Fireteam Apollo is a specialized fireteam of rotating Spartan-IV supersoldiers assigned to UNSC Infinity. The members of the fireteam are primarily newer recruits, placed together in a variety of combinations.[2] Apollo's emblem features a stylized arrow, representing its namesake's association with archery.

History

In early 2556, Fireteam Apollo was dispatched to the exclusion zone around Threshold in order to look for something as part of Operation: SHELL GAME. The Office of Naval Intelligence was intimately involved in this operation, which also was related to information gathered in Kenya during the Battle for Earth in 2552. The mission was directly in violation of the Treaty of 2552 made between the UEG and the Swords of Sanghelios. Apollo recovered the black-box from the CCS-class battlecruiser, Undiminished Entelechy. From this, a recorded conversation between Supreme Commander Thel 'Vadamee and the Prophet of Stewardship was found. In addition, data gathered by Apollo was used to construct two War Games maps based around the battlecruiser. [3]

Behind the scenes

Fireteam Apollo is the in-universe explanation for Halo Legendary Crate.[1] The story of Fireteam Apollo will be told throughout the released Loot Crates and possibly in other future media. Apollo will be similar to Spartan Ops' Fireteam Crimson in which the identities of the fireteam's members will be unknown to the audience to allow fans to immerse themselves into roles as Spartans of Apollo.[2] 92738-62842-LC's initials "LC" are a reference to Loot Crate.
