History
The Office of Naval Intelligence was previously known as the separate entity known as the Office of Strategic Services and was operated by the Security Council after the out-break of the Rain Forest Wars. The OSS was modeled after the CIA, NSA, and MI5 and functioned as counter-operations, and intelligence gathering. They helped end of the Rain Forest Wars when they destroyed the chain of command of the '''Red Faction. '''

They remained with great-oversight or as General Dolce called it "A very short leash" as she feared that they would gain to much power, and if not they would become the greatest threat to the sanctity and security of the United Earth Government. Essentially a linch-pin.

Regardless of General Dolce's recommendation and many of her later counterparts request the OSS was integrated into the Interstellar Naval Core in 2360, and renamed the Office of Naval Intelligence, and was given little or no oversight, and often paid off those who controlled them, or even placed agents in their locations. They had a near unlimited budget due to being part of the navy and began to commit crimes beyond the normal scope of the UEG or Navy.

In 2410 they would break the twenty year long Armistice with the ESU when they feared Chancellor Mavrick would launch an attack on the colonies, his death led to a direct thermal-nuclear detonation on Harmony, killing millions. They also experimented on mutagen viruses created the Reapers or "boogeymen" of the galaxy who were humans gone mad with rage. They were known for silencing former employees, including Admiral Forest who would become a whistle-blower in 2553 where he would leak information to a reporter, before supposedly committing suicide.

In 2562 after the release of a shocking report, and after the Battle and Treaty of Jericho the newly established government would immediately dissolve ONI and prosecute Admiral Yang, for crimes against humanity, and war crimes.
