The ODST are the second most effective type of human soldier, next to Spartans. ODST's are commonly called Helljumpers because of their means of getting to the enemy. They are basically fired out of a ship that is in orbit around a planet in an Human Entry Vehicle pod, or HEV. The temperature becomes extremely hot inside the pod during a jump, and sometimes it can become fatal. The ODST branch takes a certain kind of crazy to join. They aren't particularly friendly towards people who are not members of their organization, especially towards the Spartans.
