Silver Team is a unit of the SPARTAN-II program under the command of UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command. It consists of Riz-028, Kai-125, and Vannak-134. During the Human-Covenant War, they originally made up half of a six member roster of Omega Team. This composition was present at the Battle for Arcadia in 2531 and operations on Hellas in 2540 before being assigned to Silver Team shortly afterwards. They participated in the Fall of Reach as part of team Delta-Red.[1][2]
Team Composition[edit]
Prior to the team's formation in 2540, all three members were previously part of Omega Team's roster in 2531 and again in 2540.[1]
Operational History[edit]
Human-Covenant War[edit]
In 2540, Omega Team was deployed for operations on Hellas. The team consisted of it's former roster that was present at the Battle for Arcadia in 2531. The members of this composition included Leon-011, Robert-025, August-099, Riz-028, Kai-125, and Vannak-134. With the latter three being assigned to Silver Team shortly afterwards.[1]
Fall of Reach[edit]
During the Fall of Reach, all of Silver Team's Spartans were deployed to the ground of the planet, after originally being assembled to partake in Operation: RED FLAG. They were assigned as part of Red Team during the planet's defence, though after making landfall, Red Team was split by Frederic-104 into four smaller splinter teams, each with an individual objective. All three members of Silver Team made up the core of Delta-Red alongside Vinh-030, Isaac-039, William-043, and four Marine survivors of Charlie Company.[2][3] Together they were tasked with reaching CASTLE Base via two Warthogs where they would then proceed to secure a fallback point for the rest of the other splinter teams.[3] However, Silver Team would be separated from the rest of the unit and not reach CASTLE Base. Ultimately they managed to survive the Fall of Reach and went on to continue service in the post-war era.[2]
Post-war era[edit]
At some point during the post-war era, the GEN2 variant of the Mark VI MOD armor, more specifically the helmet's X60 Protective Suite filter pack and up-armor attachment, underwent field tests by Silver and Gold Team. Whether it's supposed to be this composition of Silver Team or possibly a combination of two teams as one singular unit remains unknown.[4]

Silver Team is a SPARTAN-II unit under the Asymmetric Warfare Research Group within the United Nations Space Command. The team consists of Riz-028, Kai-125, and Vannak-134, as well as John-117, their team leader.[5][6]
Production notes[edit]
First appearing Halo: The Television Series, Silver Team's designations, backgrounds, and names were pulled from 343 Industries' internal documentation for the core canon Spartan-II program.[1][5] When Riz-028, Kai-125, and Vannak-134 were formally introduced to the core canon and identified as the three yet-to-be-named members of Omega Team seen in Halo Wars, Silver Team was also canonized as the team formed by the core canon incarnations Riz, Kai, and Vannak after being reassigned off of Omega Team.[1]
