Brandon Foster

Brandon Travis Foster was a mechanic born to a family on Mamore with strong anti-UEG sentiments, and joined the Insurrection when tensions between the colony and the UNSC began turning into armed conflict in late 2536. He was responsible for stealing the schematics to the prototype D77H-TCI Heavy Pelican and built one from the airframe of an older D77-TC Pelican captured by the rebels, nicknaming the vehicle Thunderclap. Serving as crew chief and copilot to rebel Jonathan Watts, the pair put their ship to good use, giving the Mamore rebels a leg up on the UNSC forces sent to restore order to the planet.

They became one of the subjects of insurgent propaganda to win over more recruits, something they had mixed feelings about, but agreed was necessary to help their cause. When  deployed to Mamore, the Insurrection rapidly lost what it had so far managed to hold, and while fleeing the site of a rebel defeat were shot down by an, Foster dying in the crash. Watts would survive, eventually returning to Secundus, but Mamore's Insurrection of 2537 was soon ended by the continued operation of SPARTAN-IIIs.
