Terminal This fanfiction article, UNSC Colloquial Slang, was written by Killer Orca. Please do not edit this fiction without the writer's permission.

"Being a listing of the colloquial terms utilized by the most glorious and reverend soldiers of the United Nations Space Command and its many holy branches, so that the Faithful may know and use the words of the righteous in their own Crusades against the xenos and the soulless.
