"You want inspiration private? Read a poem, we're going to war"

- --Lieutenant Andrei Dixon to Private York

Ghost Team is a V/ORION Special Operations Unit that entered military service during the end of the UNSC-Covenant War and the UNSC-Exile War. Originating from the remnants of 'Predator Team', the first ORION-II Team which graduated in 2549, Ghost Team was host to the most respected, and feared soldiers in the UNSC.

When most of Predator Team was killed during the Fall of Misriah, and the graduation of V/ORION-2's Bravo Generation - Predator Team was disbanded, and its members spread across the field to help guide the younger V/ORION Soldiers. Ghost Team was formed in its place, led by Predator Team's CO: Jackson Rosevelt. Jack served as an inspiration to the rookie soldiers, and with rough training eventually turned Ghost Team into more than a simple collection of soldiers. Rosevelt turned Ghost Team into one of the most efficient, rutheless and respected units within the program.

Ghost Team was present for the Final Battle of the Human-Covenant War, the same battle where the SPARTAN-III Program was revealed to the public - and the battle where Spartan-III Delta Company was massacred. The loss of the SPARTAN-III's, their classified status, and the Spartan 'MIA' morale boosting protocol - a new program was required to take its place. V/ORION's Special Operations Division was formed to fill the void, and the V/ORION-3 Program was born.

After taking several losses from the battle, Ghost Team recieved several recruits from V/ORION's Generation Charlie and was transferred to V/SOD as the first unit in the division. After the war, another insurrection arose and V/SOD created the ECHELON deployment to quell the rebel uprising. As part of rear echelon, Ghost was deployed to the most hostile operations, and took heavy losses from the rebel's new chemical warfare attacks.

Over the years, from 2563 to 2618, the amount of V/ORION-2's whittled away. Ghost Team lost it's second in command when David Andeisha left the UNSC due to family problems and joined the insurgency. Jackson Rosevelt was wounded in the betrayal and was forced by Voron to hunt his closest friend down for six months in 2583.

Andeisha was promised by the insurgent faction that his family would be fed and taken care of so-long as he worked for them. Andeisha was found by Ghost Team in 2600 and was given the choice to re-join the UNSC by Jackson at gunpoint. David was conflicted to accept the offer due to the risks of the insurgents reaching his family before him and rejected the offer. David subsequently shot and killed 3 of the 6 remaining original GHOSTs and severely wounded Andeisha and his fiance, Erica Ackerson.

Jackson, though incapacitated was able to fire his M6 sidearm with his wounded hand and fired eight rounds, seven of which hit, and killed David. Jackson found David's son in a storage room while leaving the building, guilted by making another widow and bastard - Jackson chose to adopt David's son, who, ironically was named after Rosevelt 'Clyde Jackson Andeisha'.

Ghost Team would remain without reinforcements until 2618 and would be known from then on as the 'Ghosts of the insurrection' by witnesses. Jackson chose to hide Clyde's identity until he was old enough, but when his apartment was bombed by insurgents, Jackson chose to tell Clyde of his true father and enlist him into V/ORION-3Delta, a program meant to recruit the children of V/ORION Soldiers due to the augments being carried over to the child.

Clyde recieved personal training from Jackson, and literally learned from the best in terms of experience. He graduated from V/ORION-3 Training in 2618 and given control of Ghost Team when Jackson finally retired at age 80, though technically the V/ORION Performance Enhancing Drug program would allow him to serve at peak-performance for many more years. Ghost team was also present during the first planetary battle of the Exile war in 2620.
