UNSC Port Stanley: Difference between revisions

'''UNSC ''Port Stanley''''' is a [[UNSC prowler|stealth corvette]] in service with the [[UNSC Navy]], specifically the [[Office of Naval Intelligence|Naval Intelligence]] division, after the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="prowler"/>

''Port Stanley'' was used by [[Kilo-Five]], an ONI black ops team under the command of [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Serin Osman]]. The team also consisted of [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Naomi-010]]; three [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]]s - [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Malcolm Geffen]], [[Sergeant]] [[Lian Devereaux]], and [[Corporal]] [[Vasily Beloi]]; and civilian linguist [[Evan Phillips|Dr. Evan Phillips]]. The ship had no crew other than Kilo-Five and was mostly operated by AI [[Black-Box]].<ref name="drive">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 68''</ref>

Osman was given command of the ship, then stationed at [[Midpoint Anchorage]], by the director of ONI, [[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]], on [[2553|January 27, 2553]]. Its [[slipspace]] [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|drive]] was upgraded with reverse-engineered [[Forerunner]] technology, allowing the ship to travel through the alternate domain much faster than ordinary human drives.<ref name="drive"/> Over the course of Kilo-Five's travels, two Huragok; [[Requires Adjustment]] and [[Leaks Repaired]], were added to the ship's complement.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 68''</ref> The Huragok made several further modifications to the vessel, including improvements to its faster-than-light communications system. They also converted the floor of the ship's Foxtrot deck—as well as the corresponding portion of the exterior hull—into a transparent metal, turning the floor into an additional viewport.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 361''</ref>

 

''Port Stanley'' was home to the specifically modified [[Pelican]] dropship ''[[Tart-Cart]]'', piloted by Sergeant Devereaux and used as Kilo-Five's primary planetside transport. Another upgraded Pelican, ''[[Bogof]]'', was attached to the ship in [[2553#April|April 2553]].
