{{Halopedia:Main Page/Random/Layout|Olympia Vale|File:VALE 2.png|A child prodigy, Olympia Vale was born on the Inner Colony of Luyten to a mother in the UNSC Navy. Vale was a child prodigy with a natural skill in languages, even teaching herself the Sangheili language simply by listening to recordings. In the post-war era, Vale became a diplomat to the Sangheili and an expert on their culture. Following a joint operation to Installation 00 in which the Halo Array was once again prevented from firing, ONI recruited her into the SPARTAN-IV program. By late 2558, she was assigned to Fireteam Osiris, led by Spartan Jameson Locke.}}</option> | <!--{{Halopedia:Main Page/Random/Layout|Olympia Vale|File:VALE 2.png|A child prodigy, Olympia Vale was born on the Inner Colony of Luyten to a mother in the UNSC Navy.

{{Halopedia:Main Page/Random/Layout|Kalmiya|File:Enc22 Kalmiya.jpg|Kalmiya was created by Dr. Catherine Halsey for the primary purpose of testing experimental software and techniques that would be incorporated into Cortana. Entering service in 2537, Kalmyia was decompiled, edited, and reconstructed by Dr. Halsey several times, prolonging her lifespan far past that of most "smart" AI. Despite the fact that Kalmiya was destroyed during the Fall of Reach, Blue Team discovered some of her subroutines surviving within the ruins of CASTLE Base in 2559. These remnants guarded a vault holding material that was later used to create the AI known simply as "the Weapon."}} | {{Halopedia:Main Page/Random/Layout|Kalmiya|File:Enc22 Kalmiya.jpg|Kalmiya was created by Dr. Catherine Halsey for the primary purpose of testing experimental software and techniques that would be incorporated into Cortana.

After taking control of the ''Incorruptible'', 'Mantakree was able to negotiate a truce between the Sangheili and Jiralhanae warships at High Charity, urging them to focus their attention on the Flood. However, the truce would be short-lived, forcing 'Mantakree to flee to Saepon'kal to regroup with another Sangheili fleet. There, Imperial Admiral Xytan 'Jar Wattinree ordered Voro Nar 'Mantakree to prevent the humans on Onyx from accessing its stores of Forerunner relics.

Though usually flown in air and space, they could also operate on the ground in a bipedal form. War sphinxes were deployed in large numbers during the Human-Forerunner War and the following Forerunner-Flood War. After his first exile, the Ur-Didact's Cryptum was guarded by twelve war sphinxes, each of which were once piloted by his children before their deaths.

Not long after the war's end, he was recruited into the Spartan-IV program. While still a new recruit, Dinh's fireteam was sent on a disastrous mission into a Yanme'e hive that resulted in the deaths of all of his teammates and him escaping with severe wounds. During the Created Conflict, Dinh met Spartan Sigrid Eklund, who later accompanied him on a fateful mission to the Banished-held colony of Camber.}}</option> | |||

After the war, Eklund's experience led to her recruitment into the Spartan-IV program. By late 2554, Spartan Eklund was attached to Fireteam Crimson where her actions in several operations caught the eyes of Jun-A266 and Musa Ghanem, who reassigned her to more isolated missions.

The terraforming vessel became embedded on the surface of a desert moon, ultimately being discovered by the Office of Naval Intelligence shortly after the Covenant War. The initial mission to capture the ship ended in failure due to conflicting recon reports and the presence of a hostile force. However, ONI eventually succeeded in establishing a research base at the site. At some point following Cortana's rise to power, the vessel fell under the control of the Created, who reactivated the ship's dormant creation engines to begin the process of terraforming the desolate moon.}}</option> | |||

The Needler's inner mechanisms break down the crystals and catalyzes the resulting shards, which become capable of tracking specific heat signatures of sighted targets. While the Needler is classified as a weapon for specialist troops, its potential to inflict gruesome damage with little marksmanship skill has made it a popular weapon among the Covenant's lower castes and its poorly-trained soldiers.}}</option> | |||

However, an encounter with the Gravemind left his mind and psyche permanently altered. One hundred thousand years after being imprisoned by the Librarian on Requiem, the Didact was freed by John-117. The Forerunner retrieved a powerful device known as the Composer, but was knocked into a slipspace rift while trying to compose the population of Earth. This rift took him to Gamma Halo, the location of the Composer's Abyss. John-117 and the rest of Blue Team confronted the Promethean and digitized him with the combined power of five Composers. Now, the Didact wanders the digital wastes of the Domain.}}</option> | |||

During a mission to the world, Spartans Sigrid and Dinh discovered Iratus, with Dinh capturing the AI inside his neural interface. Returning to the Avery J. Johnson Academy of Military Science with their prize, Iratus was carefully extracted from Dinh's neural interface and quarantined. However, the AI would break containment and find his way into a subterranean ONI facility where he began to infect the armor and neural interfaces of the academy's Spartan trainees.}}</option> | |||

Now stranded on Installation 00, Sparks and Sunray 1-1 foiled a Banished plan to destroy the ''Spirit of Fire'' in the spring of 2559. Since then, Sparks has utilized tactics gleaned from records of Operation: GREY VEIL to further improve his marksmanship skill, ultimately leading to a killshot that has become legend among the marksmen on the ''Spirit of Fire''.}}</option> | |||

{{Halopedia:Main Page/Random/Layout|Spike weaponry|File:HTMCC-H3 SpikeWeaponry.png|With its heritage tracing back to hunting tools and weapons used in conflicts between various Jiralhanae factions on Doisac, spike weaponry saw less usage after the species' induction into the Covenant, with many Jiralhanae warriors adopting the empire's ubiquitous plasma weapons instead. The manufacturing of spike weapons remained exclusive to Doisac until the months leading up to the Great Schism, when the High Prophet of Truth secretly ordered the Sacred Promissory on High Charity to expand its production scope to include various kinds of Jiralhanae matériel. Following the end of the Human-Covenant War, the Jiralhanae have continued to make use of spike weaponry alongside other weapons originating from their more savage, pre-Covenant history.}} | |||

It began when the UNSC ''Pillar of Autumn'', fleeing Reach along an ostensibly random trajectory, stumbled across and subsequently crash landed on an unidentified artificial ringworld: Alpha Halo. In the ensuing battle, it was revealed that the ring was part of a failsafe contingency to prevent the spread of an interstellar parasite, the Flood. If the need was dire enough, the Halo Array would sterilize the galaxy of life and deprive the Flood of its food supply. With the Flood released upon the ring and its caretaker threatening to fire the Array, it fell to John-117 to destroy the ring to stop its firing, contain the Flood outbreak, and prevent catastrophe.

The outbreak of the Human-Covenant War saw the Grizzly further cement itself as the UNSC's premier anti-armor weapons platform, contesting alien armored vehicles so effectively that the Covenant often had to rely on naval assets to defeat them. While the Grizzly is still in service following the war, the UNSC began to field this tank far less often even as the war came to a close, largely due to its exorbitant cost, stringent maintenance requirements, and difficulty of transportation.} | |||

Rarely encountered in combat both during and after the Human-Covenant War, the Bkowe'nei-pattern Vampire is an anti-aircraft fighter with unique armaments, including a heavy needle cannon, two medium plasma cannons, a stasis cannon and a stasis bomb. While it functioned well in its intended role, the Covenant would favor other aircraft with heavier armaments and greater versatility. However, Vampires notably saw combat during the Harvest Campaign, the Battle for Arcadia, and the following Battle of Trove. After the war's end, several Vampires were witnessed in the possession of Fleetmaster Rojka 'Kasaan.
