Oni Personnel
We should list people in the ONI! --JohnSpartan117 04:09, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * There is already a list on the Characters page. So move that list here and leave a link or leave it were it is but don't create two lists.--Esemono 04:52, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * On second thought you could create a template with a list and then have it on both pages...--Esemono 04:52, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Added it--JohnSpartan117 06:24, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

ONI slogan
Hmm, isn't "Semper Vigilans" meant to be somewhere on the logo?

Is that the latin slogan of the ONI? --JohnSpartan117 00:54, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

yes.--Ryanngreenday 10:37, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

The real life one? What does it mean? --JohnSpartan117 04:32, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * "Always Vigillant" -ED 19:50, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, from what I've read in the Halo novels, it means "Ever Vigilant". --Xamikaze330 23:21, 22 February 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330

Name
Is the name properly shortened to ONI or O.N.I.? --Dragonc laws (talk ) 21:01, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

It should be O.N.I. but for ease of use its ONI AJ 21:19, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

UNSC Military Intelligence Division
If that is its formal name, why don't we call it that?--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 20:39, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, that name has only been mentioned once. It seems to be implied that it's the formal name, but the general populace and military personnel (high-ranking or not) refer to it as "ONI". -- UNSC Trooper File:unsctrooper_small.jpg|14px]] TalkMy Work 16:21, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe ONI is only part of the UNSC Military Intelligence Division, and we've only heard that name once because of the Navy-bias that seems to exist in Halo.
 * The Fall of Reach mentions Michael Stanforth being the head of "Section Three" of the UNSC Military Intelligence Division. It could indeed be referring to another "Section Three", as ONI Section Three's executive officer has never been named, but I'm not entirely sure. -- UNSC Trooper File:unsctrooper_small.jpg|14px]] TalkMy Work 20:06, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps ONI is a section of the UNSC Military Intelligence Division (or at least subordinate to it, given that it's part of the Navy), and the UNSCMID has numbered sections, similar to the British practice of MI5 and MI6 (MI stands for Military Intelligence).--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 22:19, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

team black
shouldn't team black be somewhere under units? they where under command of oni so i would assume they would be a unit of there's Quisdog 01:07, 25 February 2011 (EST)quisdog


 * So were Gray team and the S-IIIs - that doesn't make then ONI agents.--  Fore  run  ner '' 11:21, 25 February 2011 (EST)

oh i just kinda assumed they where cause they dealt with ONI directly and seemed much more affiliated with oni than the rest of the Spartans who seemed more navy based and ONI gave the highly advanced mljnoir specially for them, but i get what your sayin.Quisdog 03:37, 28 February 2011 (EST)quisdog

Wouldn't Section 1 be considered logistics? EpsilonIndi 17:53, 4 June 2011 (EDT)

Section One
I'm surprised we do not put more information about them in the article. They are probably the biggest part of ONI, think of all the things they've done. They're the ones who've gathered the information about the Covenant, they are the ones who scavenged the data found on Installation 04, they found Installation 03they were even the ones who spoke with Chakas on Installation 07! We should put information on what they've done, and that they've discovered Installation 03, etc. Vegerot goes RAWR! Vegerot ( talk )  19:46, 14 January 2012 (EST)!
 * I plan on doing it once I get Primordium.--
 * Not even talking about Primordium, they've done so many other things as well. Which is why I say they're the biggest part of ONI. Vegerot goes RAWR! Icon-Vegito2.gif  Vegerot  ( talk )  20:56, 14 January 2012 (EST)!

ONI HQ
Where is the HQ of ONI on earth? Is it at the present day one in DC? I think that's where the present day one is.
 * I'm guessing it's at HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6, considering that's where CINCONI Margaret Parangosky's office was.-- 20:19, 8 February 2013 (EST)

Other divisions and offices within ONI
In Ghosts of Onyx both Rear Admiral Ned Rich and Captain Aaron Gibson appear. They are said to be the directors of ONI Section Three's Covert Operations and Black Operations Divisions, respectively. These divisions go completely unmentioned throughout the rest of canon, at least as far as I've seen. Do these positions have any connection the the Beta-5 and Delta-6 Divisions within ONI?

Also, in the Halo 2 Anniversary Terminal of Locke's target profile on Thel Vadamee, he mentions the "Office of Retrieval and Acquisitions". I think this could qualify as the unit that he worked under besides just ONI Section Three. Kcin117 (talk) 16:47, 8 July 2018 (EDT)
