Title 9, commonly known as the "Black Forces Act", "Skunkworks Law", or the "SS Act", is UNSC Defense Force legislature enacted by the authority of the UNSC Defense Council and the UNSC Joint Chiefs of Staff that applies to the UNSC Special Operations Command and the UNSC Office of Naval Intelligence.

It states that a small number of elite special operations forces units and personnel in UNSCSOCOM and/or ONI, which have earned the nickname of "Title 9 Units", are thereby given unrestricted area of operations (AOR) to prosecute any and all special operations, including counterterrorism, counterinsurgency, and special intelligence operations. The chain of command, funding, size, assets, and individual personnel of "Title 9 Units" are also classified and are fully protected by UNSC MIL-JAG 4465/LHG, The Amended Articles of the United Security Acts of 2162, and the Wartime Articles of Secrecy. Title 9 operators are given the exclusive right to use the callsign "Delta X-1", which gives them authority over all proximal forces in their area of operations from any other branch of the UNSC Defense Force, and orders issued by units identified as "Delta X-1" are thereby treated as directives issued by the UNSC Special Operations Command.
