| abstract | - Strictly speaking, Beta Company of the SPARTAN-III Program was killed almost in its entirety, with the exceptions of Tom-B292 and Lucy-B091, who were eventually folded into Gamma Company training personnel. The rest of the three hundred SPARTAN-III troops who took part in Operation: TORPEDO were all deemed Killed in Action, although a few were deemed Missing in Action. Ostensibly, this was because no video footage or sensor records could confirm their deaths at the target. In reality, quite a few members of Beta Company made it off the Covenant planet, reaching the Black Cat exfiltration craft and were recovered by the UNSC Prowler Parenthesis in the outer system. The traditional SPARTAN-III chain of command was never alerted to these survivors, and they were reappropriated by Project: INDIGO-II, who would run the operations for the surviving teams. Team Kukri were one such team. Formerly designated Team November, INDIGO-II gave them their new monikers as Gamma Company planned to use a similar scheme, hoping to confuse the issue. Operating in SPI-Mark II between 2545 and 2550, they acquired advanced testbed MJOLNIR Mark IV power armour in 2550 as part of the UNSC's preparations for Operation: HOT GATES, and were deployed alongside Baselard Team along with a variety of other Beta-5 assets, such as the original Indigo Team, eventually upgrading to the MJOLNIR Mark V as it entered service in 2551. Their history afterwards has been confused further by abuse of the NOVEMBER BLACK protocol, and for a while they protected Codename: OZYMANDIAS before his total disappearance and eventual recruitment into Operation: VORAUSSICHT. During the Second Great War, Kukri served with distinction in thirteen combat theatres and were responsible for the deaths of more than forty nine Jiralhanae Alpha Chieftains, a remarkable feat, later taking part in the assault on the Labyrinth nexus and eventually were part of the Core encounter team. They differed from Baselard by possessing more members, but were generally deployed on "regular" combat assignments, rather than covert operations.
