[22] They would commandeer a Covenant vessel, locate the Covenant homeworld, and return with captured Covenant leadership to force a ceasefire. [6], In the initial studies and research conducted on possible procedures, two of the proposed augmentations were rejected because of their risks and drawbacks. Using such controversial means of creating a soldier meant that the project would have to be carried out in the highest form of secrecy. [14] During the events on the planet Onyx in 2552, Will-043 used his enhanced strength to engage a Hunter pair in hand-to-hand combat, and succeeded in killing one by tearing the worms from its bruised body. [36], As of April 2559, there are fourteen active Spartan-IIs, of whom only the members of Blue and Red teams remained under NAVSPECWAR's operational command, while Gray Team and Naomi-010 continued operating under authority of the Office of Naval Intelligence. [22][29] SPARTAN-IIs are also known for their sharp eyesight, their occipital capillary reversal allowing them to virtually see in the dark. [6], Despite the tremendous risk and the unethical means of creating new soldiers, ORION Generation II was greenlit by the top brass within the Office of Naval Intelligence, who concluded that the lives that could be saved far outweighed the risks involved. The Spartan IIIs augmentations were the same, but safer, essentially a quantum leap in the technology. The subject may have experienced neurological confusion that included falling over, exaggerated reflexes, and difficulty grabbing and holding objects. This was presumably made possible by Halsey's insistence that no invasive autopsies be performed and that the funeral for those killed by the procedures be closed-casket, the cadavers instead remaining in cold storage. Catherine Halsey overlooks her Spartans as they undergo their augmentations. [29] The status of Omega Team remains unknown. This is for morale purposes, to enable the claim that no Spartan has ever been killed. [19] The augmentation procedures performed on the SPARTAN-IIs paved the way for a set of improved procedures known as Project CHRYSANTHEMUM for the Spartan-IIIs. By default they are equipped with a pair of submachine guns. Parangosky viewed the clones as unnecessary, maintaining that Halsey replaced the abductees with clones for personal, moral reasons, believing that she was giving the families closure and thus easing her own conscience. The Master Chief among a group of Marines. [16] The Spartans' prowess was not lost on the Covenant, who came to fear, and in the case of the Sangheili, respect the Spartans as Demons. Red Flag was also basically a hail mary even the Spartans weren't sure would work. [66], The Spartan-IIs enjoy a large degree of operational autonomy in the field and typically operate in teams of three to five and even individually,[27] although the size and composition of these teams is heavily mission-specific; a team leader will typically pick the Spartans best suited for the mission at hand according to their personal talents. [4] Early analysis concluded that next-generation candidates must have "more malleable, robust DNA structure and repair enzymes," this being based on the fundamental flaw of the augmentation procedures performed on the ORION soldiers. Rather than be buried or cremated their bodies were cryogenically preserved with the hopes of one day reviving these candidates. I see a number of people claim the S3's weren't augmented as well as the S2's. I also see claims that Noble Team had inferior armor to John and the other S2's, or that Jorge is an inferior S2 and is older than John. Sangheili have drugs that are used not only for healing, but also for memory improvement and for dealing with anxiety. [5], The augmentation procedures themselves took place aboard Medical Facility Endurance in orbit over Reach and began on March 9, 2525.[7]. Together, they are able to detect movement, light and color, and relay that information back to the brain. [27], In 2557, after being missing in action for nearly five years, John-117 stopped the Ur-Didact's attack on Earth after linking up with the UNSC Infinity on Requiem. I do not recall any information on the Alpha group, but I do know the Beta and Gamma groups had a 100% success rate for augmentations. Linda-058. John-117 after going through the augmentation procedures. [84] The Office of Naval Intelligence would ultimately cancel Class II due to the lack of sufficient candidates. Dr. Halsey's proposal for the project detailed radical changes from the original ORION in many different fields. The standard neural interface provides the neural link between the Spartan-II and the Mjolnir armor. That is. [33][Note 5] During the Battle of Installation 04, a 41 year old MJOLNIR armored John-117 flipped a Warthog and later broke the skull of a Sangheili soldier with his fist, after it was weakened by a grenade. Suppressed sexual drive. Only three can be deployed for an army but they do not take up population. This bonding is likely achieved through some biochemical means to encourage