Halo 5 OST Track; "Skeleton Crew" Meaning?!

Skeleton Crew;
The minimum number of personnel needed to operate and maintain an item at its most simple operating requirements, such as a ship or business, during an emergency or shut down, and at the same time, to keep vital functions operating.

A Guardian perhaps?

I think people are reading too much into soundtrack names

well its quite the coincidence considering. And the fact they seem to be in chronological order makes it even more viable.

I think it means that the crew consists of re-animated skeletons who are doomed to serve their captain for eternity.

Obviously this.

Spirit of Fire reference possibly?

All I can think of is the spirit of fire tbh

Double post sorry

It means the Master Chief and Blue Team were skeletons the whole time.

How did you miss it?

In the halo book mortal dictata chol said she sent a skeleton crew and I was soooo confused lol

Well, given when it plays during the Campaign, it’s likely referring to the fact that Fireteam Osiris are essentially the only humans still alive on Meridian. All your allies die when the space elevator’s ebrake activates, and it’s implied that there’s no one left on Meridian besides Evelyn, so it could be referencing the fact that with Osiris’ exit from Meridian, all the mining and deglassing operations are being run by a quite literal “skeleton crew.”
