Surgeries were highly risky, intensive, and required special medical talent. 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. [13] During the Battle of Installation 04, John-117 was able to use his enhanced strength to kill a Special Ops Sangheili with a single punch. [22], Despite the carbide ceramic ossification rendering the Spartan-IIs' bones "virtually unbreakable",[6] they can still be broken by extreme physical trauma. In. [6], Though conventional body armor had protected soldiers for centuries, the Gen-II project's second radical change involved integrating the subject with a new powered exoskeleton device, designed to help keep its user safe and provide a powerful means of combating enemy forces. [6] By 2517, 150 suitable candidates had been identified through DNA gathered from the UNSC's Outer Colony vaccination program, though funding had been further reduced to support only half that number. Contents 1 History 1.1 Background 1.2 Creation 1.3 Training 1.4 Human-Covenant War 1.5 Post-war survivors The result of these programs, however, has yet to be determined. The only known candidate who was not conscripted was Caleb Aagard, who would have been designated SPARTAN-095. Therefore many of the Spartans' attributes have increased through time and acclimation. [12][13] The bodies of those candidates who "washed out" were placed in cryonic suspension in the hope that they could some day be resuscitated. In order to preserve the program's secrecy, the children were replaced by flash clones, which would die soon thereafter due to numerous medical complications associated with flash-cloning an entire human being. [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. During one of his missions, he lost his left arm and left mandibles. Each Spartan now uses a different weapon: Douglas-042 wields the rocket launcher, Alice-130 wields the machine gun turret and Jerome-092 wields the Spartan Laser when fully upgraded; however, all of them start with dual wielded M6C magnums and the "Spartan Slam" ability. Project Aster is the augmentation program for the Spartan-IIs. There is no difference. The result of these programs, however, has yet to be determined. There are sixteen Spartan 1.1s, including Janissary James and Kevin Morales. He taught the Spartans how to kill, but at the same time he taught them the difference between right and wrong. However, the Spartans still suffer from the negative effects of exposure to space and require medical treatment directly after to recover. Kelly-087. Each procedure was marked with its own unbearable pain. [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. 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]. 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. The ORION augmentations included enhancements to muscle density, lung capacity, vision, hearing and balance. 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. This is the GVWR, or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, of the. The subject may experience neurological confusion such as falling over, exaggerated reflexes, and problems grabbing or holding onto an object. They received the harshest and best augmentations, and the best quality of training. Answer (1 of 2): Spartan II's are the strongest by a large margin. After being ordered to assassinate Kwan, John rebelled and fled with her and the artifact with Silver Team moving to defend their leader on Halsey's orders. The subject may experience bleeding from the eyes, constant headaches, and aches in the bones. In the Halo Legends episode Odd One Out, SPARTAN-1337 was active and participated in combat at Cronkee. Either that or finally perfecting cloning tech and using DNA samples from the original Spartan 2 selections by Halsey to grow a new batch of children that can be given the OG augmentations and any newer upgrades and possibly faster growing to maturity so they're ready for deployment within 5 years. The Spartan-IIIs' augmentations allow them to remain conscious and even function effectively while exposed to the vacuum of space for up to a minute. Originally envisioned as the second generation of the ORION Project, the resulting program would differ greatly from its predecessor, with the resulting program becoming the first in . They possess numerous unique internal habits and signals conveyed through simple gestures or statements, making interactions among their group largely indecipherable to outsiders. 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. The exact conditions of the shots that Linda took on those two Banshee pilots are unclear. The thirty-three SPARTAN-IIs that were able to accomplish all this are without any serious physiological or mental instabilities.[21]. [10] Jerome-092 demonstrated this on the Banished ship Enduring Conviction making light work of the sangheili in the area with limited visibility. [15] In the same battle, Kelly-087 engaged three Sangheili Major/Minor Elites in hand-to-hand combat, snapping the wrist of one Elite, taking his energy sword, and cutting two other approaching Elites in half with a single swing. Spartans can receive the following upgrades. [23] The members of Gray Team were left drifting in space after their latest operation in late 2552 and went to cryo-sleep. Dr. Halsey's proposal for the project detailed radical changes from the original ORION in many different fields. Just because the S-II was more dangerous doesn't mean it was better. 