'''Boomerang Company''', also known as '''B Company'''<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/stay-frosty '''Waypoint''': ''Stay Frosty'']</ref>, is an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] [[company]] in the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], embedded within the [[9th Shock Troopers Battalion]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. They consider themselves to be the UNSC's most elite force of ODSTs.

==History==
===Human-Covenant War===
Boomerang Company was present on the modified {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}} on [[2531|February 4, 2531]] when it arrived at the [[Outer Colony]] of [[Harvest]] to fight the Covenant's [[Fleet of Glorious Interdiction]] there and, over the following weeks, witnessed the [[Battle for Arcadia]] and the [[Battle of the Etran Harborage]]. After the ship's [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|Shaw-Fujikawa translight engine]] was sacrificed to destroy the Harborage, the members of the company entered [[cryostasis]] along with the rest of the crew.

===Post War===
Over twenty-eight years later on March 28, [[2559]], Boomerang and everyone else were awakened to find themselves drifting above the extragalactic [[Installation 00]], also known as the Ark.<ref name="Alice Report">'''Halo Wars 2''', ''[[Phoenix Logs]]'' – "Alice-130 Report #1"</ref> There, the vessel's forces were forced to contend with the [[Banished]], a heavily-armed faction of ex-Covenant that sought to control the Ark largely due to its capacity for producing [[Halo]] superweapons. 

After the departure of [[Installation 09|a newly-created]] [[Halo ring]] put it beyond the Banished's grasp on [[2559|April 2, 2559]], the [[Mgalekgolo]] pair known as [[Colony]] hatched a plot which [[James Cutter]], captain of the ''Spirit of Fire'', had no choice but to respond to. Sunray 1-1, the lead element of Boomerang, was tasked with stopping Colony's scheme as part of [[Operation: SPEARBREAKER]], in addition to participating in several other missions on the installation.<ref name="CF100">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder #100: Sweet Centennial'']</ref>
