ODST (Halo)

==Summary==
The ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper) is considered the most elite unit in the UNSC military, behind the Spartan supersoldier. These soldiers are highly trained and very well equipped and use various types of standard ODST armor, one of the strongest non-powered armor systems available to the UNSC. And as the name would suggest ODSTs are able to drop down onto planetary surfaces from orbit via specialized orbital insertion pods launched from a mothership. They can also be dropped down behind enemy lines to conduct covert operations (sometimes under the command of a Spartan) that conventional infantry waves cannot accomplish. In the post Human-Covenant war period, although the supersoldiers of the Spartan IV programme serve well as the UNSC's premier special forces, the ODSTs continue to play their part and the ODST branch even serves as a proving ground for Spartan augmentation candidates.

Range: Standard Melee Range themselves and with melee weapons such as combat knives. Dozens to hundreds of metres with various weapons. Up to a couple of kilometres with long range weapons such as the SRS-99 series rifles.
Standard Equipment:
* Has access and training with all weapons in the UNSC arsenal and standard carry can vary. Standard ODSTs gennerally carry, Caseless Submachine gun both normal and silenced versions. As well as the MA5B assault rifle (and other varous versions), and any of the various Pistols available.
* Wears the ODST battle armor This tough armor is made up of titanium and ceramic composite armor plating and features a vacuum rating making it capable of EVA activity for only up to 15 minutes, and as well contains temperature control.
* The ODST battle armor also contains a gel layer, which gives minor protection against energy weapons, and reduce the impact felt from bullets hitting the armor, reducing possible pain from deflecting a shot.
* While not trained the ODST is able to use most/all covenant weapons if found on the battlefield and can be assumed to be able to use most fire arms found on the battle field if need be.
* VISR the VISR system gives the ODST plenty of extra information about the battlefield in real time (it can be noted the version of the VISR system given to the ODST is more advanced than that which spartans use)
* The standard dark cammo coloring of the armor helps the ODST easily remain out of sight in dark areas and temperature control on the armor can let its heat signature match the current climate making it invisible to heat tracking equipment.
* The glass like material protecting the face can change between clear and a silver/blue color obscuring the users face while not obscuring the ODST's vision at all.
* ODST's can some times be equipped with the Jetpack Allowing them short bursts of flight and increased mobility
Intelligence: Varies from soldier to soldier. Can range from Above Average to Genius level. All of them are nonetheless, being the premier special forces division of the UNSC outside of the Spartan programmes, highly trained and skilled soldiers and not to be taken lightly.
Weaknesses: armor fails to provide much protection against energy weapons.