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. These augmentations had a high rate of failure, and out of the 75 recruits who underwent them, only 33 passed through, unscathed, although ONI had secretly listed some Spartans as killed during augmentations, with them using the Spartans for different uses other than the mainstream ones, such as Black Team. Heights exceeding two meters were practically ubiquitous among them and weights in excess of 200 pounds were common. In the fighting game Dead or Alive 4, Nicole-458 is teleported back to the 21st-century aboard Nassau Station. Spartans cost 300 resources each and requires a tech level of 1. ONI's own projections at that time and up to 2525[10] concluded the same as Dr. Dj instructing the Spartan-II children to their seats in a classroom in Halo: Fall of Reach. The second goal was to minimize civilian casualties and avert civil war. [28] The motion of a Spartan in combat is nearly impossible for an outsider to follow, their movement appearing as a blur. Also, even though several of the augmentations below are cybernetics, they are an intrinsic part of the Spartan II and therefore do not count . Together they managed to destroy an underground Forerunner facility housing hundreds of thousands of Sharquoi under the control of Brute Chieftain Hekabe, preventing their deployment to other inhabited worlds and eliminating Hekabe's faction in the process, a dangerous force made up of several Jiralhanae war packs. The first and most controversial was the subjects themselves, who were selected by a gene-candidate pool, and must fit into a certain age restriction protocol. Serin-019 became an ONI operative. [62], The majority of the Spartan-IIs serve under Naval Special Weapons,[1][2] a division of the UNSC Special Forces with heavy ties to Section Three of the Office of Naval Intelligence, which initiated and operated the SPARTAN-II program. Using such controversial means of creating a soldier meant that the project would have to be carried out in the highest form of secrecy. In particular, John-117, the Spartans' de facto leader rose to the rank of Master Chief Petty Officer in 2526[65] while Frederic-104 was promoted to Lieutenant, Junior Grade in 2552 by Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose, himself a Spartan-II who had been recruited to lead the SPARTAN-III program years before. Superconducting Fibrification of Neural Dendrites. The SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures were a series of biochemical and biomechanical manipulations applied to SPARTAN-II Conscripts at the onset of puberty. 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. [36] During the Battle Of Onyx, Will-043 engaged a Hunter pair in hand to hand combat, and succeeded in killing one by ripping the worms out of its body, after Linda-058 bruised its mid-section with her sniper rifle. Together, they are able to detect movement, light and color, and relay that information back to the brain. Advanced material grafting onto skeletal structures to make bones virtually unbreakable. [15] Further medical advances have been made in areas not directly related to physical performance but nonetheless improving humans' quality of life. [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. The project was initially granted funding for 300 candidates, though funding was later reduced to half this number. [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. The growth hormone is released and progressively works its way through the body, stimulating the growth of skeletal and muscle tissue. In 2547,[15] the SPARTAN-II program was revealed to the public in an effort to boost morale among the UNSC. 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. The III's were war orphans who volunteered. As an idiosyncrasy of their warrior culture, the Sangheili view the notion of doctors as dishonorable. Later models of the Mjolnir system are capable of carrying a starship-grade AI which can provide tactical data in the field. Seeing as MJOLNIR has never been directly shown to automatically increase the sprint speed of a Spartan without the assistance of an. 5% of test subjects experience a fatal cardiac volume increase. Generation II of the ORION Project was initiated in 2511 as the best possible solution to end the widespread insurgency that raged throughout UNSC space. [47], Randall-037 emerged from the augmentation procedures unscathed and served on the frontlines until he went missing in action in 2532. Spartan-I candidate James James (formerly James Lee) had a child named Janissary James who had some of the genetic augmentations her father had. Because of the requirements, the best suitable candidates who would adapt without severe side effects were those of prepubescent age. Among those who survived was Nicole-458. Could We Create MASTER CHIEF Today? 11% of subjects could face retinal rejection and detachment causing permanent blindness. One unidentified trainee - Committed suicide after escaping the program in 2525. Surgeries were highly risky, intensive, and required special medical talent. A notable exception to this are the biochemical and cybernetic augmentations used in the SPARTAN programs, which represent the peak of human biological and cybernetic enhancement. All Spartans receive upgrades equally for Tier 1 and 3 but only in Tier 2 will each Spartan receive their personal weapon based on the Leader that the player picked. [8][14], Once the augmentation procedures are finished, the subject begins a long recovery process. To marginalize the civilian lives they had once led, their names became a combination of their given names and a number, with family names being discarded. The artifact unlocked several of John's sealed childhood memories, worrying Halsey and Parangosky. [56] Having been taught to refrain from overt emotional displays, the Spartan-IIs most commonly convey their emotions through subtle body language and cryptic gestures. 3.8% failure rate due to possible mutations and compromised bone marrow matrix integrity. 