It is unknown as to what muscle groups were focused in this particular outlook. [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. forthnback 12 years ago #1. They were trained to be survivors from the age of 5 (ish), to be the best of the best. This thread is archived Project: ASTER[2] was the codename for the series of biochemical and biomechanical augmentation procedures applied to SPARTAN-II conscripts at the onset of puberty. The carbide ceramic ossification is said to feel like the subject's bones are breaking, and as if their marrow is made of glass and is being shattered. 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. [43] Admiral Parangosky planned to unveil the SPARTAN-II program's classified aspects to the UEG defense committee by early 2553,[44] although any information on the Spartan-IIs origins remained unconfirmed among military personnel as of 2555. An illustration showing the arm before augmentation and after. [40] Fostering this accomplishment, Spartan-IIs donning Mjolnir have in many instances been shown as capable of throwing armored Jiralhanae from their vehicles. Sangheili have drugs that are used not only for healing, but also for memory improvement and for dealing with anxiety. 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. Surgeries were highly risky, intensive, and required special medical talent. However, the Spartans who did survive became the most effective soldiers to be ever fielded by humanity, with superhuman strength, reflexes and stamina as well as virtually unbreakable bones. [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. The extent and severity of the augmentations likely left many scars. During the Battle of the Rubble in 2535, Adriana-111, while clad in Mark IV armor, used her enhanced strength to lift a 1077 kilogram (2370lb)[Note 4] Mongoose by the handle bars and ram several Grunts with it. The status of candidates 116, 118, 119, 121, 123, and 124 after, The SPARTAN-II program's methodology mirrors the, The SPARTAN-II seal closely resembles the modern, The SPARTAN-II program is reminiscent of the Adam Project depicted in the 1998 film, Despite Spartans being listed as Missing in Action when they are killed, several have actually gone MIA. [21], As a crude replication of the technologies used to forge the Spartans, human Insurrectionists use "rumbledrugs" which degenerate the user's body but grant them superhuman abilities for a short time, potentially giving them a fighting chance against Spartans. In the campaign, Spartan Red Team is recruited on Arcadia and available for all missions after Arcadia City. Alteration of bioeletrical nerve transduction to shielded electronic transduction. Despite the Spartans aiding the Insurrectionists against the Sangheili, all but Kwan Ha were killed. Together, they are able to detect movement, light and color, and relay that information back to the brain. Featured. 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. The effect of the muscles increasing in density is said to feel like the entire body was on fire mixed with the feeling of plate glass shattering and being worked into the subject's body. 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 . 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. [9] The report rationalized that the instability would continue to escalate, and unless drastic military measures were taken, would result in a massive war between the Inner and Outer Colonies. 'Rdomnai had the two replaced with prostheses, despite robotic replacements being antithetical to Covenant tradition and principles. [35], In February 2559, after 28 years of drifting in space the UNSC Spirit of Fire found its way to the Forerunner Installation 00, also known as the Ark. UNSC personnel are equipped with neural implants, more sophisticated models of whichtypically issued to ship captainsenable a human mind to interface with computer systems and receive or send information. Illustration of the rods and cones of the human eye. 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. 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. [12], The SPARTAN-IIs are capable of lifting three times their body weight, which is double the normal weight of an average human dueto the ceramic bone augmentations, in addition to their increased muscle density. Technologically, however, the new augmentations represented a major improvement over the previous program, while being cheaper than before: much less surgery was required, with most of the enhancements administered via chemical means. Only a small percentage of subjects survived the process and fully recovered. After being kidnapped and sedated, the Spartan-II candidates were taken to the colony world Reach, where they began their training under Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez and the AI Dj, who also acted as an aide for Halsey on the program. The exact conditions of the shots that Linda took on those two Banshee pilots are unclear. [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. [20] SPARTAN-IIs are also known for their sharp eyesight being able to virtually see in the dark. 