natural bone integration and a tendency of the body to reattach the bone and ceramic if somehow separated. [22] The Spartans' reaction times were noted to be significantly faster in combat situations or with assistance from an AI. CMDR Dantae said: At the start of the war. Detail of the surgical scars on the forearms of a SPARTAN-II, in this case John-117. [83] Halsey eventually gave up on Class II and left the program, after she judged the candidates to be of an inferior standard. This procedure produces a marked increase in visual perception. Seeing as MJOLNIR has never been directly shown to automatically increase the sprint speed of a Spartan without the assistance of an. [9][10], The SPARTAN-IV program was the first supersoldier project after ORION to use volunteering adult subjects, something that had been discarded in the previous programs due to the technological and psychological challenges involved. [22], An illustration detailing the muscular augmentations performed on a Spartan-II's arm, A screen monitoring Carter-A259's CHRYSANTHEMUM augmentations, SPARTAN-IV Sarah Palmer undergoing her augmentations, An overview of the Spartan-IVs' augmentations, Prelate Tem'Bhetek, an augmented San'Shyuum, https://www.halopedia.org/index.php?title=Biological_augmentation&oldid=1531962. The Forerunners used artificially-induced mutations consisting of a combination of genetic engineering, gene therapy and biochemical manipulation to custom-tailor an individual's body to a form considered suited for their social standing and field of work in a rate. Covenant strikecraft pilots connect to their flight systems using direct neural interfaces, which employ very minimal safety cutouts or filters. Specific risk for pre-and near-postpubescent adolescents: skeletal growth spurts may cause irreparable bone pulverization. [50], The Spartan-IIs' training emphasized dedication to one's duty as well as winning at any cost, values most of the active Spartan-IIs remain committed to. The conflict also eliminated both Sangheili factions with only Rojka 'Kasaan surviving. [32], On September 1, 2558, Gray Team were awakened from cryo and found themselves in the middle of a battle between two Sangheili factions, a Jiralhanae faction and the citizens of Suraka on the planet Carrow. [29] All Spartan-IIs graduated to the rank of petty officer second class at the conclusion of their training,[64] though many have since risen to a higher rank. The SPARTAN-II candidates being taught by Dj in Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series. [68] On some missions, Red Team has formed smaller splinter units (designated with Greek alphabet) to better suit the mission objectives at the time. The selection criteria could be loosened, and the procedures' mortality rate could be eliminated to zero. [38] During Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE, Fred-104 successfully struck an Aggressor Sentinel to the ground and physically stalemated the drone as it started to push him around. [58] Although the Spartan-IIs often have difficulty socializing with baseline humans outside situations of a strictly military nature, they are rather gregarious among themselves and habitually cluster together while out of the battlefield, commonly engaging in activities such as playing cards, exercising together, reading, or maintaining their personal equipment. Each procedure was marked with its own unbearable pain. Surgeon Reacts to Spartan II Augmentations - YouTube from the year 2500) is possible with modern medical science. [7], The SPARTAN-II augmentations included many previously-untested procedures, among them synthetic bone grafts, hormonal supplements, retinal surgery, intramuscular protein injections and major alteration of the subject's nervous system. Each Spartan is assigned to a different leader: Alice to Isabel, Douglas to Professor Anders, and Jerome to Captain Cutter.

Rather than be buried or cremated, the bodies of the deceased were cryogenically preserved with the hopes of one day reviving these candidates. So stop this non-sense about their augs being inferior when they were actually much more technologically advanced and safer. They were trained to be survivors from the age of 5 (ish), to be the best of the best. Heights exceeding two meters were practically ubiquitous among them and weights in excess of 200 pounds were common. If the subject has survived the changes, the final part of the augmentation is performed. The artifact unlocked several of John's sealed childhood memories, worrying Halsey and Parangosky. [37], In December 2559, Captain Thomas Lasky redeployed the rest of Blue Team on a separate operation of some kind as the Infinity prepared to deploy the Master Chief and the Weapon to Installation 07 to stop Cortana. In the campaign, Spartan Red Team is recruited on Arcadia and available for all missions after Arcadia City. She was part of a group known a. [5], The first major effort to create biochemically-augmented supersoldiers was known as Project ORION. The first bio-engineering protocol was