During their deployment to Pirth City the team's male members were armed with anti-tank weapons: two wielded [[M6 Spartan Laser]]s and the other two used four-tubed rocket launchers of an unknown model. Both female members carried [[AIE-486H machine gun]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Outskirts}} Along with Red Team they field-tested the earliest known iteration of [[energy shielding]] technology with their [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV#Advanced Hardware Prototype|MJOLNIR powered armor]].<ref name="EVG">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 119'': ''"Energy shielding was a key feature of Mark V, although other Spartan squads had field-tested prototypes of this technology as early as 2531."''</ref> | ||
A later incarnation of the team, whose survival was discerned by the crew of the ''Spirit of Fire'' in [[2559]] from UNSC records on [[Installation 00|the Ark]], consisted of three members; Leon-011, Robert-025, and August-099, armed with an [[energy sword]], a portable [[plasma cannon]], and an [[ARC-920]] railgun, respectively.{{Ref/Reuse|knowscope}} | |||

When the planet [[Arcadia]] [[Battle for Arcadia|fell under attack]] by the [[Covenant]] on February 9, 2531, Team Omega was deployed to an unknown location on the planet; the three members of Red Team ([[Jerome-092|Jerome]], [[Alice-130|Alice]], and [[Douglas-042|Douglas]]) were meanwhile tasked with defending the capital, [[Pirth City]].<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Arcadia City]]''</ref> Team Omega was eventually redirected to the outskirts of Pirth City to reinforce Red Team and the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] from the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. Following a twenty-minute delay Team Omega reinforced their beleaguered comrades and swiftly drove the Covenant from the capital.{{Ref/Reuse|Outskirts}} | |||
During the late stages of the [[Human-Covenant War]], or the earliest years of the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war]] era, Omega team were involved in the testing of numerous "[[Breach attachments|Breach]]" development iterations on the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|MJOLNIR Mark VI]] platform. These field tests were successful, and saw improvements folded into later [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2]] and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|GEN3]] productions.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFFood|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-food-for-thought|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Food for Thought|D=07|M=10|Y=2022}} | |||
At some point following the [[New Phoenix Incident]] in [[2557#July|July 2557]], the [[Forerunner]] legal entity known as [[Catalog]] took note of Red and Omega Teams. Catalog stated that personally identifying information about the Spartans in question could not be revealed pending the investigation of Red Team's actions in the [[Battle of Trove]].<ref name="Catalog">{{Plain|[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2964856_Who-made-up-Red-Team-Omega.aspx#post2964856'''Halo Waypoint''': ''Catalog'']}} - Query Answer: [[UNSC Navy|Naval]] and [[Office of Naval Intelligence|[frumentarii]]] records identify six [exploratores] in Omega Team, three [exploratores] in Red Team. Personally identifying information is currently not accessible due to pending inquiry into events at [[Trove|[conservation sphere] 0459]].</ref> However, during the [[Second Ark Conflict]], UNSC records recovered from the [[Henry Lamb research outpost]] showed that Team Omega had survived the Human-Covenant War.{{Ref/Reuse|knowscope}} | |||

Spartan units from Team Omega appear only in the fifth ''[[Halo Wars]]'' campaign level of ''[[Arcadia Outskirts]]''. They are essentially clones in gameplay terms: all six members share voice files with and carry the same weapons as the named members of Red Team. The player must fend off Covenant attacks for 20 minutes until the arrival of Team Omega, which then triggers the final objective of destroying the [[Covenant citadel]]. | Spartan units from Team Omega appear only in the fifth ''[[Halo Wars]]'' campaign level of ''[[Arcadia Outskirts]]''.

Three members of Team Omega, including Leon-011, Robert-025, and August-099, are available as special units when playing as leader Commander Jerome-092 from the [[downloadable content]] "Icons of War" Pack. In addition to being armed with different weapons, each Spartan unit is equipped with energy shielding and capable of [[Boarding (gameplay mechanic)|boarding]] enemy vehicles. They can only be accessed through Commander Jerome's Leader Power Omega Team Drop, and cannot be dropped again until all Team Omega members are killed. Omega Team can only be accessed once Tier 5 Leader Power is unlocked and it takes 1 Leader Point to assign them. | Three members of Team Omega, including Leon-011, Robert-025, and August-099, are available as special units when playing as leader Commander Jerome-092 from the [[downloadable content]] "Icons of War" Pack.

*Five Spartans identified as "Spartan Group Omega" appear at the end of the [[Halo Wars announcement trailer|announcement trailer]] for ''[[Halo Wars]]''. They wear an early design design of the Mjolnir Mark IV that was abandoned later in the game's development. This design had much bulkier armor plating and a helmet reminiscent of the [[Mark VI]], whereas the final version's helmet closely resembles that of the [[Mark V]]. | |||

*Team Omega's designation is something of an anomaly. All of the major Spartan-II teams follow a color-themed naming convention, with [[Blue Team|Blue]], [[Red Team|Red]], [[Green Team|Green]], [[Black Team|Black]] and [[Gray Team|Gray]] teams known. During the [[Fall of Reach]], Red Team split into various sub-units with designations based on the Greek alphabet, suggesting Omega may have been a splinter of Red or some other major team; however, their official description suggests they are a more permanent formation.{{Ref/Reuse|knowscope}} | *Team Omega's designation is something of an anomaly.
