===Section III=== |
| {{Main|ONI Section Four}}
| | The top-secret projects division of ONI. It is responsible for the SPARTAN-II project, the [[NOVA Bomb|NOVA project]], the [[MJOLNIR]] Program, and many other "black ops". <ref name="pedia"/> Though a few of Section III's programs are well known and celebrated for their success, the Marines and top brass of the UNSC treat most with contempt. This is especially true of the Spartans, who are regarded as "freaks" by some Humans. Beta-5 Division is the sub-cell of Section III that operates the [[SPARTAN-III]] project. <ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]'''</ref><ref name="ghosts">'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'''</ref>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. |
| Section Four is a clandestine survey group employed by ONI for the reconnaissance of new worlds, alongside conducting xenoarchaeology efforts. These efforts are used by ONI to claim new worlds for their own personal use, without oversight of the Unified Earth Government.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P63|Enc22|Page=63}}

| ==Personnel==
| |
| {{Main|Category:Office of Naval Intelligence personnel|l1=ONI personnel}}
| |
| ONI personnel, especially officers, are often referred to as "spooks".{{Ref/Reuse|tfor18}} Many ONI agents enjoy significant latitude in the discharge of their duties, often violating legal and moral boundaries or acquiring vast amounts of UNSC resources to achieve their ends.<ref>''Halo: Evolutions'', "[[The Mona Lisa]]"</ref> Intra-ONI dynamics are often strained with intense competition amongst its own personnel. Agents operate under heavy scrutiny, with mistakes often leading to demotion or termination of employment.{{Citation needed}}

| [[File:H4-IvanoffStation-ScanScreen.jpg|thumb|250px|''[[Ivanoff Station]]'', an asteroid-based research facility near [[Installation 03]].]]
| |
| Many Office of Naval Intelligence facilities employ a very distinct style of architecture and design, which reflects the organization's role and field of work. Whereas the typical UNSC aesthetic favors a militaristic and utilitarian approach, ONI's structures are often monumental and imposing, covered in angular surfaces and sharp edges, resulting in an overall impression similar to a stealth aircraft, a motif also present in the ONI's [[ONI prowler|prowlers]]. The angled exteriors are contrasted by crisp, sterile interior spaces with cold-toned lighting and chiefly white surfaces as well as heavy use of glass and steel in larger spaces such as atriums. Examples of such architecture can be found in ONI's [[SWORD Base]], shaped like an upward-pointing wedge covered in metallic plating, the needle-like [[Olympic Tower]], as well as the enormous, cube-shaped [[ONI Alpha Site (location)|ONI Alpha Site]] in [[New Mombasa]].

| {{Linkbox|gallery=yes|gallerypage=Images of ONI personnel}}
| | *The Office of Naval Intelligence is a real life existing organization within the U.S. [[Navy]] that was established in 1882. |
| *In reality, the [[Wikipedia:Office of Naval Intelligence|Office of Naval Intelligence]] is an agency of the United States Navy that was established in 1882. There is also an Australian intelligence agency known as the [[Wikipedia:Office of National Intelligence|Office of National Intelligence]] that was established in 2018 and shares the same acronym. | | *ONI's motto, "''Semper Vigilans''", is also the motto of the United States [[wikipedia:Civil Air Patrol|Civil Air Patrol]]. The phrase is Latin for "Always vigilant." |
| *ONI's motto, "''Semper Vigilans''",{{Ref/Reuse|fs49}} is also the motto of the United States [[wikipedia:Civil Air Patrol|Civil Air Patrol]]. The phrase is Latin for "Always vigilant." | | *ONI's pre-''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' insignia features the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Providence all-seeing eye], a nod to ONI's line of work. |
| *''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' refers to ONI as the UNSC Military Intelligence Division.<ref>''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', page 19</ref> This name has never been mentioned in subsequent media, though the reference remains in the 2010 re-release of the book. Presumably, this is a production mistake rather than an alternate in-universe name; ONI had not yet been firmly integrated within canon so the Military Intelligence Division may have been a real-world working title for the group.
| | *"Oni" is also the name of one of Bungie's [[wikipedia:Oni (video game)|previous games]], which predates ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. It is also the name of an [[wikipedia:Oni (folklore)|ogre-like creature]] from Japanese mythology. |
| *ONI's pre-''Halo 3: ODST'' insignia features the [[Wikipedia:Eye of Providence|all-seeing eye]], a nod to ONI's line of work. The current symbol may also be interpreted as a stylized depiction of the eye motif. | | *The ONI insignia can be used as a multiplayer emblem in ''Halo 3: ODST''. |
| *''[[wikipedia:Oni (video game)|Oni]]'' is the name of a [[Bungie]] third-person action game which predates ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. The game in turn is named for an [[wikipedia:Oni (folklore)|ogre-like creature]] from Japanese mythology.
| |
| *An official ''[[Halo Waypoint]]'' forum user known as {{Plain|[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_profile601146.aspx Catalog]}} (posing as the [[Catalog|entity of the same name]]) refers to the Office of Naval Intelligence as "[frumentarii]". The [[Wikipedia:Frumentarii|frumentarii]] were the secret service of the Roman Empire, reflecting ONI's position within the UNSC. Catalog also notes that it has infiltrated ONI data cores on several occasions. | |
