"This is SPARTAN Group Omega. If they want war, we'll give 'em war!"
— A member of SPARTAN Group Omega during the Second Battle of Harvest.

SPARTAN Group Omega is a UNSC Naval Special Warfare unit assigned to the modified-colony ship, UNSC Spirit of Fire [1].

Background

SPARTAN Group Omega seems to be equipped with the MJOLNIR Mk IV Battle Armor with an external plate on the right shoulder. They were armed with BR55 Battle Rifles in the original trailer.

Omega, is most likely to have anywhere from 5-15 SPARTAN-IIs, in the unit of all expertise, making it a squad-sized Special Operations unit.

Game Unit

In the game, Halo Wars, Spartan Group Omega have personal energy shields, even though they have MJOLNIR MK IV armor that never had the shields. The shelds recharge after a short time and make the sounds of the shields being depleteed and the shields recharging. They have to be managed carefully lest they be wiped out. They are armed with SMGs, with the opportunity to be upgraded to Chainguns and even Spartan Lasers [2]. Also, as seen in the E3 Demo, the Spartans are capable of hijacking and piloting enemy vehicles similar to its FPS counterpart but in much faster rate.

It is unknown whether this is a canoncial error or a gameplay perk, but in the Halo Wars demo released on Februrary, 5th, 2009, Spartan units have a Personal Energy Shield as well as a health bar.

Trivia

  • Spartan Group Omega is a playable unit type in the RTS game, Halo Wars.
  • The name of the team is Spartan "GROUP" Omega instead of Team Omega. That signifies that Spartan Group Omega is larger than the 2-4 Spartan teams referenced throughout the series that are usually designated by a simple color. There is a possibility that they are only 5 Spartans in Group Omega. But it depends on Halo Wars' gameplay. In the Halo Wars demo the player may have up to 3 Spartans.
