In pre-and near-postpubescent adolescents, skeletal growth spurts may cause irreparable bone pulverization. However, her father, an ORION Project member now known as "James James", killed the would-be kidnapper. 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. 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. [41] The 2547 CAA Factbook entry on the Spartans states that the supersoldiers are "recruited from all corners of UNSC governed space" and that "each of them is a highly decorated veteran with literal decades of combat experience", but omits the program's ethically problematic background. forthnback 12 years ago #1. The subject may experience bleeding from the eyes, constant headaches, and aches in the bones. Fred-104 with Olivia-G291 and Veta Lopis in Halo: Last Light. In this episode: We look into whether the Spartan-III augmentations are possible! Spartan II Spartan II's were kidnapped at the age of 6/7 and trained to become super soldiers. Because of the requirements, the best candidates who would adapt without severe side effects were those of prepubescent age. Illustration of augmented skeletal muscle. In. 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. [37], In 2553, during the boarding of the Piety, Naomi-010, while clad in Mark VII armor, defeated a Jiralhanae with a single uppercut, breaking its spine in the process. 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 . [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. Those who truly are missing are listed as such. [22] The Spartans' reaction times were noted to be significantly faster in combat situations or with assistance from an AI. The protocol is not applied to members of the SPARTAN-IV program and the Spartan Operations branch, the UNSC opting to honor their sacrifices accordingly rather than maintaining an aura of invincibility for propaganda purposes. 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. Really no. 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. Surgeries were highly risky, intensive, and required special medical talent. Yes, in the Spartan II augmentations 33 Spartans lived, 30 died, and 12 were left crippled and disfigured. A kick by John-117 flung one of the exoskeleton-clad men eight meters. 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. Research on the then-named ORION Generation II augmentations began five years after the deactivation of the ORION Project. [20], The results of the augmentations on the successful candidates were unprecedented; the SPARTAN-IIs performed well beyond the projected capabilities. Kelly-087. [9], To prepare the subject for the augmentation procedure, the subject's head is shaved and incision vectors are lasered onto the subject's body. Several species and civilizations, including Forerunners, humans, and San'Shyuum, have implemented various biochemical, surgical and cybernetic means to enhance the physical and cognitive abilities of biological individuals. Most Detailed Breakdown Of Spartan-II Augmentations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu737. Officially, thirty Spartan candidates were killed when they failed to adapt to their physical enhancements; the only identified fatality was SPARTAN-073. [6] While the ORION operatives were highly successful, the project on the whole was deemed a failure due to many factors, among the most prominent being the high "washout" rate of the augmentations as well as the limited effectiveness of the enhancements themselves. Awakened from cryo-sleep, the members of Red Team, in an attempt to establish contact with the UNSC, encountered on the surface of the Ark a hostile mercenary faction known as the Banished, led by the Jiralhanae warlord Atriox. Spartan-II Augmentations - Most Detailed Breakdown - Re-release Installation00 188K subscribers 29K views 5 months ago In this episode: We re-release the Spartan-II Augmentation Most Detailed. However, the Spartans still suffer from the negative effects of exposure to space and require medical treatment directly after to recover. 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. The artificial intelligence construct Cortana, carried within John-117's Mark V Mjolnir armor, would serve as the strike force's hacker and technology specialist. 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. An illustration showing the arm before augmentation and after. [4], From 2511 until the augmentation of the SPARTAN-IIs in 2525, research continued refining and improving the chemicals to reduce the failure rate. 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. 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. 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. . When paired with a smart AI through a specialized neural implant, a Spartan's tactical awareness and reaction time are improved even further. This specialized version of the neural interface is implanted into the skull of a Spartan-II. 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. Specific risk for pre-and near-postpubescent adolescents: skeletal growth spurts may cause irreparable bone pulverization. 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. [57] Only a select few outsiders, including Dr. Halsey and Dj, are privy to some of the best-held secrets within the group. Combined with the Spartans' intelligence, seamless teamwork and unyielding drive for success, the augmentations made them nearly unstoppable against any conventional combatant. To complement their biological augmentation, the SPARTAN-IIs were given state-of-the-art MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor which interfaces with the wearer's nervous system and greatly boosts their strength and speed. 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. 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. John-117 leading Silver Team in Halo: The Television Series. One of the differences between the two programs was the Catalytic Thyroid Implant that the S-IIs received that the S-IIIs did not. A member of Gray Team during the Battle of the Rubble in Halo: The Cole Protocol. [6] As such, the Spartans possess a profound understanding of their role as weapons and the weight of the life imposed on them. The drawback of this new armor is its requirement for augmenting the subject, effectively turning the participants into human guinea pigs. [7], As time went on, the side effects for successful subjects diminished either completely or to the point where it was considered mild. Fred-104. [34], During Operation: FIRST STRIKE, John-117 fought a Jiralhanae in close-quarters combat and successfully killed it through the use of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a grenade, despite being physically over-powered by it. 