UNSC reporting name

UNSC reporting names were used by the United Nations Space Command to identify and distinguish Covenant military equipment, both during and after the Human-Covenant War. Begun in the late 2520s by the Office of Naval Intelligence, reporting names fell into two categories: three letter code names for Covenant warships and "Type" designations for weapons, ground vehicles, and aircraft. Both categories remained in use for the duration of the conflict, though the "type" designation was supplemented (and often replaced entirely) by nicknames for ease of use.
