Like the other SPARTAN-IIs, Robert-025 was abducted at age six and conscripted into the [[SPARTAN-II program]] in [[2517]]. He later survived the [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures|augmentation procedures]] in [[2525]]. Along with [[Leon-011]] and [[August-099]], Robert formed the Spartan-II fast reaction unit Omega Team,{{Ref/Reuse|Know-Scope}} which was created primarily for asset denial operations.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p65}} | |||
===Human-Covenant War=== | |||
Omega Team is typically deployed with the goal of breaking the enemy's hold long enough in order to reinforce local defenses and buy time for a [[UNSC]] response. During the [[Human-Covenant War]], Omega Team was deployed to several [[Human colonies|colony worlds]] threatened by the [[Covenant]], assisting in emergency evacuation efforts and enacting classified last-stand protocols. The team proved highly proficient at the denial of critical resources, data, and even personnel to the Covenant by any means necessary, which sometimes required the deployment of weapons of mass destruction.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p65}} | |||
At some point in [[2527]], Omega Team may have been deployed against [[Insurrectionist]] forces in an operation on [[Hellas]] against insurgent forces employing the use of [[Rumbledrug]]s. However, it is possible that Omega Team was merely briefed on this operation rather than actively assigned to it.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Hippo|Halo: Hippocratica}} | |||
On several occasions, Omega Team worked closely with [[Jerome-092]], [[Alice-130]], and [[Douglas-042]] of [[Red Team]], including during the defense of [[Arcadia]] when it was attacked in [[2531]].{{Ref/Level|Id=AO|HW|[[Arcadia Outskirts]]}}{{Ref/Game|Id=PhoenixLog|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Omega Team}} During the battle, they were separated when the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} departed the [[Procyon system|system]] to chase retreating Covenant forces.{{Ref/Level|Id=AS|HW|Anders' Signal}} During the Arcadia Campaign, Robert worked alongside Leon-011, August-099, [[Kai-125]], [[Riz-028]], and [[Vannak-134]], before the latter three were split off to form an independent [[Silver Team]].

In the late stages of the Human-Covenant War, or the earliest years of the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war]] era, Omega Team was involved in the testing of numerous "[[Breach attachments|Breach]]" development iterations on the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|MJOLNIR Mark VI]] platform.

Robert-025 is a Spartan-II supersoldier and a member of Omega Team.[2][3]
Biography[edit]
Early childhood[edit]
Like the other SPARTAN-IIs, Robert-025 was abducted at age six and conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program in 2517. He later survived the augmentation procedures in 2525. Along with Leon-011 and August-099, Robert formed the Spartan-II fast reaction unit Omega Team,[2] which was created primarily for asset denial operations.[3]
Human-Covenant War[edit]
Omega Team is typically deployed with the goal of breaking the enemy's hold long enough in order to reinforce local defenses and buy time for a UNSC response. During the Human-Covenant War, Omega Team was deployed to several colony worlds threatened by the Covenant, assisting in emergency evacuation efforts and enacting classified last-stand protocols. The team proved highly proficient at the denial of critical resources, data, and even personnel to the Covenant by any means necessary, which sometimes required the deployment of weapons of mass destruction.[3]
At some point in 2527, Omega Team may have been deployed against Insurrectionist forces in an operation on Hellas against insurgent forces employing the use of Rumbledrugs. However, it is possible that Omega Team was merely briefed on this operation rather than actively assigned to it.[4]
On several occasions, Omega Team worked closely with Jerome-092, Alice-130, and Douglas-042 of Red Team, including during the defense of Arcadia when it was attacked in 2531.[5][6] During the battle, they were separated when the UNSC Spirit of Fire departed the system to chase retreating Covenant forces.[7] During the Arcadia Campaign, Robert worked alongside Leon-011, August-099, Kai-125, Riz-028, and Vannak-134, before the latter three were split off to form an independent Silver Team. In 2540, the full six-member roster of Omega was temporarily reformed and deployed to an unknown operation on Hellas. [8]
In the late stages of the Human-Covenant War, or the earliest years of the post-war era, Omega Team was involved in the testing of numerous "Breach" development iterations on the MJOLNIR Mark VI platform. These field tests were successful, and saw improvements folded into later GEN2 and GEN3 productions.[9]
Post-war service[edit]
Decades after Red Team's last encounter with them, Commander Jerome-092 discerned that Omega Team had survived the war based on UNSC records recovered from the Henry Lamb Research Outpost.[2] In 2560, the team was deployed to Arcadia once again, this time with goal of observing a deal between Adam Andrews—the CEO of Optican—and Kig-Yar working for Nor Fel. After a successful handoff between the two parties amid Forerunner ruins, August eliminated a trio of Kig-Yar with her M99A2S3 Stanchion, the signal for Robert-025 and Leon-011 to move. While Leon rushed for the Kig-Yar's Phantom, Robert positioned himself to neutralize any escapees from the craft with his machine gun turret. Once Leon confirmed the dropship was clear, Robert got to work securing the Kig-Yar's would-be prize: the focus cannon of a R'awuw-pattern Scarab. After performing some scans of the weapon, Robert secured it for transport as Leon confirmed that the aliens had delivered a shipment of rumbledrugs to Andrews. With their objective complete, Omega Team left the area.[4]
Equipment[edit]
Circa the end of the Human-Covenant War, Robert-025 participated in field tests while wearing MJOLNIR Mark VI with the Breach Link helmet attachments, UA/KOTIN chest armor, and TAC/SRV-III shoulder armor.[10] As of 2560, he wears Mark IV MJOLNIR armor with a Paladin-class helmet incorporating the Project GOSWHIT attachment. He also wears IMA/BARTIZAN left shoulder, an TAC/GARITA/OMEGA right shoulder (consisting of a standard Mark IV Garita pauldron with a combat knife), and an UA/NERA-ATS chestpiece. Robert's left forearm includes the TAC/FIRMBLUR attachment while his kneepads are the IMA/SASP-III variant. He sports a UTIL/DAS-M BLOCK 20 attached to his left leg.[4][11] During this time, Robert was known to wield a machine gun turret in combat.[4]
Production notes[edit]
- 343 Industries has noted in a Canon Fodder post that both the concept art and the final Halo Wars 2 in-game models of Omega Team could be considered authoritative in some capacity, stating that "Discerning lore-lovers should feel free to consider both iterations fair game for expanding their imaginations."[2] Furthermore, the 2022 edition of the Halo Encyclopedia utilizes said concept art for its depiction of Omega Team, firmly cementing its canon status.[3] In 2024's Content Update 29, Robert's armor suite was fully-realized in canon as the Paladin armor bundle for Halo Infinite.[11]
