In the late stages of the Human-Covenant War, or the earliest years of the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war]] era, Omega Team was involved in the testing of numerous "[[Breach attachments|Breach]]" development iterations on the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|MJOLNIR Mark VI]] platform.

===Post-war service=== | |||
Decades after Red Team's last encounter with them, Commander Jerome-092 discerned that Omega Team had survived the war based on UNSC records recovered from the [[Henry Lamb Research Outpost]].{{Ref/Reuse|Know-Scope}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=Hippo|Halo: Hippocratica}} By [[2560]], August-099 had become the leader of Omega Team. In this year, the team was deployed to Arcadia once again, this time with goal of observing a deal between [[Adam Andrews]]—the CEO of [[Optican]]—and [[Kig-Yar]] working for [[Nor Fel]]. After a successful handoff between the two parties amid [[Forerunner]] [[Arcadia Forerunner ruins|ruins]], August eliminated a trio of Kig-Yar with her [[M99A2S3 Stanchion]] while Leon-011 rushed for their [[Phantom]] and Robert-025 secured the aliens' prize: the [[focus cannon]] of a [[Type-29 Scarab]]. After clearing the Phantom of hostiles, Leon checked the cargo manifest, revealing that the Kig-Yar had supplied Andrews with [[rumbledrug]] and leading August to remember the [[Insurrectionist]]s' use of the drugs in [[2527]] on [[Hellas]] as an attempt to even the odds against Spartans. With their objective complete, Omega Team left the area.{{Ref/Reuse|Hippo}} | |||
