==History==
===Battle of Liber===
In the month of March, 2526, the targeted the colony of Liber. While many of the Spartans were preparing for , a few were needed at the populated colony. These few were Dom-094, Rick-077, and Sam-015 from , and also Annie-003 from , and were designated the Platinum Team. Upon the Spartans' arrival at the colony, Darryl Coatney informed them of the situation of the attack. Although the had a slight upper hand on the surface, the space battle did not seem winnable; there was nothing in Liber's orbital defenses that could take out the opposing , the Divine Eradication.
Having reviewed what had occurred in the , Coatney urged the Spartans to board the Divine Retribution just as had boarded the . Instead of bringing mere , however, the Spartans would bring a , as the assault carrier was at a safe distance from the UNSC vessels. The members of Platinum Team were aware of how perished at the and vowed to not lose each other. The Spartans agreed that opposing would be their greatest threat, and decided to take full advantage Sam-015's unparalleled skill with anti-armor weapons; Sam-015 was to swiftly eliminate durable targets with an , while each of her teammates would go into this mission with two additional magazines for the rocket launcher.
Similar to the events of Chi Ceti, Platinum Team traveled to the Divine Eradication by a G95M Gull with the UNSC Future Untold and several other UNSC vessels drawing the Covenant's attention. The UNSC vessels then fired their at the assault carrier, enough to create an opening in the Covenant carrier's narrow section for the Spartans to board. Platinum Team subsequently left their Pelican and used their to propel themselves into the Divine Eradication.
The members of Platinum Team initially faced and and were able to take them out with little difficulty. When the Spartans began facing elites, Sam-015 to made liberal use of her M41 SPNKR against the durable enemies as planned, with her allies resupplying her whenever necessary. Once the Spartans had fought their way deep enough into the Divine Eradication, they armed the nuke, putting it on a timer. However, they prepared for remote detonation should the timer malfunction. With the bomb in place, the Spartans proceeded to fight their way out of the Covenant ship. Commander Bella Caseiro contacted the Spartans, informing them that she was waiting for them outside aboard the UNSC Muted Whisper. Minutes after the Muted Whisper had safely recovered the Spartans, the HAVOK detonated, severing the Divine Eradication at its "neck" and also destroying a nearby Covenant .
With the greatest naval threat gone, the Liber fleet proceeded to turn the tide of the naval battle. The Spartans were then deployed on the surface to help the UNSC ground forces finish off the Covenant infantry and also search for survivors. In orbit, the surviving UNSC ships were able to force the last two battlecruisers into retreat, ending the battle in favor of the humans. The synergy between the Spartans played a major role in their success at Liber, prompting the establishment of Platinum Team as a permanent Spartan unit under the leadership of Annie-003.
===Battle of Miridem===
Platinum Team was sent to in order to help evacuate its civilians. Among the multiple escort rounds, Dom-094 discovered three chidren who were orphaned by and hiding from Covenant forces. Dom-094 took the children to the rest of the Platinum Team, and the SPARTANs escorted them to the nearest transport, successfully keeping the children from enemy fire.

The Platinum Team, along with Ryan-A022, were called to defend the colony of Flora against the Covenant. Sam-015 arrived at the system before the other SPARTANs, and immediately began fighting on the surface. When the other four SPARTANs arrived, they were placed in pairs on two that were being boarded by Covenant infantry. Eventually, the SPARTANs left their respective stations, with Rick-077 piloting an , Dom-094 piloting an S-2 Seax, and Ryan-A022 and Annie-003 flying a . Rick-077 and Dom-094 landed on one side of the colony to defend the colony on the ground, while Annie-003 and Ryan-A022 landed on the other side to do the same.
During the battle, had intercepted a Covenant transmission regarding an artifact called the Contumacy. A map on the location of the artifact was hidden within an underground structure on Flora. Rick-077, Dom-094, and Sam-015, who were closer to the structure were sent to retrieve the map and subsequently fought through . Although the SPARTANs could not reach the map before the Covenant forces did, ONI managed to track the map to the Unwavering Conviction, which by chance, was hovering a few hundred meters over Covenant-occupied land to refit. The deployed Rick-077, Dom-094, and Sam-015, and a squad just outside the Covenant territory. The SPARTANs boarded the battlecruiser by using its , and immediately faced an attack on all sides. Through teamwork, they cleared the room and move on, although the majority of the ODSTs were killed in the ambush.

Meanwhile, ONI continued to track the Unwavering Conviction. Gerald de Gaulle of the UNSC Alexandra picked up Annie-003 and Ryan-A022 from the surface, and gathered a few other to prepare to surround the Unwavering Conviction. Once the Covenant battlecruiser completed its refit and left the atmosphere, the Alexandra fired one of its at the vessel, depleting its shields. Multiple Longswords closed in on the Unwavering Conviction, battling her fighter complement. Ryan-A022 and Annie-003 once again piloted a Longsword of their own, this time having a squad of ODSTs in the fighter, and boarded the weakened battlecruiser by flying into its hangar bay. The SPARTANs of both sides were able to join forces aboard the ship and then kill shipmaster and take the map. On their way off the Unwavering Conviction, however, the SPARTANs discovered that their Longsword was destroyed by Covenant. Fortunately, a Pelican was able to pick up the SPARTANs at the nearest hangar bay, allowing them to make their escape.
