UNSC Port Stanley is a stealth corvette in service with the UNSC Navy, specifically the Naval Intelligence division, after the Human-Covenant War.[1]
Background
Port Stanley was used by Kilo-Five, an ONI black ops team under the command of Captain Serin Osman. The team also consisted of SPARTAN-II Naomi-010, three ODSTs—Staff Sergeant Malcolm Geffen, Sergeant Lian Devereaux, and Corporal Vasily Beloi—and civilian linguist Dr. Evan Phillips. The ship had no crew other than Kilo-Five and was mostly operated by AI Black-Box.[2]
Osman was given command of the ship, then stationed at Midpoint Anchorage, by the director of ONI, Admiral Margaret Parangosky, on January 27, 2553. Its slipspace drive was upgraded with reverse-engineered Forerunner technology, allowing the ship to travel through the alternate domain much faster than ordinary human drives.[2] Over the course of Kilo-Five's travels, two Huragok; Requires Adjustment and Leaks Repaired, were added to the ship's complement.[3] The Huragok made several further modifications to the vessel, including improvements to its faster-than-light communications system. They also converted the floor of the ship's Foxtrot deck—as well as the corresponding portion of the exterior hull—into a transparent metal, turning the floor into an additional viewport.[4]
Port Stanley was home to the specifically modified Pelican dropship Tart-Cart, piloted by Sergeant Devereaux and used as Kilo-Five's primary planetside transport. Another upgraded Pelican, Bogof, was attached to the ship in April 2553.
Trivia
Port Stanley is a city in southern Ontario, Canada, as well as an informal name for the capital of the Falkland Islands.