established to help humans adjust to long duration spaceflight and different planetary environmental conditions, and subsequently for interplanetary war. [6], Halsey was not satisfied with the project's original name of ORION Project, Generation II; thus, she renamed it out of personal preference, as well as to distance the project from the failures of ORION in the minds of the politico and military bureaucrats who controlled the project's budget. Spartan-II is an acquired template gained during the Spartan Program. [8][14], Once the augmentation procedures are finished, the subject begins a long recovery process. [11], During the occipital capillary reversal, a neurosurgeon cuts out a small space in the skull, exposing the brain. [13], To marginalize the civilian lives they had once led, their names became a combination of their given names and numbered service tag, with family names being discarded. There are sixteen Spartan 1.1s, including Janissary James and Kevin Morales. Kelly and pretty much all the other female SPARTANS hated this more than any other of the augmentations because it took something away from them that was never meant to be taken away from a woman. The Class of 2537 has not been referenced in any official media barring the quasi-canonical, Last edited on February 8, 2023, at 23:00, Seal of the President of the United States, Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series, Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe, https://www.halopedia.org/index.php?title=SPARTAN-II_program&oldid=1569384, Class I: 75 before augmentation; 33+ after augmentation. Once the surgery is complete, the piece of the subject's skull that was removed in order to access the occipital lobe is repaired and the subject's head is bandaged. Military experimentation of such enhancements has always been limited for the sake of moral and ethical concerns. [48] Ultimately he came to be much shorter than other Spartans and had some scars from the procedures to reverse the augmentations.[49]. [6], Dr. Halsey's use of cloning, following the dissemination of information on the project to the rest of ONI, came to be regarded one of the most controversial decisions involved with the program. Also, even though several of the augmentations below are cybernetics, they are an intrinsic part of the Spartan II and therefore do not count . Rescued in May 2560, the Master Chief played a vital role in the Battle for Zeta Halo against the Banished and the Harbinger. Like the augmentations performed for the Spartan-IIs and the improved procedures utilized in the subsequent SPARTAN-III program, the Spartan-IVs undergo a series of procedures to enhance their physical capabilities and to wear Mjolnir powered armor. As the exploits of the Spartans were a major propaganda boon to the UNSC, Section II of the Office of Naval Intelligence issued Directive 930,[16] which stated that Spartans killed or wounded would be listed as "missing in action" (MIA) or "wounded in action" (WIA), thus maintaining the illusion of the Spartans' invincibility. 3.8% failure rate due to possible mutations and compromised bone marrow matrix integrity. The first goal was to create a group of elite soldiers meant to subdue insurrections in their infancy, without substantial military casualties. Spartan-IIs experienced the most extensive and invasive physical augmentations out of all the Spartan generations, starting augmentation at early pubescent ages increased their physical mass and height to around seven feet by adult age. [29][30] Team Black was stationed on Installation 03,[31] until they were killed by the Didact, dwindling the known number of active Spartan-IIs at the moment, down to eight. Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe, Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series, https://www.halopedia.org/index.php?title=Project_ASTER&oldid=1567023. Military experimentation with such enhancements has always been limited for the sake of moral and ethical concerns. A Spartan-II candidate who died during augmentations. In exchange, they would receive a pardon from Thel 'Vadam for their actions. Six more Spartans are available during the mission Arcadia Outskirts, identified as Team Omega.[91]. Protein complex is injected intramuscularly to increase tissue density and decrease lactase recovery time. In addition to the growth hormone catalyst, a protein complex is injected intramuscularly that targets the muscles' intracellular molecular machinery to help increase muscle strength and endurance. Illustration of the Carbide Ceramic Ossification. After each meal, the subject must report to the medical bay to receive a series of vitamin and mineral injections.