Background Edit

Members of the 105th possessed 'exceptional' Esprit de Corps and immense pride and distinction within their unit, reflected by the customary comet-and-skull tattoo each received. Their motto, "Jump Feet First into Hell!" , coupled with their employment of Human Entry Vehicles, earned them the nickname of "Helljumpers".

The 105th was infamous for its brutality, even toward fellow human troops. On one occasion, ODSTs from the 105th were involved in a fight with Spartan John-117, resulting in three ODST deaths and one severe injury.^[2]^[3]

History Edit

The 105th was around as early as 2525. Detachments of the Helljumpers have been stationed on a number of ships, including the UNSC Atlas. In 2552, subordinate (company- or platoon-level) units of the 105th were stationed on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn and fought in the Battle of Installation 04. This unit was the 22nd Tactical, which was instrumental in frustrating Covenant attempts to purge the Halo of humans. Elements of the 7th Battalion were stationed on the UNSC In Amber Clad and participated in the Battle of Earth and on the Battle of Installation 05. A sub-unit of the 105th was stationed on UNSC Forward Unto Dawn, and participated in the Battle of Installation 00.
