Naomi-010, born Naomi Sentzke, is a Spartan-II supersoldier. In January 2553, she was assigned to Kilo-Five, a highly covert intelligence unit under the command of Captain Serin Osman.[2] Naomi is the daughter of Staffan Sentzke, who became an insurgent and terrorist after her disappearance.[5] During the Fall of Reach, Naomi was a part of Spartan Red Team deployed to the ground on the planet in order to defend the planet's orbital defense generators. Here, she took charge of the team Beta-Red, leading them under the callsign Beta-Romeo Actual.[6][7]
Biography[edit]
Early childhood[edit]
Born September 15, 2511 on the colony of Sansar, Naomi was the only child of Staffan and Lena Sentzke,[5] both of whom were of Swedish descent. In September 10, 2517, five days before her sixth birthday, Naomi was abducted by ONI Retrieval team Theta 2 and conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program. During the retrieval process, she temporarily escaped her captors but was eventually caught. As she failed to return home in time, her family began an extensive search operation within their hometown of Alstad and the neighboring villages before a hospital in the nearby New Stockholm announced she had been found. Unknown to her family, however, this was actually a flash clone replacement.[8] Like the other Spartan candidates, Naomi was taken to the UNSC fortress world of Reach, and for years trained under Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez and the AI Déjà. By the age of ten, John-117 had considered her a master armorer due to her uncanny ability to refine and improve virtually every weapon that the trainees used.[9] In 2525, she survived the subsequent augmentation procedures.
Naomi's flash clone died after one and a half years. Her devastated mother came to believe that her "daughter's" death was the result of a hereditary genetic defect, and decided to undergo sterilization; she committed suicide six months later. Correctly deducing that the clone wasn't his real daughter, and that her disappearance was the result of a government conspiracy, her father developed a deep hatred for the UNSC and later became an Insurrectionist leader on Venezia.[10]
Chi Ceti IV[edit]
- Main article: Battle of Chi Ceti
Months after the Human-Covenant War began with the alien empire's attack on Harvest in early 2525, Naomi-010 and the other Spartan-IIs were brought to the Reach FLEETCOM Military Complex, where Rear Admiral Michael Stanforth briefed them on the new Covenant threat. In response, the training of the Spartan-IIs was accelerated, and in November 2525 they were sent to Chi Ceti IV to receive their new MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor from the Damascus Materials Testing Facility.[11] While en route to Chi Ceti IV aboard the UNSC Commonwealth, they were attacked by the Unrelenting, a Covenant warship.[12] The Commonwealth was able to ward off the Unrelenting and the Spartans were deployed to Chi Ceti IV with Halsey, where they each received a set of armor.[13] While the Spartans were returning to the Commonwealth via Pelican dropship, the Unrelenting re-engaged the frigate. To save the Commonwealth, John had Naomi and the other Spartan-IIs use thruster packs in an attempt to board the alien vessel, and destroy it with Anvil-II AS missiles. However, only John-117, Kelly-087, and Samuel-034 made it aboard. Naomi and the others missed the Unrelenting, but were picked up after the battle.[14]
Netherop[edit]
- Main article: Skirmish over Netherop
By early 2526, Naomi had been assigned to Gold Team, which was then led by Joshua-029. On March 5 of that year, Naomi, her team, and eight other Spartans were organized into an assault squad led by John-117 with orders to board and capture a Covenant frigate, Radiant Arrow, orbiting the planet Netherop. To accomplish this, they were deployed from the prowler UNSC Starry Night for an EVA boarding action.[15] Using a flight of Elsedda-pattern Banshees for cover, the Spartans stealthily approached the alien vessel.[16] They boarded the frigate via its underslung hangar and eliminated the Covenant forces stationed there without the rest of crew realizing they had been boarded. As Blue and Green Teams pushed further into the alien vessel, John instructed Gold Team to collect weapons and corpses to pile into the Banshees, which would be pushed into space for ONI to recover and study. Once that task was completed, Naomi and her teammates acted as support for Blue and Green, watching their backs. As the two forward teams continued on, a sensor operator aboard one of the prowlers "accidentally" broadcast a transmission on the Spartans' SQUADCOM, revealing their presence to the frigate's crew. Unbeknownst to them, the crewman's apparent mistake was part of an insurrectionist plot designed by Hector Nyeto, who intended to get the Spartans killed. With their presence known, Blue and Green Teams split up, with John leading his team to the bridge. Meanwhile, Gold Team was caught in a prolonged firefight with some of the crew. When t
