Gray Team was formed from the three Spartan-II candidates who proved the most difficult to control during training. This manifested in resistance to indoctrination, numerous escape attempts, and a lack of social integration with other personnel. This disruptive behavior was costly, resulted in injuries to trainers, and the theft and destruction of at least one [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropship]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''pages 76-78''</ref> Being unconventional recruits in an unconventional project, the decision was made to train the trio separately from the others and form them into their own unit. Together, these Spartans would come together to form Gray Team, with Jai as the leader.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 80''</ref> | |||
===Early Human-Covenant War=== | |||
In [[2525#November|November 2525]] members of Gray Team were briefed on the [[First Battle of Harvest|massacre]] that took place on [[Harvest]] shortly after first contact with the [[Covenant]]. A short time later, the {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}}, under the command of [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Wallace]], brought Spartans and [[Dr. Halsey]] to the [[Damascus Testing Facility]] at [[Chi Ceti IV]], where they were to receive the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|MJOLNIR powered armor]] for the first time.<ref name="for141">'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 141'' (2010)</ref> When a Covenant ship, the ''[[Unrelenting]]'', attacked the ''Commonwealth'', Gray Team, as well as any other active Spartan-II, took part in their [[Battle of Chi Ceti|first engagement]] with the Covenant. The Spartans used thruster packs to launch themselves from a Pelican dropship. Each Spartan carried an [[ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile|ANVIL-II warhead]] to be used against the Covenant ship.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 147-150'' (2010)</ref> However they missed the ship and only [[Blue Team]] managed to board the vessel through a puncture in its hull, caused by a [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] round from the ''Commonwealth''. They succeeded in completing the mission and destroyed the Covenant ship. | |||
