- “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
They seem to be equipped, with the MJOLNIR Mk IV Battle Armor, with an external plate, on the right shoulder. They were armed with M7/Caseless Submachine Guns 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-game, Spartan Group Omega (or rather Spartan-IIs as a whole) are without shields but heal quickly. They have to be managed carefully lest they be wiped out. They are armed with M7/Caseless Submachine Guns, with the opportunity to be upgraded to turrets 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.
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 spartan's in group Omega. But it depends on Halo Wars' gameplay.
- Halo Wars will most likely give the names of these SPARTANs throughout the course of the game. However, it's unknown if they are of class I or II, or an entirely seperate project.
