Charlie Company: Difference between revisions

'''Charlie Company''' was a [[United Nations Space Command]] [[Marine]] unit stationed on [[Reach]]. Their exploits are mentioned in ''[[Halo: First Strike]]''. They were ordered by [[Admiral Whitcomb]] to get the [[Nova]] Bombs, weapons so powerful that they could turn the tides in space battles and had enough explosive energy to destroy whole planets. They used handheld weapons, [[Warthog]]s, [[Scorpion Tank|Scorpions]], and [[Gun Turret]]s. They were led by [[Lieutenant Buckman]] and [[Lieutenant Jake Chapman]]. During the fight, an air-strike was called to bomb the [[Covenant]] soldiers, though the [[Longsword]] pilots messed up and bombed many of the soldiers, killing Buckman. Chapman, with help via radio from [[Admiral Whitcomb]], pulled his men together and fought back against the [[Covenant]], killing many of them. The remaining troops eventually defeated the aliens, though at the end of the battle, only a Corporal and three Marines were alive out of two hundred men.<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]]- Chapters 1-3</ref> They were later found by [[Spartan-029]] (Joshua), [[Spartan-087]] (Kelly), [[Spartan-104]] (Fred), and the remaining Spartans. After telling [[Fred]] about their battle, they were ordered to reach a rendezvous point in two warthogs with the six wounded [[Spartans]]. This team of [[Marines]] and the Wounded [[Spartans]] was callsigned [[Team Delta]].

 

They were separated from the rest of [[Spartan-043]]'s team and lost contact. Their ultimate fate is unknown, but they were in the company of three other Spartans when they disappeared.