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 onboard computer system relays basic tactical information including IFF tags, a motion tracker, weaponry information, and health and energy shield level readouts. Military experimentation of such enhancements has always been limited for the sake of moral and ethical concerns. The trainees must be instilled with military value, and the understanding of war; something that cannot be taught to enlisted soldiers. [14][16] The catalytic thyroid implant and muscular enhancement injections produce extraordinary pain, as if the subject's veins had been "injected with napalm";[10][16] another sensation is pulsating and the feeling of the veins being torn out of the subject's skin. So stop this non-sense about their augs being inferior when they were actually much more technologically advanced and safer. [5] Within a year, all candidates would die of unknown causes. [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. Serin-019 became an ONI operative. The project was implemented by the Office of Naval Intelligence's Section Three under the supervision of Dr. Catherine Halsey.[2]. [5] Admiral Ysionris Jeromi conducted experimental procedures on bonobo chimpanzees at the request of his former student in an attempt to reduce the failure rates and improve the regime. The task of screening for such DNA structures was astronomical, and to properly screen for the correct genetic markers would require thirty-nine billion records. The reaction time increase for example is closer to 1000% and that's even before Spartan time kicks in. By the time the Human-Covenant War had ended, new techniques had been developed, allowing adults to be augmented without major risk. Illustration of the Catalytic Thyroid Implant. [6] The superconducting fabrication of neural dendrites was said to feel like fire was burning along the subject's nerves on their spines. [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. SPARTAN-IIs would go on to play pivotal roles in the Battle of Earth, the Battle of Installation 05, the Onyx Conflict and the Battle of Installation 00. [22], Only a few months after augmentation procedures, the SPARTAN-IIs were capable of running at speeds exceeding 55km/h or 34.2mph. Inevitably the small number of Spartan-IIs dwindled as casualties were sustained. After Reach fell, there weren't enough Spartans left. Detail of the surgical scars on the forearms of a SPARTAN-II, in this case John-117. 300% increase in subject reflexes. 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. 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. [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. They accomplish the impossible regularly, and received more extensive and complete augmentations than any Spartan class after them.

In a nearby cave system, John retrieved a Forerunner artifact that activated at his touch, something that was witnessed by a surviving Sangheili and reported to the Prophet of Mercy. [10][19] The reaction times of the SPARTAN-IIs are so fast that they are able to think, react and see things happen in slow motion. [90] They count as hero units and therefore cannot be killed, only knocked out and slowly healing until they are revived. Contents 1 Introduction 2 Augmentations 3 Effects 3.1 Results 4 Gallery 5 Appearances 6 Sources Introduction Rather than be buried or cremated, the bodies of the deceased were cryogenically preserved with the hopes of one day reviving these candidates. [84] The Office of Naval Intelligence would ultimately cancel Class II due to the lack of sufficient candidates. They can be built from the Armory. [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. Of the 150 children considered for the program, only 75 were conscripted. 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. The Pillar of Autumn soon arrived at Halo Installation 04, which John-117 ultimately destroyed to prevent the spread of the Flood. This redistribution of blood vessels boosts the flow of blood beneath the rods and cones of the subject's retina. [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. [30] [61] Few outsiders are willing to as much as touch a Spartan, such as shaking one's hand. Recommended coverage not to exceed 3% total bone mass because of significant white blood cell necrosis. This phenomenon is nicknamed "SPARTAN Time" by Kelly-087. At age 14 (approx) they were massively augmented, becoming incredibly fast and strong, unlike anything else before them. 5% of test subjects experience a fatal cardiac volume increase. It is unknown as to what muscle groups were focused in this particular outlook. Fred-104, Linda-058, John-117, and Joshua-029 wearing various iterations of the Mark IV armor. The procedures included: occipital capillary reversal, carbide ceramic ossification, catalytic thyroid implants, muscular enhancement injections, and superconducting fibrification of neural dendrites. 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. In Halo Wars 2, the Spartan-IIs of Red Team are Hero Units units for the UNSC faction. 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. [11] The SPARTAN-IVs' augmentations also include several new procedures, including various improvements to the subject's internal organs. Examples of this include Kurt-051's ribs being broken by a Hunter's shield strike,[25] Otto-031 breaking his ankle upon falling from a great height,[26] and Douglas-042's left shoulder being broken by Atriox. [25], In October 2559, Blue Team was sent back to Reach on Operation: WOLFE to retrieve assets from the ruins of CASTLE Base which held the key to defeating Cortana. Six more Spartans are available during the mission Arcadia Outskirts, identified as Team Omega.