Halo: Orion's Belt

Meet Orion Team

They are seven figures of legend in the UNSC.

Dr. Catherine Halsey created the original SPARTAN-II's, but kept even them a secret from her own people: Spartans who were capable of more than just being what they were. First there were four, and as time went on, there came more. Working in such secrecy that their real names and faces have only been witnessed on occasion, and performing tasks that even the top military intelligences didn't know needed doing until it was already done.

Each Spartan is better than their own base structures, due to them each having a specialty, personality, and spot on the team.

Strike Commander Wraith, the team's current leader, specializes in reconnaissance, assassinations, and bladed weapons, such as prototype dual swords and throwing knives. He may be older than the rest of his squadmates, but is still just as knowledgeable in his field, being the stealthiest and quickest-fighting SPARTAN-II recorded. And although his size gets him mistaken for a Spartan-IV, he is truly a SPARTAN-II at heart. Grizzled and dark, he prefers to keep his friends at a distance and his enemies on his blades.

Lt. Colonel Evan, the team's sniper, is surprisingly good at tactics, stratagems, and mathematics. The tallest member of the team and originally a freelancer, Evan is known among SPARTANS everywhere for one thing: not being able to shut up. He hides all of his intellect behind a loudmouth personality, and most of what he says is pure rubbish and lame attempts at jokes, but that doesn't stop him from being the greatest sniper the galaxy has seen.

Field Major Hedgehog, the team's medic, is also the second oldest, and acts as Wraith's right hand and as the team's subleader. Stubborn, realistic, yet passionate about his work, Hedgehog is the only SPARTAN to date that has permission to grow out long hair, a beard, and to wed, all of which he has accomplished. His skill with a DMR is rivaled only by Evan, and his medical knowledge is uncanny. Hailing from Scotland, he is tough to negotiate with, and despite him being a medic, he has the soul of a warrior.

Major Avis, the team's pyrotechnics specialist, also has a knack for light machinery handling, heavy weapons, explosions, and, of course, fire. He is the largest SPARTAN on recorded, standing 8 feet tall even without Mjolnir armour. He is grim and antisocial, and can often be described as a pessimist. However, he fights with extreme fury, never backing down or offering to retreat, and he always gets the last hit. Apart from setting enemies ablaze with his flamethrower, he furiously breaks his enemies with his own bare hands, usually slamming their necks down onto his knee. Despite his fury in combat and pessimistic tendencies out of combat, he is a valuable asset to the team.

Petty Officer Brad, the team's demolitions expert and an advanced SPARTAN-III, enjoys explosions, fights, and women. Born on Earth in Texas, he is said to be the most muscular SPARTAN-III, as well as the most mentally unstable, seeing how Brad nearly didn't make it onto the team were it not for Dr. Halsey's approval. He is agressive, short-tempered, and full of himself, but his skill with explosives and unarmed combat are unmatched.

Flight Sergeant Michelle "Hawk", the team's pilot, has the most unusual role of a SPARTAN. Being part of a special air division of advanced SPARTAN-III's, some question  whether piloting is her only ability. However, Hawk is just as good as any other SPARTAN-III in combat, wielding dual M7/Caaseless Submachine Guns and being able to leap as high as a SPARTAN-II. Her piloting skills are the best in the UNSC in terms of stealth, transport, speed, and combat, which Hawk can pull of with any airborne or space borne vehicle. She is outspoken and is always watching out for others, but at times can be sassy, easing the mood of the war in certain situations.

Corporal Doc, the team's technician and only SPARTAN-IV, is often described with two words: the kid. Even though he is the youngest member, being only 19 years of age, he is one of the smartest and can easily focus on hacking, programming, and even creating. He crafts unique gadgets for the team, and even created his own Smart AI called Emma to help with his work in the field. Innocent and loyal, Doc makes everyone's darker days seem brighter with his innovational ideas and charm.

They are the UNSC's finest, and no one dares to cross them.

They are Orion Team.
