/The Office of Naval Intelligence, often abbreviated as ONI (pronounced as /own-ee/), is the intelligence service of the UNSC Navy. Its formal name is the UNSC Military Intelligence Division.
The Office of Naval Intelligence is a division of the UNSC Navy that is responsible for UNSC intelligence, including electronic intelligence, naval intelligence, counter-espionage, and propaganda.
Although it is under the jurisdiction of the Navy, ONI appears to report directly to HIGHCOM, and is responsible for intelligence matters that are handled across the UNSC and are not restricted solely to the Navy. As such, ONI employs members of other military branches, or even civilians, to complete the Division's shadowy work.
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 to mainline naval officers, who often refer to ONI personnel, especially officers, as "spooks". ONI personnel appear to enjoy a significant amount of liberty in their duties, oftentimes violating moral boundaries to achieve their ends or acquiring a vast amount of UNSC resources.
