'''Kalmiya''' was a "smart" [[AI]] created by [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] of the [[UNSC]] in [[2552]]. She served as a prototype program for counterinsurgency routines and software that would later be put into the specialized AI, [[Cortana]]. In a sense, Kalmiya was Cortana's older "sister." <ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], page 126</ref> | '''Kalmiya''' was a "smart" [[AI]] created by [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] of the [[UNSC]] in [[2552]].

UNSC protocol demands that prototypes such as Kalmiya must be destroyed promptly after their material goes into general use. Dr. Halsey promptly disobeyed this order. She kept Kalmiya around, likely because her previous AI, [[Déjà]], appears to have been reassigned.<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], page 126</ref> | UNSC protocol demands that prototypes such as Kalmiya must be destroyed promptly after their material goes into general use.

Kalmiya resided in Halsey's office in [[ONI]]'s [[CASTLE Base]]. She was left there with Dr. Halsey during the [[Battle of Reach]] and proved very useful in helping Halsey and her [[Spartans]] escape the facility. | Kalmiya resided in Halsey's office in [[ONI]]'s [[CASTLE Base]].
