Majestic, consisting of five members, was assigned to the in early 2558 and are stationed at the Forerunner shield world Requiem during the ongoing hostilities.

History
Sometime before 2558, Fireteam Majestic, minus Gabriel Thorne, were deployed to Rio de Janeiro. In February 2558, Majestic was deployed to Requiem. On February 7, Commander Sarah Palmer assigned the squad to a mission in the sector Req-931-B. Sometime later, Fireteams Crimson and Majestic were sent north of the UNSC's area of operations on Requiem in order to shut down Forerunner power generators. Upon reaching their location, both Crimson and Majestic had their long-range communications jammed by Forerunner jamming devices. After deactivating the jammers, their mission continued. Initiated by Palmer, the mission became a competition for the fireteams to see who could complete their mission objectives first. Majestic took the lead at first, but were ultimately bested by Crimson.

Sometime later, Fireteam Majestic was being engaged by multiple Promethean Crawlers. Madsen started to complain about their ability to "pop up" anywhere, when a Promethean Knight teleported into the area. Thorne tried to warn Madsen, but he was shot in the shoulder, as more Knights entered the area. Hoya suddenly broke cover and charged at the Knights. While DeMarco yelled for him to get back into cover, he killed several before one managed to injure him. Nevertheless, Majestic managed to defeat the Knights and return back to the Infinity. Commander Palmer met them in the hangar to see how they had done.

Madsen and Demarco were later assigned to guard Catherine Halsey along with Commander Sarah Palmer upon her return to the Infinity. Later, Thorne volunteered to guard her during her research. During the UNSC's pursuit of Jul 'Mdama, Fireteams Crimson and Majestic were sent to two possible locations to search for him. Majestic engaged a large Covenant force and managed to corner them before the survivors mysteriously disappeared. Grant would soon figure out that they used Slipspace translocation to escape, which allowed Crimson to find a way to pursue 'Mdama.

Sometime during the operation in recovering the "Didact's Gift" from Galileo Base, Majestic was pinned down due to Covenant air support. With the base air defenses offline, Thorne quickly hijacked a Banshee and destroyed a nearby Phantom, allowing the Fireteam to return to the Infinity.
