History

C Company was one of four companies present within Major Silva's ODST battalion when the Pillar of Autumn arrived at Installation 04 on September 19, 2552. They took part in the defense of the cruiser from Covenant boarding parties before landing on the ringworld via SOEIV. They organised under Major Silva and were assigned to hike to a landing zone where several pilots of the 23rd Naval Air Squadron had landed their D77-TC Pelican dropships. From there, the company would be inserted onto the top of the butte comprising Alpha Base. They would hike overnight while McKay's B Company proceeded to get in position for the attack, and join the battle following McKay's commencement of the fighting.

By the time of John-117's destruction of the ringworld, C Company was destroyed.
