Orbital Drop Shock Troopers

Summary

The Orbital Drop Shock Troopers or ODSTs are the Marines who make orbital insertions through planetary atmospheres. The 105th ODST Division is the toughest of the ODST Divisions and are nicknamed "Helljumpers" for their tenacity. Delivered to their targets via HEVs (Human Entry Vehicles), these soldiers are always in the most danger of being killed on a mission. They are the toughest soldiers the UNSC has to fight the Covenant with other than the SPARTAN-IIs.

In Halo 2, the ODSTs that accompany the Master Chief on the drop onto Delta Halo are clad in black armour with silver reflective visors instead of the regular Marine uniform.
