At around age | At around age seven, the orphaned children chose to become SPARTAN-IIIs, and were sent to [[Camp Currahee]] on the planet [[Onyx]]. After having survived the [[Project CHRYSANTHEMUM|bioaugmentation process]], Team Saber graduated from the SPARTAN-III training program on [[2551|February 20, 2551]]. As they were one of the highest-ranked teams in the program, they stayed on Onyx to participate in training exercises with [[Team Gladius|Teams Gladius]] and [[Team Katana|Katana]] to see who would claim top honors.<ref name="honors"/> | ||

During a training exercise, Team Saber was attacked by what appeared to be artillery fire. After retreating behind the [[Zone 67]] fence, they ran into their previous assailants which turned out to be [[Onyx Sentinel]]s. After a sporadic firefight, Saber learned about the strange nature of these Forerunner constructs and retreated to the jungle to lay low for a time.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 117-119''</ref> The team joined the remaining members of [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]], including [[Frederic-104|Fred]], [[Linda-058|Linda]], [[William-043|Will]], and [[Kelly-087|Kelly]], as well as [[Kurt Ambrose]], the | During a training exercise, Team Saber was attacked by what appeared to be artillery fire.

After entering a formerly buried Forerunner city within Zone 67 and discovering Onyx's [[Cartographer|map room]], Team Saber and the other Spartans were ordered by AI [[Endless Summer]] to destroy a [[Sentinel manufacturing facility]] near the northern pole of Onyx in order to halt the production of Sentinels and save the [[ | After entering a formerly buried Forerunner city within Zone 67 and discovering Onyx's [[Cartographer|map room]], Team Saber and the other Spartans were ordered by AI [[Endless Summer]] to destroy a [[Sentinel manufacturing facility]] near the northern pole of Onyx in order to halt the production of Sentinels and save the [[Battlegroup Stalingrad|UNSC battle group]] over Onyx. They succeeded in destabilizing the core systems of the factory thanks to a plan formulated by Team Saber's leader, Ash-G099, who proposed they use the production plant's [[teleportation grid]] to quickly move across the facility.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 313-324''</ref> | ||

Pursued by a massive [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] army led by [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]], they were forced to fall back to the [[shield world]]'s [[Core room antechamber|entry room]] in Onyx's core. A drawn-out battle ensued, and the super-soldiers killed many Covenant troops, despite losing three of their own. Finally, Kurt ordered the surviving Spartans through the slipspace portal to the shield world and sacrificed himself for their safety by destroying the Covenant army that attempted to gain entrance to the shield world by detonating two [[FENRIS nuclear warhead]]s.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 352-372''</ref> | ||

By September 2553, Ash, Olivia, and Mark were missing in action. Though their deaths were not confirmed, the UNSC later changed their status to killed in action.<ref name="catalog">[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2988772_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post2988772 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Catalog Interaction - Page 38'']</ref> | |||