[91]. [22] They would commandeer a Covenant vessel, locate the Covenant homeworld, and return with captured Covenant leadership to force a ceasefire. [5] The next was memory and cognitive enhancements; these were rejected based on the mental instabilities that could occur. John-117 after going through the augmentation procedures. Dr. Halsey suspected this to be due to inexplicable, synergistic effects resulting from all the augmentations acting in concert. Following the Battle of Installation 04, the survivors returned to Reach and were able to rendezvous with the remaining Spartans. Though being missing in action since 2532 and discharged from service by ONI in 2546, Randall-037, now a Colonel of the Sedran Colonial Guard, participated in a mission to capture the smugglers of a highly dangerous element used as a weapon in a terrorist attack, and sacrificed himself to ensure the operation's success. Halsey presented her results to Vice Admiral Michael Stanforth of ONI Section III, finding that they had come to the same conclusions. [68] On some missions, Red Team has formed smaller splinter units (designated with Greek alphabet) to better suit the mission objectives at the time. 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 . The III's were war orphans who volunteered. The SPARTAN-II program was based in a dedicated compound within the Reach FLEETCOM Military Complex. [45] The information is not public knowledge as of 2558,[41][46] although some of the Spartan-IVs were made aware of their predecessors' origins. Two escaped aboard the UNSC Pillar of Autumn, one of whom was place in cryostasis aboard the ship after sustaining life-threatening injuries during the battle on Gamma Station. He taught the Spartans how to kill, but at the same time he taught them the difference between right and wrong. 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 result of these programs, however, has yet to be determined. [83] Halsey eventually gave up on Class II and left the program, after she judged the candidates to be of an inferior standard. Once completed, the natural bonding of the skeleton to the ceramic layer continues while other stabilising and therapeutic procedures are performed. ONI's own projections at that time and up to 2525[10] concluded the same as Dr. [8][9], Only a few months after augmentation procedures, the SPARTAN-IIs were noted of being capable of running at speeds exceeding 55 km/h or 34.2mph. Spartans can receive the following upgrades. 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)." 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]. In the ensuing disaster, most of the Spartan-IIs were killed, although some took shelter in ONI's CASTLE Base. [20], During his service within the Covenant, Jega 'Rdomnai was a member of the Silent Shadow, a unit within the Covenant's Special Operations branch. [27], Their reaction time, while impossible to chart accurately, was estimated to be twenty milliseconds. The Spartans reluctantly agreed to work for ONI, asking for a prowler of their own. Despite the impressive feats the surviving SPARTANs performed, many of the fourteen year old candidates died or "washed out" as a result of the augmentations. During one of his missions, he lost his left arm and left mandibles. John-117 undergoing the augmentation procedures in Halo: Fall of Reach. Could We Create MASTER CHIEF Today? The SPARTAN-II trainees about to be introduced to the program. 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. [11], During the occipital capillary reversal, a neurosurgeon cuts out a small space in the skull, exposing the brain. that the true name of the "Engineer" species is. [30] During the Battle of Trove, the three members of Red Team (Jerome-092, Alice-130, and Douglas-042) defeated a force of over twenty Stealth Sangheili in close-quarters combat without sustaining any injuries themselves. 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].

Daisy-023 faces her clone in Halo Legends: Homecoming. By 2531, the majority of her funds had been diverted to other projects, most notably the top-secret, eyes-only SPARTAN-III program. 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. [22][29] SPARTAN-IIs are also known for their sharp eyesight, their occipital capillary reversal allowing them to virtually see in the dark. 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. [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. In order to maintain morale among the other forces of the UNSC, the Office of Naval Intelligence created Directive 930. [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. The ORION augmentations included enhancements to muscle density, lung capacity, vision, hearing and balance. In the campaign, Spartan Red Team is recruited on Arcadia and available for all missions after Arcadia City. [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. 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. Physiological stress brought on by the augmentations can produce cardiac arrest,[5] in addition to cross-chemical complications that can result in augmentation failure. The injuries also gave 'Rdomnai a lust for battle and vengeance, both of which completely outweighed his own pride in his own Sangheili culture. Five percent (5%) of test subjects experience a fatal cardiac volume increase. Their gains have attracted widespread attention in the hopes of improving human strength and endurance. This is the GVWR, or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, of the. Alteration of bioeletrical nerve transduction to shielded electronic transduction. Rated: Fiction T - English - Tragedy . Linda-058. after augmentations. While easily overshadowed by the Spartans' extensive augmentation, medical, biochemical and technological conveniences do nonetheless have a pervasive presence in various areas of human society. The Master Chief among a group of Marines. [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. 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. They must also have possessed superior physical and mental attributes. [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. This is evident by the significantly smaller size of S-IIIs . Sangheili have drugs that are used not only for healing, but also for memory improvement and for dealing with anxiety. 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. [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. [23] The members of Gray Team were left drifting in space after their latest operation in late 2552 and went to cryo-sleep. [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.
