SPARTAN Purple Team

SPARTAN Purple Team, often rendered simply as Purple Team, is a semi-constant detachment of the special mission unit SPARTAN-II Squadron, comprised of SIERRA assets with administrative support from Naval Special Warfare Command and operational command of Naval Special Weapons, with the latter often deferring individual mission oversight to Unified Ground Command or the Office of Naval Intelligence’s Section Three. Currently composed of Noah-124 as Team Leader and Heavy Weapons Specialist, Seth-146 as Scout and Drone Operator, Michael-138 as Engineer and Joint Fires Observer, and Jynn-113 as Marksman and Sensor Specialist. Despite each designation, all members have overlap between roles and the ability to replace a teammate in their assignment. 
Purple Team was originally formed around highly independent, individualistic, and socially unusual Spartans compared to their peers. As such, it’s roster remains virtually unchanged aside from temporary absences and additions. This atypical exclusivity put an emphasis on individual thought and action during their personalized team training. As part of a special mission unit, Purple Team is often tasked with highly complex and sensitive missions by the Secretary of Defense and the President of the United Earth Government, as well as preemptive strikes on high-value targets. Additionally, they are granted near unrestricted access to the entire arsenal of UNSC small arms, and vehicles—including various sonic, cryonic, energetic, incendiary, thermobaric, chemical, biological, nuclear, and experimental weapons. 
Purple Team has participated in over two-hundred military operations since its activation in 2525, combating Insurrectionists, the Covenant, and various Forerunner constructs. Its current mission revolves around Direct Action, Counterterrorism, Counterproliferation, Counterinsurgency, and Manhunt Operations against High-Value Targets. Most notably, Purple Team is spearheading the Counterproliferation of Powered Exoskeletons. Purple Team joined their peer teams as a household name when the unveiling of the SPARTAN-II program was expanded from only military personnel in 2547 to the wider civilian populace in 2549, with their legendary exploits and victories being regularly broadcasted throughout the colonies to boost waning morale.
Purple Team’s insignia features a yellow crescent moon as an homage to SPARTAN Yellow Team, which has been a mutual counterpart since their inception in 2517. The insignia also prominently features a Gilded Marble Fox, native to the planet Reach, chosen for its traditional representation of independence, resilience, and cunning. Notably, the insignia’s design was directly taken from, and in remembrance of, SPARTAN Silver Team.
