E2-BAG/1/7

E2-BAG/1/7, or First Battalion, Seventh Regiment from Eridanus II, is a UNSC Marine Corps unit.

Operational history
After Eridanus II had fallen in 2530, the unit was apparently reassigned to defend other human colonies. Following the Battle of Reach in 2552, elements of E2-BAG/1/7 were reassigned to New Mombasa, Earth along with other units as a part of the UNSC's efforts to bolster the defenses of Earth's tether cities. During the Battle of Earth, the Third Squad from the Kilo Company of E2-BAG/1/7 fought alongside MCPO John-117 in New Mombasa. The Spartan later met Kilo Company's commanding officer, Lieutenant Parisa, in the unit's command post at Palace Hotel where they planned a counterattack to retake the city's industrial center from the Covenant and destroy a Scarab.

Trivia

 * E2-BAG/1/7 was interviewed by Dr. Robert McLees on multiple UNSC and Covenant vehicles and firearms that appear in Halo 3. Some of these interviews were posted on Bungie.net's front page.
 * They are known as one of the "ghost battalions" of Eridanus II. This may be a reference to them still retaining the planetary designation "E2" despite the planet having been glassed a long ago.
