Halo ODST Facts, Lore, & Trivia

The Halo series features many different branches of the future human military organization known as the UNSC (United Earth Space Command). As humanity is forced to reckon with the extraterrestrial theocratic hegemony that is the Covenant, every single element of the military has been mobilized in an effort to combat this grave threat, from the enlisted Marine to the hulking Spartan super soldier. One group in particular that has caught the eye of fans since its introduction in Halo 2 is the ODST (short for Orbital Drop Shock Troopers).