[15]. [26] Some Spartan-IIs are known to have taken part in the training of Spartan-IV personnel. Spartan II Spartan II's were kidnapped at the age of 6/7 and trained to become super soldiers. [24][Note 2], The SPARTAN-IIs were capable of lifting at least three times their body weight without the aid of their MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor[Note 3] when they were 14 years old. The Spartan IIs were trained for 6 years with an extra year after augmentation, and were pushed to the limits of human ability but were intended to be capable of being Officers, and taught education as well as tactics. Because of the requirements, the best candidates who would adapt without severe side effects were those of prepubescent age. It would seem likely that Chief would not be able to see the "pilot of the lead banshee slump" or a Blood stain large enough to be visible in the cockpit unless the banshees cowlings were open even before they were shot down by Linda. She followed up her maneuver by using the mongoose as an improvised hammer, smashing three Grunts into the ground, pulverizing them in the process.[18]. [23] The augmentation procedures performed on the SPARTAN-IIs paved the way for Project CHRYSANTHEMUM and thusfor the "disposable" SPARTAN-IIIs. The project was initially granted funding for 300 candidates, though funding was later reduced to half this number. [3][4], Since the dawn of widespread spaceflight, humans have sought to use biochemical, surgical and cybernetic means to augment their bodies. The process of augmenting the SPARTAN-IIs was divided into two parts, surgical procedures and injection procedures. Most of them do not hold grudges over their abduction and treatment, instead having come to embrace their lives as a Spartan as both a necessity and something they were born to do. Spartan-IIs experienced the most extensive and invasive physical augmentations out of all the Spartan generations, starting augmentation at early pubescent ages increased their physical mass and height to around seven feet by adult age. One of the essential and most dangerous aspects of the SPARTAN-II program was the biological augmentation procedures. [88], In 2552, Silver Team was sent to the Outer Colony Madrigal where the Covenant were attacking an Insurrectionist outpost. 75 children, all around six years old and of both sexes, were kidnapped. SPARTAN-IIs also underwent extensive gene therapy. Some Spartan-II teams appear to have been more well-established since their training, namely Black and Gray teams which continued to operate with their compositions unchanged over the Covenant War.[55]. 2% of subjects acquire elephantiasis. Recommended coverage not to exceed 3% total bone mass because of significant white blood cell necrosis. However, as technology improved and as scientists continued to understand the human body, advancements paved the way for the eventual use of body enhancement chemicals. She considered several other "bellicose" names, including Praetorians, Landsknecht, Immortals, Minutemen, Titans, Argonauts, Odysseus, Olympians, Zulu, Kronos, Promethean, Armor, Nemesis, Daedalus, Hercules, Viking, and Hyperion; the latter two were quickly excluded.[6]. With the Mjolnir armor, the Spartans would be the first major UNSC response to the alien threat. The result of these programs, however, has yet to be determined. [6] The project was created with several goals in mind. He was able to hold a Jiralhanae Warlord's jaw and pull the Chieftain to the ground despite its weight, while uppercutting another Jiralhanae with his shotgun; single-handedly launching the enemy several meters away. Ultimately John-117 would eliminate the Covenant leadership with the help of the Flood and Thel 'Vadam, effectively defeating the Covenant and ending the war. As the hormone is released into the body the pellet dissolves and is absorbed. It's unclear whether or not John ran at this speed under the use of his own power or through the use of MJOLNIR armor. [23] John-117 has been noted to have run at around 105km/h or 65.2mph during a MJOLNIR Mark V training exercise; however, his Achilles tendon was torn because the strain put on his body was unsustainable. [35][Note 6], While trying to secure the space elevator in Havana during the Battle for Earth, Fred-104 clad in MJOLNIR Mark VI, fought and killed a Jiralhanae warrior in close quarters combat with a well placed strike to the Jiralhanae's neck and the entire magazine from his rifle. Dj instructing the Spartan-II children to their seats in a classroom in Halo: Fall of Reach. [4], From 2511 until the augmentation of the SPARTAN-IIs in 2525, research continued refining and improving the chemicals to reduce the failure rate. Blue Team during Operation: FIRST STRIKE in Halo: First Strike. Against the wishes of Vice Admiral Margaret Parangosky, Halsey sought to create Cortana to help them out. The subject may experience bleeding from the eyes, constant headaches, and aches in the bones. However, his Achilles tendon was torn because the strain put on his body was unsustainable. [90] They count as hero units and therefore cannot be killed, only knocked out and slowly healing until they are revived. The coverage of this procedure does not exceed 3% total bone mass due to significant white blood cell necrosis: effectively, the carbide ceramic can only comprise a thin outer "shell" bonded to each bone without interfering with bone