Concerning the issue of Thel being a commander in the Battle of Viery, I guess that depends on how we define commander. Do we know if the fleet exiting slipspace just after the ''Solace'' was destroyed was a conscious action, or merely a coincidence? Further to the point, do we even know if Thel was behind all the entire attack on Reach? While he led a major naval force, it's possible that he either arrived later, or someone else orchestrated the whole "advance force" strategy and commanded the ''Long Night of Solace''. In fact, it seems reasonable that a ship of that size would have its own commander who may have been a Supreme Commander as well. Thel was, obviously, part of all this, but there doesn't seem to be solid evidence that he was actively participating in the command of the operation at this point. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 09:45, 20 December 2010 (EST) | Concerning the issue of Thel being a commander in the Battle of Viery, I guess that depends on how we define commander.

That seems to be the case. There are so many Spartans that have apparently served in different teams that it's reasonable to believe that most of the time, they're simply arrangements made for each mission. Although some newer sources seem to imply the existence of pre-designated teams that have been together since their training. Gray Team worked together since their childhood, and so did Black. In addition, ''Blood Line'' has a four-member "Red Team" that's implied to be working as a consistent unit during the Spartans' training days. | |||
I think the Red and Blue teams in ''The Fall of Reach'' and ''Ghosts of Onyx'', for example, are a lot like you described, teams formed differently on each mission. Then there are apparently certain color-designated teams that the Spartans were divided into at some point in their training. The more special-operations oriented teams (ie. Gray, Black) would retain these arrangements later in their career, while the mainline Spartans would form teams freely depending on each mission. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 11:28, 27 December 2010 (EST) | |||
