Team Saber is a fire team of SPARTAN-III Gamma Company. They were one of the finest fire teams in Gamma Company.[citation needed]
Background
Formation
At around age seven, the orphaned children chose to become SPARTAN-IIIs, and were sent to Camp Currahee on the planet Onyx. After having survived the bioaugmentation process, Team Saber graduated from the SPARTAN-III training program on February 20, 2551. As they were one of the highest-ranked teams in the program, they stayed on Onyx to participate in training exercises with Teams Gladius and Katana to see who would claim top honors.[1]
Battle of Onyx
- Main article: Battle of Onyx
During a training exercise, Team Saber was attacked by what appeared to be artillery fire. After retreating behind the Zone 67 fence, they ran into Onyx Sentinels, their previous assailants. After a sporadic firefight, Saber learned about the strange nature of these Forerunner constructs and retreated to the jungle to lay low for a time.
The squad joined the remaining members of SPARTAN-II Blue Team, including Fred, Linda, Will, and Kelly, as well as Kurt Ambrose, the SPARTAN-IIIs' commander, to help Dr. Catherine Halsey recover crucial Forerunner technology rumored to be buried below the surface of Onyx. After a stealth entry, the SPARTANs rescued the members of Team Katana, who had been interred within Forerunner Slipspace Field Pods, placing them in suspended animation. They managed to escape detection by the Sentinels, but were attacked by a massive Covenant invasion fleet and forced to fall back to the Shield World's entry room. A drawn-out battle ensued, and the super-soldiers killed many Covenant troops, despite losing three of their own. Kurt ordered the surviving SPARTANs through the entry and sacrificed himself for their safety by destroying the Covenant army that attempted to gain entrance to the Micro Dyson Sphere, including the Covenant force's commander, Voro Nar 'Mantakree, by detonating two FENRIS nuclear warheads. Team Saber's last known location is inside the Micro Dyson Sphere that is contained in a Slipspace rift inside Onyx.
