The UNSC Department of Commercial Shipping, abbreviated DCS, is a organization in the United Nations Space Command responsible for maintaining the UNSC commercial fleet and regulating interstellar commerce and shipping between colony worlds.[1] Their cargo ships are typically named in reference to terms and phrases relating to trade and logistics, and each is designated with a freighter identification code. Some of these freighters were attacked by the Covenant ship Minor Transgression in 2524, which led to beginning of the Human-Covenant War.
Lieutenant Commander Jilan al-Cygni posed as a DCS employee as cover for her assignment from the Office of Naval Intelligence to investigate the disappearance of freighters from Harvest.[2]
