'''India Company''', contingents of which have also at times been referred to as '''Fire Team India'''{{Ref/Reuse|Genesis}} or '''Recon Team India''',{{Ref/Reuse|AS}} is a [[Company|unit]] of the [[United Nations Space Command]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]]. | |||
==History== | |||
In early [[2531]], India Company was assigned to the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, a refitted [[Phoenix-class colony ship|''Phoenix''-class support vessel]] attached to the [[UNSC Navy]]'s [[Third Fleet]]. On February 4 of that year the ship arrived at [[Harvest]] in the [[Epsilon Indi]] system with intent to survey the situation on the planet and to aid the {{UNSCShip|Prophecy}}, a {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}} that had been crippled in battle with the [[Covenant]]'s [[Fleet of Glorious Interdiction]]. Fire Team India was among four marine units that were scrambled to board the ''Prophecy'' in the midst of an ongoing fight with a few Covenant ships. All together, fire teams India, [[Fire Team Echo|Echo]], [[Fire Team Lima|Lima]], and [[Fire Team November|November]] were able to successfully purge the navigation database of the ''Prophecy'' and rescue those survivors that remained aboard, though these all died shortly thereafter as a result of radiation poisoning contracted during time spent on the damaged ship.<ref name="Genesis">'''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'''</ref> | |||
Later that month, on February 23, a small group of marines from the company were designated "Recon Team India" and deployed to the out surface of a mysterious world the ''Spirit of Fire'' had followed a Covenant ship carrying [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] and Professor [[Ellen Anders]] to. India and another recon team, Recon Team Echo, were tasked with the scouting of potential sites for the establishment of [[firebase]]s. The team made the journey over the alien planet's terrain in an [[M312 Elephant]]. After halting their progress and beginning to unpack the mobile platform, the recon team came under attack from a [[Flood|parasitic lifeform]]. A member of India was in the middle of communicating with the ''Spirit of Fire'' when he and the rest of the team were consumed by the creatures. However, UNSC forces managed to retrieve their Elephant.<ref name="AS">'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level, ''[[Anders' Signal]]''</ref> | |||
Following the destruction of the installation known to the [[Forerunners]] as [[Trove]], those that remained of India Company entered [[cryostasis]] due to the sacrifice of the ''Spirit'''s [[slipspace drive]] to deny the [[shield world]]'s treasures to the Covenant. For over twenty-eight years the marines slept until on [[2559#March|March 28, 2559]], they were awakened with the rest of those aboard by a subroutine left behind by the former shipboard [[A.I.]], [[Serina]]. Just over a month later, [[Captain]] [[James Cutter]] authorized India Company to reinforce [[Sunray 1-1]], an elite team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] from [[Boomerang Company]], during [[Operation: SPEARBREAKER]].<ref name="Gatecrashers">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Gatecrashers]]''</ref> On May 1, the marines fought the forces of the [[Banished]] and Forerunner [[sentinel]] constructs on [[Installation 00]] during the operation. With help from Sunray 1-1, they were able to prevent the [[Mgalekgolo]] pair known as [[Colony]] from launching a Forerunner {{Class|Despair|fighter}} at the ''Spirit of Fire''.<ref name="Not On My Watch">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Not on My Watch]]''</ref> | |||
