105th Shock Troops Division

The 105th Orbital Drop Shock Trooper Division is a UNSC Marine Corps ODST unit. It is highly regarded as one of the best Marine divisions in the UNSC Defense Force.

Background
Members of the 105th possessed 'exceptional' Esprit de Corps and immense pride and distinction in their unit, reflected by the customary comet-and-skull tattoo each received. Their motto, "Jump Feet First Into Hell", coupled with their employment of Human Entry Vehicles, earned them the nickname of "Helljumpers".

The 105th was infamous for its brutality, even toward fellow human troops. On one occasion, ODSTs from the 105th were involved in a fight with SPARTAN-117, resulting in two ODST deaths and two ODST injuries.

History
The 105th was around as early as 2525. Detachments of the Marines have been on a number of ships, including the UNSC Atlas. In 2552 Subordinate Units (meaning company or platoon level units ) of the 105th were stationed on the Pillar of Autumn and fought in the Battle of Installation 04. The unit was the 22nd ODST Battalion, which was instrumental in frustrating Covenant attempts to purge the Halo of humans. Other sub-units of the 105th were stationed on the In Amber Clad and participated in the First battle of Earth and on the Battle of Installation 05. A sub-unit of the 105th was stationed on Forward Unto Dawn and participated in the Battle of the Ark.