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. The project was implemented by the Office of Naval Intelligence's Section Three under the supervision of Dr. Catherine Halsey.[2]. [39], In 2559, during Second Ark Conflict, a self-standing Jerome-092 defeated numerous Jiralhanae and Sangheili inside the Enduring Conviction. [22] Experimental rehabilitation programs were performed on more than 80% of the washouts. 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. Fred-104. [22] These reflexes allowed Spartans to successfully dodge gunfire on certain occasions. Also, even though several of the augmentations below are cybernetics, they are an intrinsic part of the Spartan II and therefore do not count . John-117 was outfitted with this upgrade due to his need to carry the AI Cortana on a mission to capture the Covenant leadership. Rescued in May 2560, the Master Chief played a vital role in the Battle for Zeta Halo against the Banished and the Harbinger. Advanced material grafting onto skeletal structures to make bones virtually unbreakable. And the Infinity wasn't even complete when the war ended, so the idea that the UNSC was suddenly going to pack millions of people into it and run away is similarly . As a result, they were not on the ship when it was attacked by the Banished and the Master Chief was thrown into space. This compounded an increasing distrust against ONI and the Spartans generated by a recent attack on a peace conference apparently perpetrated by the Master Chief. [87][notes 2]. They can be built from a Barracks and are perhaps the most versatile units in the game. [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. The hormone also targets osteoblasts to help boost bone tissue formation and effectively strengthen the bone structure. The following is the list of all known Spartan-II subjects conscripted in 2517. [20], The results of the augmentations on the successful candidates were unprecedented; the SPARTAN-IIs performed well beyond the projected capabilities. The Spartans joined forces with local militia and remnants of one of the Sangheili groups to protect civilians from the Jiralhanae invaders. Spartan-III and Spartan-II's Augmentations were equally effective. 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. Halsey presented her results to Vice Admiral Michael Stanforth of ONI Section III, finding that they had come to the same conclusions. Project Aster is the augmentation program for the Spartan-IIs. The majority of these former candidates were later reassigned to the Office of Naval Intelligence. The first goal was to create a group of elite soldiers meant to subdue insurrections in their infancy, without substantial military casualties. One observed physical effect; the result of being fed growth hormone supplements, many SPARTANs were exceptionally tall and heavy. [61] Few outsiders are willing to as much as touch a Spartan, such as shaking one's hand. Among those who survived was Nicole-458. [4], From 2511 until the augmentation of the SPARTAN-IIs in 2525, research continued refining and improving the chemicals to reduce the failure rate. [47], Randall-037 emerged from the augmentation procedures unscathed and served on the frontlines until he went missing in action in 2532. 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. [43], Three discharged Spartans have had the effects of their augmentations reduced through unknown means. Headed by Dr. Catherine Halsey, early analysis concluded that next-generation candidates must have "more malleable, robust DNA structure and repair enzymes" and be selected through a stringent genetic screening process to avoid the washout rates of the ORION program. 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. 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. Officially, thirty Spartan candidates were killed when they failed to adapt to their physical enhancements; the only identified fatality was SPARTAN-073. Later, during the Human-Covenant war, while in her Mark V Mjolnir Armor, Kelly-087's top speed was recorded at 62 km/h or 38.5mph. Meanwhile, then-eighteen year old civilian scientist Dr. Catherine Halsey had been improving upon Carver's report on her own. The Human-Covenant War marked a change in objectives for the program; originally intended to quell rebellions, the Spartans were now forced into battle against a superior opponent to the insurrectionists: the Covenant. The trailing Banshee was riderless as well only a blood-spattered cockpit and cowling." They have frequently been shown to ignore concerns over their personal health as long as there remains a mission to complete[51] and tend to become incredibly frustrated when prevented from acting in a combat situation; because of this they generally prefer planetary operations to being based aboard starships with no way to contribute to an engagement. [6] The superconducting fabrication of neural dendrites was said to feel like fire was burning along the subject's nerves on their spines. The Spartan-IIs attend the funeral for those killed in the augmentations. Their reaction times are significantly faster in combat situations or with A.I. [15] Further medical advances have been made in areas not directly related to physical performance but nonetheless improving humans' quality of life. Naomi-010 wearing her Mark VII armor in Halo Mythos. Halo: Reach. By the 22nd century, cancer had been virtually eradicated from the human genome, with any isolated cases that do occur being easy to treat.