Cassandra-G006

Cassandra-G006 (known as Cassandra Powell earlier in life) was a SPARTAN-III of Gamma Company. Unlike most SPARTAN-IIIs, she was hastily abducted from her family by ONI agents in order to fill the increased candidate roster for Gamma Company. During training she lagged behind her fellow trainees during combat-centric exercises but made up for this deficiency through her penchant for medical skills. By the end of her training, she was the best medic in the company and was highly valued by her comrades for her expertise. Assigned to Team Kopis, she formed close bonds with her teammates until they were all killed during a Covenant assault upon the UNSC Ides of March. The sole survivor from her squad, a traumatized Cassandra was reassigned to Team Jian, where she struggled to reintegrate into her new squad. Following a disastrous mission on the planet Mamore that left three members of Team Jian missing in action, Cassandra and her two remaining teammates saw extensive action in the Sol system during the Second Battle of Earth. She was later badly injured during a post-war strike on a Humanity Liberation Front base, where she and her team encountered and engaged their former teammate Simon-G294, who had gone missing during the Mamore operation and resurfaced as an Insurrectionist soldier. Moved to compassion by Cassandra's wounds, Simon took her aboard his ship for treatment as he was escaping. A damaged slipspace drive forced both of them to enter cryo-sleep as the ship's A.I. guided the crippled vessel to an inhabitable planet.
