''"We will not waver, we will not falter.We are Spartans, and we will succeed!"

-Maynard-X112 Prior to the Orbital drop onto Minerva.

Wulf Team, named after the heroic SPARTAN-II, Wulf-041, was a SPARTAN Unit deployed in the late 2500's and early 2600's. The Team was originally formed from the SPARTAN-IV X Company in 2571. The best and brightest of the Company, Maynard-X112, Artyom-X043 and Max-X489, were each chosen to lead individual teams. Artyom lead the Headhunters, Max became the Company battle commander, and Maynard formed Wulf.

Maynard, often described as more of a 'Walking tank' than a soldier, had extensively researched past SPARTAN teams, taking much inspiration from heroes such as Kurt-051, John-117, and his own commander, Marco-025. However, he ended up naming his team after another SPARTAN-II: Wulf-041, a 'Sigma' Spartan who had been killed not by the Covenant, but by his own side during the Fall of Reach. After being given access to his file, Maynard decided to name the team after this brave example of what a Spartan should be.

The request to form the team was granted by Marco-025, who had deeply respected Wulf. Maynard then selected 4 of the best Spartans from X Company, those being Mateo-X234, Ross-X090, Kate-X500 and Devin-X432.

First Galactic War
In 2571, the year X Company finished training, war was declared. Three factions, known as the 'Splinter Alliance' had banded together against the UNSC and the Sangehili, resulting in the First Galactic War. Wulf Team was called out on several Operations, usually against The Legion, the human faction of the alliance. In 2599, the UNSC pinpointed the Location of the Alliance's base: Minerva, a colony world. So, along with a large fleet of Human and Sangehili vessels, Wulf team, accompanied by all three SPARTAN-IV Companies, travelled to make the decisive blow against the alliance.