[16]. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7Aj. John-117 after going through the augmentation procedures. Due to their parents' augmentations, the Spartan 1.1s had to receive injections in order to ensure normal growth without defects. [41] However, as of 2553, there were pervasive rumors among the UNSC military that the Spartans had been kidnapped as six-year-old children and replaced by flash clones. [1] While many of the changes were ostensibly cosmetic and made for cultural reasons, others were designed to enhance a Forerunner's abilities. According to it "any Spartan casualties are to be listed as Missing In Action (MIA) or Wounded In Action (WIA), but never Killed In Action (KIA)." The subject may experience bleeding from the eyes, constant headaches, and aches in the bones. Inevitably the small number of Spartan-IIs dwindled as casualties were sustained. 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. [34] However, their attempts proved to be unsuccessful. Once completed, the natural bonding of the skeleton to the ceramic layer continues while other stabilising and therapeutic procedures are performed. [47] Within the military and to the public the Spartans are only known by their service tags, consisting of "SPARTAN" followed by a numerical ID; only a select few outsiders know even their first names. 2% of subjects acquire elephantiasis. In order to pay homage to the sacrifice of the ORION project, she chose to call the project SPARTAN-II. [83] Halsey eventually gave up on Class II and left the program, after she judged the candidates to be of an inferior standard. Of these, Serin-019 and Ralph-103 were maimed by the procedures. Fred-104 with Olivia-G291 and Veta Lopis in Halo: Last Light. 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. The effect of the muscles increasing in density is said to make the subject feel like their entire body is on fire, mixed with the feeling of "plated glass shattering" and being worked in the subject's body. The subject may experience neurological confusion such as falling over, exaggerated reflexes, and problems grabbing or holding onto an object. [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. The trainees must be instilled with military value, and the understanding of war; something that cannot be taught to enlisted soldiers. Covenant strikecraft pilots connect to their flight systems using direct neural interfaces, which employ very minimal safety cutouts or filters. The service record of Randall Aiken, a retired Spartan-II. The Spartans reluctantly agreed to work for ONI, asking for a prowler of their own. During one of his missions, he lost his left arm and left mandibles. Although they would have to be applied while the candidates are still children, the augmentations are equal in capability to the Spartan II augmentations, but are vastly . This is evident by the significantly smaller size of S-IIIs . 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. [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. One of the essential and most dangerous aspects of the SPARTAN-II program was the biological augmentation procedures. [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. However, after five military candidates were selected and tested, the project was declared ineffective and the candidates were returned to their respective chains of command. [5], The augmentation procedures themselves took place aboard Medical Facility Endurance in orbit over Reach and began on March 9, 2525.[7]. 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. Spartans can receive the following upgrades. The Spartans also took part in an assassination mission at an Insurrectionist conference where John-117 killed Kwan Ha's mother and several other high-ranking Insurrectionists. 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. This redistribution of blood vessels boosts the flow of blood beneath the rods and cones of the subject's retina. It can provide a Spartan with an incredible amount of protection and strength. However, these augmentations would kill or cripple half of the Spartan II's, so only 33 out of the 75 were fit for duty afterwards. Candidates for the Spartan II program were also hand picked after a thorough filtering process to sort out those with perfect genetics. Had this been in the discipline of a bicep curl, a 3x coefficient would be considerably superhuman, and more aligned with their subsequent feats of physical strength in the excerpt. [10] Cal-141 was capable of negating a Jiralhanae Chieftain's Gravity Hammer swing with a single hand, dodging multiple retaliatory swings using her enhanced strength to jump great heights, and wound the massive adversary with a few punches and kicks. The process consisted of many injections and surgeries. At some point, the Spartans' memories of their past from before entering the program were sealed away by Dr. Catherine Halsey. The children of the ORIONs are sometimes referred to as Spartan 1.1s, reflecting the retroactive application of the SPARTAN-I moniker. A Spartan is equipped with energy shields, can wield different weapons, command friendly vehicles, hijack enemy ones, and gain up to 14 veterancy points while other units cap at 3. A scan of John-117's brain during the augmentation procedures. The survivors then carried out a raid that resulted in the destruction of a Covenant fleet anchorage, stalling a Covenant plan to invade Earth. 