functionality as organs. These augmentations were undergone by the children in the Spartan II Program and left some lasting scars. [70] Spartan-II teams are assigned color-based designations on a mission-specific basis, Blue, Red and Green teams being the most prominent of these. This produces the most prolonged delay in the rest of the augmentation procedures as the subject's body begins to alter as a result of the previous procedure. [33], In October 2558, Blue Team tried to prevent the rise of the Created, a faction of rebellious AIs and Promethean forces led by Cortana and the Warden Eternal, who used Forerunner Guardians to enforce the Mantle of Responsibility on the galaxy. The exact conditions of the shots that Linda took on those two Banshee pilots are unclear. [7], Initiated by Colonel James Ackerson, the SPARTAN-III program built upon Dr. Halsey's pioneering work on the preceding SPARTAN-II project. At least some of the candidates who were crippled may have been physically rehabilitated in later years.[6]. [17] It is common to find all of these varieties of medications in temples built for kaidons, which traditionally have been visited by them prior to planning a military campaign. While the SPARTAN-II augmentations would make the soldier significantly stronger and faster than an ORION operative, this came with a price: out of 75 candidates, only 33 survived the augmentation procedures, with the rest either killed or maimed for life. Their safety and effects varied substantially from subject to subject, with the benefits and risks varying with the surgeon, the surgical conditions, and the state of the patient. Rated: Fiction T - English - Tragedy . [25] Following the ceasefire, the surviving Spartan-IIs were offered the choice of integrating into the newly formed Spartan Operations branch along with the remaining Spartan-IIIs. Although his training methodology was tough, even brutal in some regards, Chief Petty Officer Mendez always instilled discipline, honor, and respect into the Spartans. In order to be considered for the spartan program, the potential recruit must have at least a 12 in every stat except Charisma. This allowed the creation of much larger numbers of supersoldiers than before, although the procedures still had to be performed at the onset of puberty. During their initial exercises in Reach's titanium mines, after recovering from the augmentations, the Spartans completely overpowered trainers wearing Mark I exoskeletons, outrunning their automated targeting systems and dismantling the heavy combat suits with their bare hands. The trailing Banshee was riderless as well only a blood-spattered cockpit and cowling." The carbide ceramic ossification was said to feel like the subject's bones were breaking, as if their marrow was made of glass and was being shattered. The Pillar of Autumn soon arrived at Halo Installation 04, which John-117 ultimately destroyed to prevent the spread of the Flood. Because of the requirements, the best suitable candidates who would adapt without severe side effects were those of prepubescent age. [5] The next was memory and cognitive enhancements; these were rejected based on the mental instabilities that could occur. Produces a marked visual perception increase. In mid 2558, their lifeboat was recovered by a Sangheili fleetmaster, Rojka 'Kaasan, who held them in stasis until their release a few months later. It is unknown as to what muscle groups were focused in this particular outlook. They must also have possessed superior physical and mental attributes. Mendez trained the Spartans until 2525 when, at the age of fourteen, they would go through the toughest part of their training: the biological augmentation procedures, which would kill 30 of the 75 conscripted children and cripple twelve others who would "wash out" of the SPARTAN-II program, going on to join the Office of Naval Intelligence. A SPARTAN-II's reaction time, while impossible to chart accurately, is estimated to be twenty milliseconds. In the ensuing disaster, most of the Spartan-IIs were killed, although some took shelter in ONI's CASTLE Base. [22] Experimental rehabilitation programs were performed on more than 80% of the washouts. [4][5] The catalytic thyroid implant and muscular enhancement injections produce extraordinary pain as if the subject's veins had been injected with napalm,[5][6] as well as pulsating, and the feeling of them being torn out of the subjects skin. [48], However single-minded many outsiders view them as, the Spartan-IIs remain independent thinkers;[49] from early on, Dr. Halsey's intent was to mold the candidates into effective soldiers through "persuasion and acclimation" as opposed to the brainwashing suggested by some of her colleagues within ONI, believing that in order to be truly efficient the Spartans must be able to properly understand and embrace the significance of their mission. Despite providing subtle enhancement in the areas of strength and speed, these augmentations were rather primitive in comparison to the supersoldiers created centuries later.
