{{Status|Canon}}

'''ONI Section Zero'''{{Ref/Reuse|platrioxrisei}} or '''Section 0''',{{Ref/Reuse|halseyjournal}} is a subdivision of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]].

==History==
Starting in at least [[2550]], Section Zero began to monitor [['D'|Subject D]] and [['S'|Subject S]], over their conversations about [[Atriox]].<ref name="platrioxrisei">''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', [[Phoenix Logs/Campaign Logs/Rise of Atriox I|Phoenix Logs - Campaign Logs - Rise of Atriox I]]</ref> This monitoring continued until [[2558]] when Subject D stopped communications with Subject S.<ref name="phoenix>''Halo Wars 2'', [[Phoenix Logs/Campaign Logs/Rise of Atriox VI|Phoenix Logs - Campaign Logs - Rise of Atriox VI]]</ref>

After being recovered during [[Operation: WHITE GLOVE]] by [[ONI Section Three]], [[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]] ended up in the hands of Section Zero.<ref name="halseyjournal">''[[Halo: Reach]]'', [[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]</ref>

After the [[Human-Covenant War]], Section Zero developed their own [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR]] visor dubbed "[[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)#Visor color|Secrets]]."<ref>''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', visor description, [[Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)#Visor color|Secrets]]</ref>

{{Quote|...Section Zero, which thinks it spies on everyone else, tells lies to Section Two, and thinks it tells lies to Sections One and Three...|[[Black-Box]] speaking to [[Kilo-Five]].<ref>''[[Halo: Mortal Dictata]]'', p. 199</ref>}}

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: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe]]'', UNSC Structure, p.67</ref> and based on the records of the [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Melissa (AI)|Melissa]], it is charged with rooting out and eliminating illegal programs.<ref name="bees">''[[I love bees|I Love Bees]]''</ref> Part of how Section Zero achieves its goals is through monitoring personnel communications.{{Ref/Reuse|platrioxrisei}}

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.{{Citation needed}}
