DEEP LINKS: THE REAL OMEGA

[Accessing]

In the latest CANON FODDER: IF THEY WANT LORE, WE’LL GIVE ‘EM LORE Issue 150

343 Industries and Haruspis debuted the rest of Omega teams names.

We recently featured Omega Team in Hippocratica, and their armor is available in Halo Infinite alongside the Spirit of Fire Operation, so we thought we would address one of the outstanding questions about that team.

When we formally meet Omega Team in the original Halo Wars during the Arcadia Outskirts mission, they are composed of six Spartans. In Halo Wars 2 and Hippocratica, we centered on a team of three—August-099, Leon-011, and Robert-025. So, who were the other three Spartans?

In fact, they’re on the silver screen this week!

You’ve seen ‘em. You know ‘em. We’ve even previously stated that these characters were drawn from core canon.

OMEGA TEAM

During the Covenant War, Omega Team served as a fast reaction team of Spartan super-soldiers deployed to colony worlds under attack where their missions involved denying the enemy critical resources, data, and personnel—by any means necessary.

Omega Team had a specialized task, with critical missions requiring their attention throughout besieged human space. Its membership was never fixed, with August-099 having the longest tenure. In 2531, when deployed to the Outer Colony resort world Arcadia, its membership included Leon-011, Robert-025, Riz-028, August-099, Kai-125, and Vannak-134.

This team composition would temporarily reform for operations on Hellas in 2540, but Riz, Vannak, and Kai were assigned to Silver Team shortly after.

So Silver Team Spartans (besides S-117) were a part of Omega Team. That's actually super dope. Having more lore added to the three unknowns is really great and now we have more Spartans added to the roster for lore!

We're getting ever so much closer to having all 150 Spartan II's filled out!

What are y'all's thought's on this?
