Can someone who has the Art of Halo book give me a pic picture of the ODST Patch on the 2nd to last page in there. Thanks. It's for the ODST Page. Tonster.
No, that's not true. It clearly says several times in the first two Halo Books that UNSC stands for the United Nations Space Command. - 007bond 01:01, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
"Sargent Major, the colonial cross is awarded to those who act on singular daring and devotion, for a man of the United Earth Space Corps."
What about this though? Cutscene in Halo 2.
UNSC is the whole military, where as the United Earth Space Core refers to the Earth Marine Corps. In Halo: Contact Harvest it says Sargent Johnson is from Earth and his family are (his Auntie who looked after him died there). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Madmike159 ( talk • contribs) 09:13, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
In comparison with ships like Imperial Star Destroyers (Star Wars) and Galaxy Class Starships (Star Trek), how big were UNSC ships, and if so, how many ships did they have, and were their faster-than-light engines capable of crossing the entire galaxy, or short portions at a time. Its in for a versus scenario involving the UFP and the Halo Universe. The Gwai Lo 00:36, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

There's already a UNSCDF Marines page too... Bronzey 06:43, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
There's someone who keeps editing all the UNSC pages with absolute rubbish. There's no way any of the stuff could be proven, in fact most of it's made up. Stuff like entire histories, ranks, armies etc that have just been made up from midair and have no place in Wikipedia. Bronzey 07:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
The UNSC's headquarters were always located on both Reach and Earth. Stating that it was on Reach and is now on Earth gives the reader the false perception that the headquarters were moved when this isn't the case. — Wlmaltby3 08:55, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Just as a general thing to do over articles where there are named ships and bases. The italics help to show that it is a named vessel as opposed to a person or place.
Actually only the ship names should be italicized, base names are not italicized. See Pearl Harbor, Fort Hood, or RAF Akrotiri.

While the modern UN headquarters is based in New York City, is this true also for the UNSC? I know its military headquarters is based in Sydney, Australia, but do the books state that the civilian headquarters is in NYC? I would check, but I don't have the books on hand. Peptuck 18:50, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
I think it's both New York and Reach? Why? Because the NYC HQ could be for all of the colonies. Reach HQ might just be for like a other colony HQ. Tonster
Yeah well might is the only thing we can say in the Halo Universe. Bungie doesn't have to much information to give us. And for all we know the UN could have tons of headquarters. So I bet just the "United Nations" part of the UNSC is located in NYC. Tonster.
I've never heard of this class of cruiser; its never been mentioned in the novels or games. Is it from Haunted Apiary/ILB? If it is, tell me. Otherwise I'll delete it. Peptuck 05:50, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
I remember it was. So just keep it.
Cite a source, please. Peptuck 03:58, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Look at the big part at the bottom describing a whole bunch of Halo related links.
Thank you for being so completely vague. If you can't provide a specific source other than "I remember one" I'm deleting it. Peptuck 17:44, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
I think it should be noted that evidence from the books seem to indicate that the UNSC (presumably the official title of Earth's interstellar empire) is not an egalitarian, possibly not even a semi-democratic society. Evidence for this includes the secret police-like operations conducted by ONI within the UNSC (note: in western democracies there is often a strict distinction between domestic and foreign intelligence agencies; it is unconstitutional for the CIA to operate on American soil), the use of the UNSC Navy, Marine Corps, and and Navy special warfare teams to supress the UNSC's own citizenry, and the Cole protocol (which almost completely restricts interstellar travel to military and/or government vessels).
It does, however, appear to be federalized or dominionized in nature, as the governments and city bodies of places like Harvest, Coral, and New Mombasa seem to have little corss-cultural interaction (New Mombasa was not an integrated world city -- many of the citizens portrayed were African, people from Coral were portrayed to be slavic in ancestory [Kamil, his family, and Sophia], and contact between Harvest and the UNSC was delegated to an occasional scout ship much like travel between the UK and the Pitkern islands in the Pacific Ocean.
"Earth gets hundreds of MAC defense cannons while Sigma Octanus gets a DESTROYER?" To the guy who said that uhh Earth only had 16 orbital MAC cannons at the time of the battle of Reach, production was stepped up AFTER Reach fell because the UNSC knew it was only a matter of time before the Covanent learned its location....just thought Id point that out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.95.175.21 ( talk) 06:22, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Why does Unyielding Hierophant redirect here? It's a Covenant ship.
Ghosts of Onyx makes clear the existence of the UNSC Army (Col. Ackerson is described as an Army Colonel -- roughly equal to a Naval Captain), but it isn't mentioned here. MartinDuffy 02:04, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Why does the logo for the UNSC include the letters "UNSCDF" that's a pretty stupid error. MartinDuffy 02:25, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I've read the Ghosts of Onyx talk page, and there are people saying that Ackerson is on loan to ONI from the ARMY. is this true? because if it is, then shen shouldnt it be listed as part of the UNSC? I havent read the book, but i hope to soon. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 125.238.89.148 ( talk) 22:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC).
I've read the book and he is in the army, a branch that is seldom spoken off. The army appears to be more stationary than the Marines, since the book mentions it as being stationed on various human colonies.-- Ian 19:40, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

As the content once on Human Vehicles in Halo currently exists in limbo, we should use it to expand the Vehicles section. Yes? No? -- coldacid 04:49, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
I removed the sentence stating that the ODST are also known as Helljumpers, as only one squad are known as Helljumpers, the NSWG2-Team 5 O.D.S.T. "Helljumpers". Just because one squad is nicknamed "Helljumpers" dosen't mean the whole ODST are also known as "Helljumpers". Ruthless Xero ( talk) 02:21, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
The 105th's motto is "Feet First Into Hell" which gave that ONE squad the nickname Helljumpers. As stated before, just because one squad is nicknamed Helljumpers, dosen't the entire ODST is as well. Ruthless Xero ( talk) 02:21, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
The 105th Division is known as Helljumpers. In Halo 2, the start of Delta Halo is called "Helljumpers," refering to the members of the platoon jumping with the MC. I'm pretty sure there's a section in Halo 3 named after the Helljumpers. Don't tell us they were all part of the same squad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.238.89.15 ( talk) 01:40, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I just happened to read through these paragraphs and I was stricken by the level of stupidity divulged in this talk page. I'm a Halo Fan Fiction writer, and I know about every bit of detail concerning the UNSC and its armed services. Now, you guys say that the ODSTs aren't called "Helljumpers". Have you guys even read the Halo novels??? It's mentioned twice in both Halo: The Fall of Reach and Halo: The Flood that ODSTs are nicknamed "Helljumpers" as a whole!! And Ruthless Xero, the 105th is an ODST DIVISON (the first one and the most important), not a SQUAD!!!! Good God man, you guys should log on to Halopedia from time to time too. This and the "UNSC standing for United Nations Space Corps, not Command" issue really pisses me off. -- UNSC Trooper ( talk) 23:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
