Team Saber

Team Saber is a United Nations Space Command SPARTAN-III Gamma Company military element. They are one of the finest fire teams in Gamma Company of the SPARTAN-III project.

Introduction
Team Saber is the equivalent of Blue Team in the SPARTAN-III project's Gamma Company. At around age 7, these orphaned children chose to became SPARTANs, and were sent to the  SPARTAN-III training camp on the planet Onyx. After all of the members survived the biomodification process, Saber Team graduated from the SPARTAN-III training program on February 20, 2551. As they were one of the highest-ranked teams in the program, they stayed on Onyx to participate in a friendly fight with Team Gladius and Team Katana to see who would claim top honors.

Ghosts of Onyx
During a training exercise, Team Saber was attacked by what appeared to be artillery fire. After retreating behind the Zone 67 fence, they ran into Onyx Sentinels, their previous assailants. After a sporadic firefight, Saber learned about the strange nature of these Forerunner constructs and retreated to the jungle to lay low for a time.

The squad joined the remaining Blue Team members, Kurt, Fred, Linda, Will, and Kelly, to help Dr. Catherine Halsey recover crucial Forerunner technology rumored to be buried below the surface of Onyx. After a stealth entry, the Spartans rescued the stasis-sleeping Team Katana member. They managed to escape detection by the Sentinels, but were attacked by a massive Covenant invasion fleet and forced to fall back to the "Shield" entry room. A drawn-out battle ensued, and the super-soldiers killed many Covenant troops, losing only three of their own. Kurt-051 ordered the surviving Spartans through the entry, then destroyed the gate, sacrificing himself for their safety and killing the Covenant invasion commander. Team Saber's last known location is inside the micro-Dyson sphere that is contained beneath Onyx.
