SPARTAN-III Beta Company: Difference between revisions

Beta Company was created after the death of Spartan-III Alpha Company, which, due to its success, Beta Company was given funding. This company is created by Colonel Ackerson, and trained, supervised, by [[Kurt-051|Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose]]. This company of Spartans was sent to Onyx, and begans its training in [[2539]] at [[Camp Currahee]]. Kurt regretted not teaching [[Alpha Company]] unit coordination, and inflicted that upon Beta Company with gusto. As well, because he didn't make the previous class flexible enough, he reflected that by forcing them  This company's supervising AI, is, unlike the Alpha Company, Deep Winter, who actually cared about them and frequently advised Kurt not to be too hard on them. There were 418 candidates, but only 300 "graduated" and became Spartans. In [[Operation TORPEDO]], Beta Company was told to destroy a [[Covenant]] refinery on [[Pegasi Delta]] in [[2545]]. They started the mission in pods that can launch out of slipspace, and landed quickly. However, their elements of suprise was compromised and their only viable option was to destroy the refinery quickly. The company had three losses, killed from the landing. They then proceeded to attack, but only one team, Team Foxtrot, succeeded in getting to the refinery. The rest were too busy attacking. They were going well, and were on their way, when the Omega 3 code was executed, which meant they were to drop the mission and run. Howeverm they weren't able to as seven Covenant Capital ships came down adn attacked. Team Foxtrot sabotaged the reactor causing it to blow, and finished the mission. They had succeded, but at a great cost: all of Beta Company was massacred with the exception of [[Tom-B292|Tom]] and [[Lucy-B091|Lucy]], from Team Foxtrot, who managed to live by jumping into the water. They wield MA5K Assault Rifles, SRS99C-S2AM Sniper rifle, and M-19B SAM Rocket Launchers. They are strong enough to break Elites' neck. They are divided up into Fireteams of four. They use SPI Mk-I armours and have medical kits. Their exfiltration option was to use a Black Cat prowler.
