At around age | At around age six, the orphaned children chose to become SPARTAN-IIIs, and were sent to [[Camp Currahee]] on the planet [[Onyx]]. After having survived the [[Project CHRYSANTHEMUM|bioaugmentation process]] on [[2551|February 20, 2551]], Team Saber graduated from the SPARTAN-III training program. As they were one of the highest-ranked teams in the program, they stayed on Onyx to participate in training exercises with [[Team Gladius|Teams Gladius]] and [[Team Katana|Katana]] to see who would claim top honors even after the rest of Gamma Company was deployed into combat in late 2552.<ref name="honors"/> | ||

After successfully destroying the Sentinel factory, the Spartans translocated to another section of Onyx, where they rescued the members of [[Team Katana]], who had been interred in suspended animation within Forerunner [[slipspace field pod]]s. Pursued by a massive [[Covenant]] army led by [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]], they were forced to fall back to the [[shield world]]'s [[Core room antechamber|entry room]] in Onyx's core. A drawn-out battle ensued, and the super-soldiers killed many Covenant troops, despite losing three of their own. Finally, Kurt ordered the surviving Spartans through the slipspace portal to the shield world and sacrificed himself for their safety by destroying the Covenant army that attempted to gain entrance to the shield world by detonating two [[FENRIS nuclear warhead]]s.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 352-372''</ref> | After successfully destroying the Sentinel factory, the Spartans translocated to another section of Onyx, where they rescued the members of [[Team Katana]], who had been interred in suspended animation within Forerunner [[slipspace field pod]]s.
