Team Omega is a fast reaction unit of SPARTAN-II supersoldiers. During the Human-Covenant War, they were deployed to defend human colonies under attack by the Covenant, their roles including the reinforcement of local defenses to buy time for UNSC forces to respond, emergency evacuation, and various asset denial operations.[5][2][6]

Known members[edit]

During the Battle of Arcadia in February 2531, Omega contained six members: Leon-011, Robert-025, August-099, Vannak-134, Riz-028, and Kai-125.[7] During their deployment to Arcadia City, four members were armed with anti-tank weapons; two wielded M6 Spartan Lasers and the other two used four-tubed rocket launchers of an unknown model. The other two members carried AIE-486H machine guns.[4] Along with Red Team, they field-tested the earliest known iteration of energy shielding technology with their MJOLNIR powered armor.[8]

A later incarnation of the team, whose survival was discerned by the crew of the Spirit of Fire in 2559 from UNSC records on the Ark, consisted of Leon, Robert, and August, armed with an energy sword, a portable plasma cannon, and an ARC-920 railgun respectively.[5][2]

Human-Covenant War[edit]

Formed primarily for asset denial operations,[6] Omega Team is typically deployed with the goal of breaking the enemy's hold long enough in order to reinforce local defenses and buy time for a UNSC response. During the Human-Covenant War, Omega Team was deployed to several colony worlds threatened by the Covenant, assisting in emergency evacuation efforts and enacting classified last-stand protocols. The team proved highly proficient at the denial of critical resources, data, and even personnel to the Covenant by any means necessary, which sometimes required the deployment of weapons of mass destruction.[6] During the early years of the war, Omega Team and Red Team worked closely with each other on several occasions.[5][2]

At some point in 2527, Omega Team may have been deployed against Insurrectionist forces in an operation on <
