User:Kit-103/SPARTAN Team Nova

"Stick together, watch your corners. Lord only knows what the Covenant set up."
 * - Jacen-203 to Nova Team on their very mission in 2545

SPARTAN Team Nova, or Nova Team, was a small unit consisting of four SPARTAN IIs, Class IIs and was led by Jacen-203.

Nova Team served during the Human-Covenant War and helped hunt down the remaining Covenant loyalists in the year 2553. Nova Team would later be disbanded on April 20th, as Marcus-209 was killed during the final moments of OPERATION: FALLEN ANGEL and Jennifer-220 was severely wounded in action.

Introduction
After graduation in 2545, Jacen-203 was given the chance to lead his own squad. He would pick Marcus-209, Kaitlyn-214 and Jennifer-220. Each member had varying skills, which would help the squad through various missions.

OPERATION: INDEPENDENCE
OPERATION: INDEPENDENCE would be Nova Team's first major encounter with Covenant and Separatist forces. Nova Team was tasked wiping out the occupying Covenant Force on the ground but they would also encounter resistance from Separatist forces also. This would later be an advantage for them during the final moments of the operation.

Second Battle of Arcadia
"True meaning of shit hitting the fan Jacen."
 * - Marcus-209 after Nova Team is pushed back into the jungle

The Second Battle of Arcadia would see one of Team Nova's first major losses. Not only was there heavy resistance from the Separatist forces on the ground, but they would later have to deal with the Covenant.

Tasked with putting a stop to information leaks, Nova was quick and put down any threats but quickly switched roles as they learned of the Covenant threat returning to Arcadia. They met up with the 105th ODST Division on Mu and prepared to fend off any and all attacks. After learning of the losing battle in space, Nova Team and the remaining members of the 105th were tasked with evacuating civilians but were quickly pushed into the jungles, the Covenant gaining control of Mu.

Once hearing of the loss in space and the glassing, Nova and the remaining ODSTs made their way to a hidden pelican and barely escaped with their lives. At the end of the battle Kaitlyn-214 was pulled from the squad after suffering a major mental breakdown and Nova Team would suffer from a temporary disbandment.
