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. 2% of subjects acquire elephantiasis. Rated: Fiction T - English - Tragedy . The project was secretly relaunched by the Colonial Military Authority well over a century later in 2491, with the recruitment of 65 adult test subjects; hundreds more were added after the first batch completed their training. [6] The superconducting fabrication of neural dendrites was said to feel like fire was burning along the subject's nerves on their spines. [8][13], As this takes place, muscular enhancement injections are administered throughout the subject's body to aid the previous procedure. [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. As insurrectionist forces become more effective and the military's responses consequently become more forceful, the need for large scale military campaigns became more and more obvious. The pilot's body is rendered immobile to prevent self-injury and agony is inflicted in exchange for superior control of the ship. The augmentations after performed, on the forearms of, Halo Wars 2 (2017, Xbox One & Windows 10), Halo 4: King of the Hill (2012, iOS & Android), Halo: Fireteam Raven (2018, Arcade cabinet), Halo Custom Edition (2004, Windows & Mac), Halo: The Master Chief Collection (2014, Xbox One), Halo Wars: Definitive Edition (2016, Xbox One & Windows 10), Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide (2013), Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe. A member of Gray Team during the Battle of the Rubble in Halo: The Cole Protocol. 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 . [26] Some Spartan-IIs are known to have taken part in the training of Spartan-IV personnel. [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. [1] While many of the changes were ostensibly cosmetic and made for cultural reasons, others were designed to enhance a Forerunner's abilities. John-117, age 14, readies himself to undergo the augmentation procedures. 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. The SPARTAN-III augmentations were entirely chemical. Spartan-I candidate James James (formerly James Lee) had a child named Janissary James who had some of the genetic augmentations her father had. Her independent conclusions predicted an even darker future than Carver's model, with UNSC inaction against the rebel leadership resulting in a minimum of thirty years of war and five billion dead; the maximum was a conflict of indeterminate length potentially leading to the downfall of human civilization. There is no difference. The procedures included: occipital capillary reversal, carbide ceramic ossification, catalytic thyroid implants, muscular enhancement injections, and superconducting fibrification of neural dendrites. Surgeon Reacts to Spartan II. 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. [67][68][69] However, with the original Spartan-II group dispersed across the battlefields of the Covenant War over the decades, certain team arrangements became more established than others. [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. 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. Spartan-IIs in the Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition). Advanced material grafting onto skeletal structures to make bones virtually unbreakable. 300% increase in subject reflexes. The result of these programs, however, has yet to be determined. Featured. One unidentified trainee - Committed suicide after escaping the program in 2525. [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. When ONI discovered Randall in 2546, he accepted their offer to have his enhancements suppressed in exchange for being allowed to remain a civilian. [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. 3.8% failure rate due to possible mutations and compromised bone marrow matrix integrity. The reaction time increase for example is closer to 1000% and that's even before Spartan time kicks in. 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. [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. So stop this non-sense about their augs being inferior when they were actually much more technologically advanced and safer. 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. Their familiarity with each other's body language allows the Spartan-IIs to function in perfect synergy in combat, their teamwork abilities having been described as borderline telepathic. Using such controversial means of creating a soldier meant that the project would have to be carried out in the highest form of secrecy. [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. However, her father, an ORION Project member now known as "James James", killed the would-be kidnapper. forthnback 12 years ago #1. A kick by John-117 flung one of the exoskeleton-clad men eight meters. He taught the Spartans how to kill, but at the same time he taught them the difference between right and wrong. [8][14], Once the augmentation procedures are finished, the subject begins a long recovery process. The Mjolnir armor was created in parallel to the SPARTAN-II project and is the most technologically advanced piece of hardware in human hands. 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. [7], Initiated by Colonel James Ackerson, the SPARTAN-III program built upon Dr. Halsey's pioneering work on the preceding SPARTAN-II project. [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. [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. They were trained to be survivors from the age of 5 (ish), to be the best of the best. They were also given training in various offworld locations, including Emerald Cove and Chiron Station. [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. The SPARTAN-II program, Class I was the first iteration of the SPARTAN programs and the first class of the Spartan-II program, an effort to produce elite soldiers through mechanical and biological augmentation. [27], Their reaction time, while impossible to chart accurately, was estimated to be twenty milliseconds. [39], In 2559, during Second Ark Conflict, a self-standing Jerome-092 defeated numerous Jiralhanae and Sangheili inside the Enduring Conviction. [43], Three discharged Spartans have had the effects of their augmentations reduced through unknown means. In order to maintain morale among the other forces of the UNSC, the Office of Naval Intelligence created Directive 930. A scan of John-117's brain during the augmentation procedures. In pre-and near-postpubescent adolescents, skeletal growth spurts may cause irreparable bone pulverization. [22], When wearing MJOLNIR armor, a Spartan's strength is boosted significantly. She stood 6' 3" (191cm) tall in her mid-forties,[44] though whether this was due to the lingering effects of the catalytic thyroid implant or her own genetics is unclear. [23] The members of Gray Team were left drifting in space after their latest operation in late 2552 and went to cryo-sleep. [18] Experimental rehabilitation programs were performed on more than 80% of the washouts, who had suffered varying degrees of disease, injury and deformity. Rojka gave up his hatred and thirst for vengeance upon Gray Team and agreed to act as an envoy to the human population of the world for Akato 'Dakaj, the new ruling Kaidon of Rak. [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. 