SPARTAN-III Beta Company

Beta Company is the second generation of SPARTAN-IIIs.

Summary
Beta Company was created after the death of Spartan-III Alpha Company, which, due to its success, Beta Company was given funding. This company is created by Colonel James Ackerson, and trained, supervised, by Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose. This company of Spartans was sent to Onyx, and begans its training in 2539 at Camp Currahee. Kurt regretted not teaching Alpha Company unit coordination, and inflicted that upon Beta Company with gusto. As well, because he didn't make the previous class flexible enough, he reflected that by forcing them. This company's supervising AI, Endless Summer, is unlike the Alpha Company, Deep Winter, who actually cared about them and frequently advised Kurt not to be too hard on them, he didn't care much for the SPARTAN-IIIs and Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose. There were 418 candidates, but only 300 "graduated" and became Spartans.

Combat History
In Operation TORPEDO, Beta Company was send to destroy a Covenant refinery on Pegasi Delta on 1135 HOURS, JULY 3, 2545. They started the mission in pods that can launch out of Slipspace, and landed quickly. However, their elements of surprise was compromised and their only viable option was to destroy the refinery quickly. The company had nine losses, killed from the landing. They then proceeded to attack, on their sprint towards the Covenant factory several Covenant-Seraph fighters bombarded the SPARTAN-IIIs and took out dozens. Only one team, Team Foxtrot, succeeded in getting to the refinery. The remaining 200 SPARTAN-IIIs were occupied with the coming force of thousands Covenant troops attacking them in open field combat. HIGHCOM executed code Omega Three to break and run no matter the costs, when he saw the sky darkened with black clouds where afterwards 7 Covenant cruisers appeared from. They blocked their retreat by dropping hundreds of Elites behind them with their transport beams and surround Beta Company. Team Foxtrot sabotaged the reactor causing it to blow, and finished the mission. They had succeeded, but at a great cost: all of Beta Company was massacred with the exception of Tom and Lucy, from Team Foxtrot, who managed to live by jumping into the water. They were only children.
