"I completely defeat Those who dare to fight with Me."

- Quotation extracted from the Rig Veda 1.8.3 and translated into English, poet unknown. Adopted as the motto of Team Accretion.

Team Accretion, often just shortened to Accretion was a former elite unit comprising of five of Delta Company, ONI Beta-5 Division's own company of SPARTAN-III supersoldiers. Officially formed in April of 2555, Accretion's initial roster consisted of Joyce-D264, Amanda-D396, Deryck-D096, Tor-D191, and Michelle-D354, as Accretion One, Two, Three, Four, and Five respectively.

One of the better-performing teams of Delta Company, all the five members of Accretion were trained on the planet of Argus V for five years as part of the program, with the training starting even before the formation of the team as well. In early 2555, the teams were finalized, and Team Accretion's sister team became Team Quasar. All the five members of Team Accretion successfully survived Delta's augmentation procedures, becoming augmented super-soldiers. The unit was successful in every individual mission they participated after the augmentations and after receiving their MJOLNIR Mark V armors.

However, their biggest blow would come during Operation: DARK DESCENT, the first and only site-wide deployment of Delta Company. During the suicide op, Michelle-D354 and Tor-D191 lost their lives while fighting the Covenant, while near the end Accretion's leader Joyce-D264 heroically sacrificed himself to save the lives of other Delta Spartans and making the operation a success. After the mission, the two surviving members of Accretion, Deryck-D096 and Amanda-D396, became a Binary Headhunter team, going on stealth and reconnaissance missions. After one such mission after the duo received their new MJOLNIR GEN2 armors, Accretion went AWOL, in reality going rogue and leaving the UNSC.
