''Port Stanley'''s construction began in [[2550]].{{Ref/Reuse|mythos}} It 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|Professor 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> | ''Port Stanley''{{'}}s construction began in [[2550]].{{Ref/Reuse|mythos}} It was used by [[Kilo-Five]], an ONI black ops team under the command of [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Serin Osman]].

Osman was given command of the ship, then stationed at [[Midpoint Anchorage]], by the director of ONI, [[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]], on [[2553#January|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/Reuse|drive}} Kilo-Five took ''Port Stanley'' to the [[Brunel system]] multiple times to exchange weapons with [[Avu Med 'Telcam]], the leader of the [[Servants of the Abiding Truth|Abiding Truth]], on the [[glass]]ed human colony of [[New Llanelli]]. At the second meeting, a survivor on the planet was found, [[Tom Muir]]. extracted from the planet and quarantined on ''Port Stanley'' until he could be transferred off.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 151''</ref> | Osman was given command of the ship, then stationed at [[Midpoint Anchorage]], by the director of ONI, [[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]], on [[2553#January|January 27, 2553]].

Upon arriving at Venezia, Vaz and Naomi were inserted on the planet disguised as UNSC deserters.

When Vaz and Mal were not responding to Osman through their comm gear, she sent [[Requires Adjustment]], Devereaux, and Naomi to ''[[Anchor 10]]'' with ''Tart-Cart'' to retrieve a new dropship for ''Port Stanley'', having it immediately upgraded with the same capabilities as ''Tart-Cart''.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 201-203''</ref> Meanwhile, Osman discovered that Mal and Vaz had been captured by the [[Venezian militia]].

With the help of Staffan, ''Port Stanley'' located the ''Inquisitor'' in the [[Qab system]]. Kilo-Five soon discovered that the battlecruiser was boarded by [[Kig-Yar]], led by [[Chol Von]], attempting to commandeer the ship for themselves.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 397''</ref> The resident [[Huragok]] of the ''Pious Inquisitor'', [[Sometimes Sinks]], allowed Kilo-Five to board the ship with Staffan, while he locked the Kig-Yar in compartments throughout the vessel.

After Von had her crew set the [[plasma turret|plasma torpedoes]] aboard the ''Inquisitor'' to explode, ''Port Stanley'' moved further away from the battlecruiser to prevent damages.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 446''</ref> Soon, Kilo-Five returned to ''Port Stanley'' and Staffan and Sinks escaped in a modified | After Von had her crew set the [[plasma turret|plasma torpedoes]] aboard the ''Inquisitor'' to explode, ''Port Stanley'' moved further away from the battlecruiser to prevent damages.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 446''</ref> Soon, Kilo-Five returned to ''Port Stanley'' and Staffan and Sinks escaped in a modified {{Pattern|Dextro Xur|Spirit}}, while Von and her crew fled just before the ''Pious Inquisitor'' exploded.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 452-456''</ref> With ''Pious Inquisitor'' destroyed and the Venezian threat seemingly neutralized for the time being, ''Port Stanley'' returned to Earth. After being debriefed, Kilo-Five took ''Port Stanley'' to ''Anchor 10'' to drop off Spenser. After picking up a container of firearms meant for 'Telcam, ''Port Stanley'' traveled to [[Cascade]] so Kilo-Five could have a two-day shore leave before they delivered the weapons to 'Telcam.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 476''</ref> | ||

The [[Huragok]] aboard the ship 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 observation deck.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 361''</ref> | The [[Huragok]] aboard the ship made several further modifications to the vessel, including improvements to its faster-than-light communications system.
