Mako Team

{{TWD|SPARTAN TEAM MAKO| {{writer|Phalanx_Actual}} {{under_construction|Phalanx_Actual}} SPARTAN Team Mako was a SPARTAN-III Alpha Company unit that fought throughout the Covenant War. Lead by SPARTAN-III Kai-A019 until 2549, team was composed of SPARTAN-III personnel listed as wounded, or transferred to non-combat roles to avoid being sent on OPERATION: PROMETHEUS. Deemed too valuable to be risked on suicide operations, two SPARTAN-III's were listed Missing In Action, and recruited into what would become the basis for Headhunter Teams, "Team Mako". After the initial Headhunter Roster began to collapse after four pairs were killed in action, all eight remaining pairs were folded back into larger teams; Noble, Gauntlet, and Mako.

While NOBLE was sent to train Beta Company, for the time being and Gauntlet was reserved for Black Operations, Mako was almost immediately re-armed and sent to the front lines of the war. Mako fought alongside other SPARTAN-II veterans, and eventually NOBLE, and Gauntlet Team. They were seen by other SPARTAN-II units as part of the SPARTAN-II Class II promised by Chief Petty Officer Mendez, despite suspicions the truth was never confirmed. Team Mako continued to serve until the end of the war in 2553, seeing combat on Fumirole, Eradinus II, Reach and for a short time - Earth.

Roster
During the course of the war, Mako suffered irreversible losses as did all front-line SPARTAN units. Serving from 2537-2553, many Spartans lost their lives to the heat of battle, and the consequences of their actions. The original Headhunter Roster remains classified to this day.
