[[ | While all [[civilian]] spacecraft must be registered with the [[Colonial Administration Authority]] (CAA), any ship outfitted with a [[slipspace drive]] must have periodic inspections and licenses approved by the DCS. These vessels are in turn assigned a [[Ship Identification Number]] (SIN) at commissioning that forms a part of its permanent identification alongside an [[identification friend or foe]] (IFF) code and an administrative record.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=115}} | ||

Their [[DCS light freighter|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 the 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]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 123''</ref> | |||
