Jet Thompson

Spartan Jet Thompson (Service Number 65392-23581-JT) is a of Fireteam Amber and former who served throughout the as part of Glacier Company's Gamma-Three.
==Biography==
Jet was born to Dareth and Anne Thompson on the farming colony of Crest as the second of three children. His early childhood was mostly spent aiding the family in maintaining their sizable ranch outside the colonial village of Roanoke. Inspired by the military career of his older sister Erika, Jet enlisted in the at the age of 19 during her service in the Harvest Campaign.
Following Erika's death during the war, Jet returned to Crest to aid his family, who had been struggling to meet demands as Crest became more and more critical as a farming colony. Jet's desire to continue service brought him back to the Marine Corps within the year. At the time, he elected to forgo a large portion of his inheritance, valuing his sister Anna Rei's commitment to the ranch.
During Jet's return to service, he passed selection and completed his training to join the Marine Raiders, which he served with until 2545 when he volunteered for the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. He spent his entire career in the ODSTs as part of Glacier Company's combat team Gamma-Three, initially under the command of Staff Sergeant Hope.
Following Glacier Company taking heavy casualties at the Battle of Sargasso, Jet Thompson was thrust into a leadership role as the assistant team leader beneath Hope. Gamma-Three consolidated with combat team Gamma-Five, introducing Jet to his future companion Isaac Anderson Hallas.
Near the end of the war, Glacier Company suffered heavy losses and Gamma-Three, now lead by Jet, was forced to retreat aboard a wounded frigate different than their usual deployment. A small Covenant force pursued the frigate following its blind jump and subsequent crash landing. Jet, injured during the crash, spent the following month helping the stranded survivors search for a means to return home. During this time, Jet was able to utilize a rudimentary translation of Forerunner glyphs to operate a slipspace teleportation network.
As the teleportation network operated utilizing star maps, Jet was able to recognize a familiar night sky and return the survivors to his homeworld of Crest, arriving at the tail end of the colony's invasion. While what was left of Gamma-Three was able to evacuate the planet before it was glassed, Jet's family was presumed lost. His final days of the war were spent fighting in city streets on Tribute alongside Anderson.
Following the war, Jet accepted an invite into the Spartan-IV program, entrusting Gamma-Three to Anderson. He and another survivor of the fall of Crest, Cora Waters, grouped up with Abby Green and Max Devereux to form Fireteam Amber, a team with consistently high performance evaluations since their introduction to the program. As Amber saw great success earning championship victories in 2554 and 2555, the fireteam worked closely with the Point-Five Group, where Thompson became a advertising spokesperson for their energy drink brand Jet Fuel. He spent much of the post-war era as a propaganda figure due to his natural optimism and public recognition, participating in the civilian sector even more than his fireteam leader Green.
During the Created conflict, Amber returned to Crest to further investigate the teleportation network Jet previously utilized, discovering it was a component of the Forerunners' Nimalrium operation. With the help of Commander Zachary Rayne, Theia, and Monarch, Amber was able to escape Crest with a restored which the team dubbed Steelskin. In 2559, the crew of the Steelskin aligned themselves with the Quillick.
