    #askeck In Rebels Zeb talks about how his entire species was almost killed off by some sort of ion weapon that targeted the nervous system? What do you think would happen if that was used against the Flood, especially the different types Graveminds? I think the Halo rings worked on a similar principle, but it's never too clear in the games if they target just the Flood's food, or the Graveminds as well.

      Depends on the division of ONI. Section Zero handles Internal Affairs, like rooting out rogue elements within ONI. While Section Three are the ones that are in charge of top secret operations, R&D for new technology, and other shady things. If you need someone to disappear, call Section 3 and they'll send a spook or wet work team. Try to steal some secret information while working at ONI, expect Section 0 to come knocking.
      Section 3, also happens to be where the Spartan program originated from.

      @dkchaos1133 3 роки тому

      @@MrMiller2048 That would be a mismatch in my opinion. Two completely different levels of technology. And the empire is much larger than the UNSC. Both are very well organized in terms of different branches, hierarchy, etc. But at the same time ONI has disagreements, between divisions. Everyone lies to section zero to avoid getting a knock on the door, other parts of ONI avoid saying too much around Section two or they might find the top secret info they said out loud being used as a part of section two's morale boost.
      Point is, both are good at what they do.
      ONI section 2 are the propaganda and information manipulation wing. One example of them being very good at their job; after releasing information about Spartans being real came up with the myth that "Spartans never die, they're just missing in action." to further boost morale.
      Section 3 on the other hand keeps the truth about what happened to and the mission of the Spartan 3 program a secret from anyone and everyone that doesn't need to know about it.
      In Halo, while Admiral Hood may have been the face of the top brass and leadership, the Vice Admiral in charge of ONI was the one that put a lot of plans and things in motion. Like building the Infinity.
      I'm not that well versed in Star wars lore, so if any one wishes to comment on notable things the ISB has done, feel free.

Example, ONI used the Spartan to crush the rebel insurgent and almost did until the covenant. Another thing is ONI kept the secret location of earth, from the covenant for almost 30 years. Compare to the ISB they failed to protect the Death Star plan from the rebellion, and failed to maintain order within their territory.
      I know some people will disagree with me but I think ONI is better keeping secrets from anyone. That’s just my though on.

    Great video, Eck! I studied the history of the Stasi (the East German domestic security/intelligence agency) in grad school, so I'm very interested in intelligence agencies and their methods. How would the Ubiqtorate compare to the KGB or the CIA? The CIA is an independent, civilian agency not directly connected to the wider military-industrial complex (at least in theory). The CIA is responsibly solely for foreign intelligence, and they are also not allowed to operate domestically (legally anyway). The KGB was a military-style agency (although distinctly separate from Soviet military intelligence, the GRU) with responsibilities for both domestic and foreign intelligence. Was the division between the Ubiqtorate and the ISB similar to the division between the CIA and FBI?
