'''Kilo-Five''' was a highly covert intelligence unit under the supervision of [[Margaret Parangosky|Admiral Margaret Parangosky]], the [[Office of Naval Intelligence|Director of Naval Intelligence]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', Chapter 2</ref> Established in late [[2553#January|January 2553]], Kilo-Five's mission was to incite an insurrection between the various [[Sangheili]] [[Covenant remnants|factions]] left shattered after the [[Great Schism]]; this was accomplished by arming the religious extremist group known as the [[Servants of the Abiding Truth]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', Chapter 1</ref> Due to the position of the civilian administration and [[High Command]], specifically [[Terrence Hood|Fleet Admiral Hood]], to pursue a peace treaty with [[Sanghelios]], this unit and mission were not known to those outside the senior leadership of ONI. Kilo-Five was led in the field by [[Serin Osman|Rear Admiral Serin Osman]], an ONI operative, former [[SPARTAN-II]] and the protégé of Admiral Parangosky. The unit reported directly to Admiral Parangosky and was thus designated as part of ONI Core Four, outside the hierarchy of ONI's Sections Zero through Three.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 199''</ref>

During their operations, they manned the highly advanced [[ONI prowler|stealth corvette]] {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}}, refitted in the post-war months with [[Forerunner]] technology.

On multiple occasions, Kilo-Five provided arms to the leader of [[Servants of the Abiding Truth|the Abiding Truth]], [[Avu Med 'Telcam]]. They set up their meetings on the [[glassing|glassed]] colony of [[New Llanelli]] in the [[Brunel system]]. On their second meeting, Kilo-Five encountered a colonist named [[Tom Muir]]. Muir was extracted from the planet and quarantined on ''Port Stanley'', so he couldn't discover anything about their mission. When he questioned Osman about the meetings, Serin lied and told him they were merely exchanging fallen soldiers.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 151''</ref>

Kilo-Five then headed to the former mining colony [[Reynes]] to relieve ONI operative [[Mike Spenser]] of his duties. Spenser was a [[Department of Colonial Security|DCS agent]] who operated a UNSC listening station on the planet. He was extracted by Mal and Vaz, but not before they were involved in a brief firefight with several [[Kig-Yar]], who were attempting to claim the team's dropship for themselves.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''pages 152-158''</ref>

Serin Osman later met with Admiral Lord [[Terrence Hood]] onboard the {{UNSCShip|Iceni}}. They, along with Corporal Vasily Beloi and Dr. Evan Phillips, were the first humans to visit Sanghelios. There, Hood and [[Thel 'Vadam]] discussed the fragile state of both species, as well as a treaty to formalize the peace. Hood invited 'Vadam to a [[Voi Memorial|memorial service on Earth]], and in return 'Vadam invited Dr. Phillips to study Sangheili history and culture on their homeworld.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''pages 358-361''</ref>
