| {{Quote|Jump Feet First into Hell!|Official motto}}
| | The '''105th Orbital Drop Shock Trooper Division''' is a [[UNSC Marine Corps]] [[ODST]] unit. It is highly regarded as one of the best Marine divisions in the UNSC Defense Force. |
| The '''105th Shock Troops Division''', also known by the sobriquet "'''''Helljumpers'''''", is a formation of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]]. It is highly regarded by many to be one of the best divisions in the [[United Nations Space Command]] armed forces. The division's insignia is a "Gold Comet".<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 59'' (2011)</ref> | |

| ==Background== | | == Background == |
| Members of the 105th possess 'exceptional' ''esprit de corps'' and immense pride and distinction in their unit, reflected by the customary comet-and-skull tattoo each received. Their motto, ''"Jump Feet First into Hell!"'', coupled with their employment of [[drop pod]]s, has earned them the nickname "Helljumpers".
| |
|
| |
|
| The 105th is infamous for its brutality, even toward fellow human troops. On one occasion, ODSTs from the 105th were involved in a fight with the fourteen-year-old [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]], resulting in three ODST deaths and one severe injury.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 65-67''</ref><ref name="HtF">'''Halo: The Flood'''</ref>

| ==History== | | == History == |
| The 105th was instated as early as [[2525]], with detachments of the Helljumpers being stationed on a number of ships, including the ''[[UNSC Atlas]]''.<ref name="TFoR">'''Halo: The Fall of Reach'''</ref>
| |
|
| |
|
| The 105th were first deployed against the [[Covenant]] during the [[Battle of Hat Yai]] in late [[2528]] or early [[2529]]. Though the ODSTs sustained fairly light losses, [[Hat Yai|the planet]] was [[Glassing|glassed]].<ref name="Dirt">'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''Dirt''</ref> Elements of the 105th later participated in the [[Battle of Arcadia]], and the [[Battle of Trove]].<ref>'''Halo Wars'''</ref>{{Verify source}} In [[2535]], a small detachment of the 105th, assigned to the {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}} foiled a Covenant attempt to deceive the citizens of [[the Rubble]] during the [[Battle of Metisette]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol'''</ref> At some point during [[2544]],{{Ref/Site|Id=CFShocks|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-system-shocks|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - System Shocks|D=30|M=06|Y=2023}} a squad from the 105th Division was sent on an assassination mission to assassinate a [[Unidentified Prophet (Heian)|logistics Prophet]] on [[Heian]], aided by Spartan [[Cal-141]].<ref>'''Halo Legends:''' ''The Babysitter''</ref> In [[2547]], an element of the 105th Division took part in the [[Battle of Skopje]], defending a major ship construction firm from Covenant attack.{{Ref/Reuse|Dirt}} | | The 105th was around as early as [[2525]]. Detachments of the Marines have been on a number of ships, including the ''[[UNSC Atlas]]''. In [[2552]] Subordinate Units (meaning that they were minor ODST's if you call it) of the 105th were stationed on the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]'' and fought in the [[Battle of Installation 04]]. The unit was the 22nd ODST Battalion, which was instrumental in frustrating [[Covenant]] attempts to purge the Halo of humans. Other sub-units of the 105th were stationed on the ''[[In Amber Clad]]'' and participated in the First battle of Earth and on the [[Battle of Installation 05]]. |
|
| |
|
| In [[2552#January|January 2552]], a unit of the 105th was deployed to [[Ariel]] to enact [[Battle of Ariel|Operation: FIRESIDE]]. Ultimately, the Covenant were prevented from accessing [[the Knowing]], a [[Forerunner]] [[artificial intelligence]] beneath the colony.<ref>'''Halo: Helljumper'''</ref>

|
| During the [[Fall of Reach]] in summer 2552, several elements of the 105th were deployed across the planet, though they were unable to stop the Covenant onslaught. In [[2552#September|September]], subordinate units of the 105th stationed on the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, having survived the disaster at [[Reach]], fought in the [[Battle of Installation 04]]. These ODSTs were instrumental in frustrating Covenant attempts to purge the [[Installation 04|Halo]] of humans.{{Ref/Reuse|HtF}}<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved'''</ref> Later that month, 105th Division ODSTs attached to the [[26th Marine Expeditionary Force]] were almost completely annihilated during the [[Battle of New Jerusalem]].{{Ref/Reuse|Dirt}}<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST'''</ref>

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The 105th Division should not be confused with the [[105th Drop Jet Platoon]], which may have been similar to the ODSTs, albeit operating on a smaller scale.
| |
| *The number 105 is divisible by 7, possibly making it one of Bungie's many [[Seven|7]] references.
