==List of appearances==
The 105th Drop Jet Platoon saw action against the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant Army|Army]] during the [[Battle of Jericho VII]] in [[2535|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.

== Trivia ==
==Sources==
*At first glances, people thought that they were slaughtered by manageable numbers of [[Grunts]], leading some players and fans to think that they were implied to be a poor example of a platoon. But in reality, the 105th Platoon was simply overwhelmed by sheer numbers.
{{Ref/Sources}}
*The 105th Platoon should not be confused with the [[105th Orbital Drop Shock Trooper Division]], although both may have served similar roles.
*Although it is assumed that the platoon is an ODST platoon due to the 'drop jet' title there is no actual evidence in the book that they are ODSTs and could possibly be "parachutists".
