August-099 is a Spartan-II supersoldier and a member of Omega Team.[2]
Biography
Early childhood
Like the other SPARTAN-IIs, August-099 was abducted at age six and conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program in 2517. She later survived the augmentation procedures in 2525. Along with Robert-025 and Leon-011, August formed the Spartan-II fast reaction unit Omega Team.[2]
Career
During the Human-Covenant War, Omega Team was deployed to several colony worlds threatened by the Covenant. On many occasions Omega Team worked closely with the members of Red Team (Jerome-092, Alice-130, and Douglas-042), including the defense of Arcadia's capital city Pirth when it was attacked in 2531.[3] During the battle, they were separated when the UNSC Spirit of Fire departed the system to chase retreating Covenant forces.[4]
In the late stages of the Human-Covenant War, or the earliest years of the post-war era, Omega Team was involved in the testing of numerous "Breach" development iterations on the MJOLNIR Mark VI platform. These field tests were successful, and saw improvements folded into later GEN2 and GEN3 productions.[5] 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.[2]
Trivia
- In Halo Wars 2, despite having the "Explosive" in her alternate hero icon, she doesn't do any splash damage with her Railgun.

Notes
- ^ 343 Industries has noted that both the concept art and the final Halo Wars 2 in-game models of the three Omega Team members could be considered authoritative in some capacity, stating that "Discerning lore-lovers should feel free to consider both iterations fair game for expanding their imaginations." (Halo Waypoint news: Know-Scope)