12% of subjects can contract Parkinson's Disease and Fletcher's Syndrome. [17], Due to the risky and dangerous nature of the augmentation procedures, many of the fourteen-year-old candidates died or "washed out" as their bodies rejected the modifications being made. [31], A MJOLNIR-clad Cal-141 was capable of blocking a Jiralhanae Chieftain's gravity hammer swing with a single hand, dodging multiple swings from the Brute, using her enhanced strength to jump to great heights, and wounding the Chieftain with a few punches and kicks; she was furthermore capable of pulling an occupied ODST drop pod out of thick mud and throwing it dozens of meters. In exchange, they would receive a pardon from Thel 'Vadam for their actions. [32] As he was trying to delete Gamma Station's navigation data during the Fall of Reach, a MJOLNIR clad John-117 physically stalemated a Sangheili in a zero-g grapple and wrestled it for control over a plasma pistol; he successfully killed it by striking it in the face with his elbow and shooting it with the plasma pistol. Human biochemical experiments and enhancement procedures have been a part of society dating back to the 20th century. The process of augmenting the SPARTAN-IIs was divided into two parts, surgical procedures and injection procedures. A member of Gray Team during the Battle of the Rubble in Halo: The Cole Protocol. There were too few candidates that were in sync with her age and genetic restriction protocols and a majority of her funding was going towards Mjolnir maintenance and construction; this left little room for continued training efforts. [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. Platinum pellet containing human growth hormone catalyst is implanted in the thyroid to boost growth of skeletal and muscle tissues. [22], When wearing MJOLNIR armor, a Spartan's strength is boosted significantly. The following is the list of all known Spartan-II subjects conscripted in 2517. [42] At least John-117, who was elevated to a legendary status as the "Master Chief" in the final months of the war, was given an elaborate, inspiring origin story to hide his true background, promoted by several individuals claiming to have known or interacted with John at some point. [52][53], The Spartan-IIs enjoy a great deal of solidarity and camaraderie within their group due to them having grown up together; indeed, they consider their fellow Spartans family,[54][55] something that was encouraged in their indoctrination from a young age. [43], Three discharged Spartans have had the effects of their augmentations reduced through unknown means. In the new DLC, Jerome is a leader himself, using Mark IV GEN2 armor obtained from Isabel and Hydra MLRS as a loadout, along with a new mech. Sixteen Spartan-IIs are known to have survived the Covenant War: John-117, Frederic-104, Kelly-087, Linda-058, Naomi-010, Jai-006, Adriana-111, Michael-120, Leon-011, Robert-025, August-099, Randall-037, Otto-031, Victor-101, Margaret-053, and Roma-143; the last five have since been killed. assistance. [72] However, at least one of the candidates allegedly killed by the augmentation procedures actually lived and were pressed into ONI service, their survival kept secret from their peers. [6] As such, the Spartans possess a profound understanding of their role as weapons and the weight of the life imposed on them. [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. [20] SPARTAN-IIs are also known for their sharp eyesight being able to virtually see in the dark. [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. Fred-104 with Olivia-G291 and Veta Lopis in Halo: Last Light. Research on the then-named ORION Generation II augmentations began five years after the deactivation of the ORION Project. The candidate's bones are exposed via surgery or procedurally sequential surgeries. The conflict also eliminated both Sangheili factions with only Rojka 'Kasaan surviving. The trailing Banshee was riderless as well only a blood-spattered cockpit and cowling." [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. Rather than be buried or cremated, the bodies of the deceased were cryogenically preserved with the hopes of one day reviving these candidates. The beginnings of the program can be traced back to 2321, when the Office of Naval Intelligence began to build upon bioengineering protocols developed during the Interplanetary Wars. However, they did encourage the UNSC to continue research into human enhancement. [16], Following the Human-Covenant War any sufficiently wealthy private party could replicate the effects of the Spartan augmentations. 'Rdomnai had the two replaced with prostheses, despite robotic replacements being antithetical to Covenant tradition and principles. Rare instances of Elephantiasis. With the Mjolnir armor, the Spartans would be the first major UNSC response to the alien threat. If the subject has survived the changes, the final part of the augmentation is performed. The first goal was to create a group of elite soldiers meant to subdue insurrections in their infancy, without substantial military casualties. Linda-058. In pre-and near-postpubescent adolescents, skeletal growth spurts may cause irreparable bone pulverization. The service record of Randall Aiken, a retired Spartan-II. [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. This specialized version of the neural interface is implanted into the skull of a Spartan-II. [5], The first major effort to create biochemically-augmented supersoldiers was known as Project ORION. [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. In order to be considered for the spartan program, the potential recruit must have at least a 12 in every stat except Charisma. Specific risk for pre-and near-postpubescent adolescents: skeletal growth spurts may cause irreparable bone pulverization. Surgery is performed on the occipital lobe of the left cerebral hemisphere of the brain; the occipital lobe is the visual processing center of the brain, containing most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex. forthnback 12 years ago #1. 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.
