Template:Ratings Template:Infobox Military Unit The 105th Drop Jet Platoon was a UNSC Orbital Drop Shock Trooper platoon.[1]
Operational History
The 105th Drop Jet Platoon saw action against the theocratic and zealous religious Covenant Army during the Battle of Jericho VII in February 2535 where it was overrun and obliterated by a force of a thousand Unggoy soldiers. With the typical ODST bravado, the 105th likely took many of their Unggoy attackers with them. It is unknown if any Human survived in the battle between the Unggoy.
The unit was later avenged when the offending Grunts were eliminated by SPARTAN-IIs, led by Spartan 117, in the continuing skirmishes ofJericho VII.
