Upsilon Team

"Upsilon here, time to make some noise"

-Dan-D105

Overview
Spartan Team Upsilon was a 6-man Spartan-III team that participated in the Fall of Reach. They were called in to assist Spartan Team Sigma during the battle for Outpost Bravo on he Planet's surface, and later assisted in the defence of one of the Sabre Launch Facilities while Sigma took off to destroy a Covenant carrier.

Upsilon was the opposite of Spartan Team Tau. While Tau Specialised in Stealth and Infiltration tactics, Upsilon would come into battle guns blazing

In 2552, they were stationed on Reach for Training exercises, along with Spartan Team Tau. They were at outpost Foxtrot Whiskey when the Invasion Started, and were called to the front some time later to assist the Spartan-II team.

However, as the battle went on, Upsilon lost most of it's members, the only survivor by the end of the battle being Martin-D136, who was badly wounded.

Unit Members
Dan



Rank: Chief Petty Officer

Unit Rank: Upsilon 1

Spartan Tag: D-105

Current Status: KIA

Role: Team Leader

Bio: Dan was the leader of Upsilon. His unorthodox, sometimes brutal tactics scored Upsilon it's reputation as a Team who could get things done. This would often lead to arguments with the leader of Spartan Team Tau, Shane-D122.

However, he was a skilled tactician, who had risked his life for him teammates on several occasions. In the Battle for New Alexandria, Dan, along with Chris and Eugene, were killed when Dr. Calvin Roe detonated the building they were fighting in after he escaped in his personal Pelican, despite warnings that the Spartans were still inside.

Martin



Rank: Petty Officer First Class

Unit Rank: Upsilon 2

Spartan Tag: D136

Current Status: WIA

Role: Sniper

Bio: Martin was second in command of Upsilon, and the Team Sniper. He was said to be the least violent and destructive of Upsilon, and cared more for civilians and regular UNSC personnel than the others. One example of this behaviour was during the battle for New Alexandria, when he attempted to save civilians from a downed transport, but to no avail. This nature often annoyed the team leader, Dan-D105, who would often berate him about it. Martins sniper skills were top notch for a Spartan-III, on the level with Spartan Kane-099, as shown when the two of them shot down Dr.Calvin Roe's pelican after he detonated a building, killing 3 Spartans, to cover his escape.

When they got the the Crash site, Roe was gone, and they came under attack by several hunters. Martin was heavily wounded by Plasma rounds, and would have died had it not been for Marco-025 and Shane-D122, and taken aboard a pelican, where it flew to a safe location.

Martin is the only surviving member of Upsilon Team.

Sal



Rank: Petty Officer Second Class

Unit Rank: Upsilon 3

Spartan Tag: D142

Current Status:  KIA

Role: Driver/Pilot

Bio: Sal is the only female Spartan in Upsilon. Her silent nature has led many to believe that she is a man, leading to some embarrassing situations. She is the best Pilot in Upsilon, and took part in the top-secret Sabre program. She would only speak when spoken to, or when something important came up. Sal led the evacuation of UNSC survivors out of New Alexandria in Falcons to Outpost Foxtrot Whiskey, but on the orders of Calvin Roe, several Rocket Warthogs Fired upon them, blowing up her Falcon and killing her.

Eugene



Rank: Petty Officer Second Class

Unit Rank: Upsilon 4

Spartan Tag: D133

Current Status: KIA

Role: Machine Gunner

Bio: Eugene, also known as 'The Big Guy', is the gunner for Upsilon. He follows orders diligently and to the letter, but after several incidents, is no longer allowed on counter-Insurrection ops. He was good friends with Chris-D189, the two of them being he first to arrive at ONI Xerxes Base to assist Sigma Team in holding off Covenant forces.

Eugene, along with Chris and Dan, were killed in The Battle for New Alexandria when the building they were in was detonated by Dr. Calvin Roe.

Chris



Rank: Petty Officer Second Class

Unit Rank: Upsilon 5

Spartan Tag: D189

Current Status: KIA

Role: Anti-Vehicle

Bio: Chris, was the most 'loud' of Upsilon. Constantly talking, he is usually old to shut up several times a mission by Dan-D105. Chris has a pessimistic attitude towards the war, and when asked why he fights, he would simply say "Because I have to". Despite this, he was good friends with Eugene-D133.

Chris, Dan and Eugene were killed in The Battle for New Alexandria when the building hey were fighting in was detonated by Dr Calvin Roe as Chris covered the others while falling back.

Dorian



Rank: Petty Officer Third Class

Unit Rank: Upsilon 6

Spartan Tag: D188

Current Status: KIA

Role: Medic

Bio: The newest member of Upsilon, Dorian was transferred to the unit several weeks before the Invasion. He accompanied Upsilon on their mission to aid Sigma Team in stopping the Covenant from taking a critical ONI installation. He also fought at the Battle of New Alexandria, gunning from a Falcon to assist the other team members. He was evacuated, along with the other survivors, to Outpost Foxtrot Whiskey, where he fought alongside the members of Tau and Sigma Team. During the battle, he used a Dropshield to save Kane-099 from a Revenant. As the UNSC forces advanced towards the Beach, surrounded on all sides, Dorian was killed by a Covenant Sniper.
