Orbital Ion Satellite Firestorm or OIS Firestorm was an Ion Satellite developed by the UNSC in 2162. It was used as a strategic advantage against the Koslovics, and Frieden during The Interplanetary War. It was later replaced by OIS Hellfire.

Overview
In 2160, the United Nations was facing hard times. They were at war with 2 ideological parties, the Koslovics, and Frieden. Despite having many victories against them, the UN needed a strategic advantage. It was suggested by UN council members, that an orbital weapon would have great strategic advantage, and as such, constrcution began on the Ion Satellite. By 2162, the Ion Satellite was finally deployed into orbit above Earth. Unfortunately, UN soldiers on the ground, had to place transmitter beacons at the target area, for the Firestorm to fire. Over the years, the Firestorm fired on countries that supported the Koslovics, and Frieden, such as China,North Korea,parts of Russia,Cuba,Vietnam, and Germany. In 2163, the Firestorm fired on a Frieden base in Munich,Germany.

Post-War
After the war, the Firestorm didn't have much use. The UNSC decided that it should still continue its service. In 2320, suggestions and theories were made about making an upgraded Ion Satellite that could be more accurate and efficient. Eventually one was developed and replaced the Firestorm in 2519.