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. The SPARTAN-III augmentations were entirely chemical. Contents 1 History 1.1 Background 1.2 Creation 1.3 Training 1.4 Human-Covenant War 1.5 Post-war survivors The process and likely invasiveness of the procedure is what led to the high "failure" count. The SPARTAN-II trainees about to be introduced to the program. However, as DNA samples were covertly collected as part of the CAA's Outer Colony vaccination program, the UNSC had a rather comprehensive record of Outer Colony citizens to use for candidate selection. Seeing as MJOLNIR has never been directly shown to automatically increase the sprint speed of a Spartan without the assistance of an. [86] Another girl, Janissary James, was selected as a suitable candidate for training. [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. Surgeon Reacts to Spartan II. 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. [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. The standard neural interface provides the neural link between the Spartan-II and the Mjolnir armor. 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. Kelly-087. Only three can be deployed for an army but they do not take up population. Spartan II's are better, in pretty much every respect. Blue Team being briefed on the mission to rescue Dr. Halsey in Halo Legends: The Package. At age 14 (approx) they were massively augmented, becoming incredibly fast and strong, unlike anything else before them. [12], When the catalytic thyroid implant is inserted, surgery is performed on the thyroid gland, where an incision is made to the left thyroid gland large enough for a platinum pellet to be implanted; once done, the incision is closed up. This comprises exposing the skeletal structure, removing a small layer of surface bone (no more than 3% of the bone's volume), and then bonding the carbide ceramic shell in lieu of the removed surface bone material. Spartan-II candidates were all abducted from their families around the age of six in 2517. . Therefore many of the Spartans' attributes have increased through time and acclimation. [6] As such, the Spartans possess a profound understanding of their role as weapons and the weight of the life imposed on them. The result of these programs, however, has yet to be determined. Five percent (5%) of test subjects experience a fatal cardiac volume increase. Rated: Fiction T - English - Tragedy . The thirty-three SPARTAN-IIs that were able to accomplish all this are without any serious physiological or mental instabilities.[21]. Every day the subject performs stretches, isometric exercises, light sparring drills and consumes five high-protein meals. However, they did encourage the UNSC to continue research into human enhancement. [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. The identities of the Spartans' full names have been deleted from all military records. [8][13], As this takes place, muscular enhancement injections are administered throughout the subject's body to aid the previous procedure. assistance. Rather than be buried or cremated, the bodies of the deceased were cryogenically preserved with the hopes of one day reviving these candidates. 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. 3.8% failure rate due to possible mutations and compromised bone marrow matrix integrity. Military experimentation of such enhancements has always been limited for the sake of moral and ethical concerns. In 2547,[15] the SPARTAN-II program was revealed to the public in an effort to boost morale among the UNSC. Yes, in the Spartan II augmentations 33 Spartans lived, 30 died, and 12 were left crippled and disfigured. [10] Jerome-092 demonstrated this on the Banished ship Enduring Conviction making light work of the sangheili in the area with limited visibility. Physiological stress brought on by the augmentations can produce cardiac arrest,[5] in addition to cross-chemical complications that can result in augmentation failure. Although the subject is in a state of unconsciousness during the procedure, they may experience excruciating pain. Illustration of augmented skeletal muscle. 5% of test subjects experience a fatal cardiac volume increase. In particular, the decision drew the anger of Admiral Margaret Parangosky, Commander in Chief of ONI, who interrogated Halsey after her capture and demanded to know her reasoning for the use of flash clones. Any vehicle piloted by a Spartan gains an extra 15% to their defense and damage, with additional stat boosts for every upgrade the Spartan has.[89]. That is. [3] The fruition of such procedures to help create a superior soldier did not solidify until the limited success of the ORION Project, which would pave the way for the success of the SPARTAN-II Program.
