| ==History== | | ==Behind the scenes== |
| In around July [[2556]], Fireteam Apollo was dispatched to the exclusion zone near [[Threshold]] in order to look for something as part of [[Operation: SHELL GAME]]. The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] was intimately involved in this operation, which also was related to information gathered in [[Kenya]] during the [[Battle for Earth]] in [[2552]]. The mission was in direct violation of the [[Treaty of 2552]] made between the [[UEG]] and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. Apollo recovered the black-box from the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} ''[[Undiminished Entelechy]]''. From this, a recorded conversation between [[Supreme Commander]] [[Thel 'Vadamee]] and the [[Prophet of Stewardship]] was found. In addition, data gathered by Apollo was used to construct two [[War Games]] environments based around the battlecruiser.<ref>'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''', ''[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #3]]''</ref>
| | Fireteam Apollo is the in-universe explanation for ''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''.<ref name="Crate"/> The story of Fireteam Apollo will be told throughout the released Loot Crates and possibly in other future media. Apollo will be similar to ''[[Spartan Ops]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki> [[Fireteam Crimson]] in which the identities of the fireteam's members will be unknown to the audience to allow fans to immerse themselves into roles as Spartans of Apollo.<ref name="crown jul"/> 92738-62842-LC's initials "LC" are a reference to Loot Crate. |

| On June 8 [[2557]], Fireteam Apollo was [[Mission to the Korinth Prior system|dispatched]] aboard the ONI [[prowler]] {{UNSCShip|Taurokado}} to the [[Korinth Prior system]]. There, the team discovered evidence of the long-lost {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} in the debris of [[Trove]]. While surveying the debris field, Apollo was dispatched aboard [[F-41 Broadsword]]s to engage a hostile [[Covenant remnant]] [[battlegroup]]. After destroying two waves of [[Type-31 Seraph|Seraph fighters]], Fireteam Apollo returned to the prowler, which launched a sensor buoy and fled the system.<ref>'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''', ''[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #4]]''</ref>

| | |
| Sometime prior to July 21, 2557, Fireteam Apollo was sent to the [[Ark]] for Recon for 576.7 hours based out of the [[Henry Lamb Research Outpost]], where they found a [[Type-31 records module]] from the [[Covenant frigate|frigate]] ''[[Twilight Compunction]]''.<ref>'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''', ''[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #5]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| Throughout 2557, Fireteam Apollo came into conflict with the crew of the [[salvager]] ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' while trying to help ONI recover [[343 Guilty Spark]], particularly team leader [[Dylan Novak]]. Fireteam Apollo faced off with the ''Ace of Spades'' crew on [[Binterall]] and [[Mission to Mount Kilimanjaro|beneath]] [[Mount Kilimanjaro]] on Earth. In the latter encounter, Spark unexpectedly returned to help and brought a rocky outcropping down on the team and an ONI special ops team's heads, forcing them to retreat long enough for the crew to escape using a [[teleportation grid|translocation pad]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Renegades]]'''</ref>
| |
| | |
| In December 2557, Novak was tipped off by [[Rion Forge]] to the location of [[Gek 'Lhar]] in the hopes that the team could stop the [[Sangheili]] commander.<ref>'''[[Halo: Renegades]]''', ''Epilogue''</ref>
| |
| | |
| In September [[2558]], 92738-61842-LC joined the team, and the whole team was assigned to {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.<ref>'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''', ''[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #1]]''</ref>
