*'''Comms Officer''': ''"When reflecting the incredible challenges humanity has endure ever the past several decades, it can be easy to fixate on the Spartans, heroes that in many ways larger than life, and who seemingly accomplish the impossible time and time again. But while the Spartans have rightly earned our unending adoration, there are countless others on the front lines of the UNSC's heroic efforts who are equally as deserving of our gratitude and respect. A perfect example of this are the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, or ODSTs."'' | |||
*'''Comms Officer''': ''"Ofter referred to as "helljumpers", these fearless men and women stand in the face of both risk and reason, hurtling through a planet's atmosphere and slamming onto its surface in human entry vehicles called [[Drop pod|drop pods]]. ODSTs are often called in when the hour is darkest and the outlook bleakest - raining fire down from the heavens in a desperate effort to turn the tide of battle - or behind enemy lines to strike an opponent where they're most vulnerable. For these indomitable souls, "Feet First into Hell" isn't just a motto, it's a way of life."'' | |||
*'''Comms Officer''': ''"One of the most recent, notable examples came on October 20, 2552, when the ODST squad [[Alpha-Nine]], landed in [[New Mombasa]] on [[Earth]] to undertake a mission of utmost significance. Led by squad leader [[Edward Buck]], and [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] operative [[Veronica Dare]], Alpha-Nine dropped into Covenant-occupied territory to retrieve [[Quick to Adjust|an asset]] vital to the UNSC war effort. Names like "[[Taylor Miles|Dutch]]", "[[Kojo Agu|Romeo]]", "[[Michael Crespo|Mickey]]" and "[[Rookie|the Rookie]], would become the stuff of legends throughout their ranks; their heroism helping ensure humanity's defense of Earth and further solidifying the ODST's place on the battlefield."'' | |||