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. 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. [40] Fostering this accomplishment, Spartan-IIs donning Mjolnir have in many instances been shown as capable of throwing armored Jiralhanae from their vehicles. An intravenous drip is inserted into the subject's arm, and a general anaesthetic is administered to ease the subject into a state of unconsciousness. This is for morale purposes, to enable the claim that no Spartan has ever been killed. [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. Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez states after the augmentations that the SPARTANs will only get better as they adjust to the augmentation. The process of augmenting the SPARTAN-IIs was divided into two parts, surgical procedures and injection procedures. [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. Daisy-023 faces her clone in Halo Legends: Homecoming. The selection criteria could be loosened, and the procedures' mortality rate could be eliminated to zero. Project Aster is the augmentation program for the Spartan-IIs. Around 2510, the Office of Naval Intelligence began to reexamine the Carver Findings, which had warned of instability in the Outer Colonies years earlier. 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 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. Military experimentation of such enhancements has always been limited for the sake of moral and ethical concerns. Yes, in the Spartan II augmentations 33 Spartans lived, 30 died, and 12 were left crippled and disfigured. The Prelates' augmentations allowed them to overcome the San'Shyuum's natural frailty caused by generations of inbreeding and granted them strength, speed and reaction times sufficient to best even Sangheili in combat. 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. Dj instructing the Spartan-II children to their seats in a classroom in Halo: Fall of Reach. 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. 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. 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. A 14 year old John-117 benching 495lbs. After being transferred to highly covert ONI Kilo-Five unit in 2553, Naomi-010 continued to serve on highly classified operations as of 2558. The second goal was to minimize civilian casualties and avert civil war. Fred-104. Surgeon Reacts to Spartan II Augmentations - YouTube from the year 2500) is possible with modern medical science. However, he ended up trapped in space on the back half of the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn and was declared missing in action. Only Dr. Halsey had secret files that contained the full names of all the Spartans on Reach; unfortunately, the records were destroyed after the planet was glassed. [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. [11] Based mainly within the Reach FLEETCOM Military Complex, the Spartans endured a great deal of hardship during their first years of training: they were placed into situations and drills that pushed their abilities to their very limit and beyond. [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. The SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures were a series of biochemical and biomechanical manipulations applied to SPARTAN-II Conscripts at the onset of puberty. One of the essential and most dangerous aspects of the SPARTAN-II program was the biological augmentation procedures. Specific risk for pre-and near-postpubescent adolescents: skeletal growth spurts may cause irreparable bone pulverization. This thread is archived Halsey also noted her consternation over what ONI may do with a secret team of officially deceased Spartans. [16], Following the Human-Covenant War any sufficiently wealthy private party could replicate the effects of the Spartan augmentations. The children were screened for certain genetic markers: strength, agility, even predispositions . Spartans can receive the following upgrades. She followed up her maneuver by using the Mongoose as an improvised hammer, smashing three Grunts into the ground, pulverizing them into "explosions of purple blood", until the ATV's "..wheels had all bounced off, the chassis warped, and finally snapped". One of the most notable candidates, six-year-old Yasmine Zaman, was abducted and replaced by a flash clone. Sangheili have drugs that are used not only for healing, but also for memory improvement and for dealing with anxiety. Alteration of bioelectrical nerve transduction to shielded electronic transduction. 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. 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. [18] However, as injuries are an inevitable byproduct of combat, the Covenant military still employs a number of medical amenities. Dr. Halsey suspected this to be due to inexplicable, synergistic effects resulting from all the augmentations acting in concert. The children of the ORIONs are sometimes referred to as Spartan 1.1s, reflecting the retroactive application of the SPARTAN-I moniker. [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. [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. 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. Covenant strikecraft pilots connect to their flight systems using direct neural interfaces, which employ very minimal safety cutouts or filters. The doctor considered that some of the deceased Spartans may some day be resuscitated and placed into active service; by June 27, 2525, rehabilitation protocols were in development for 80% of the washouts, with AIs predicting a total survival rate as high as 50%. Five percent (5%) of test subjects experience a fatal cardiac volume increase. Kelly-087, Kurt-051, and another Spartan during the Onyx Conflict in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx. Spartan II Spartan II's were kidnapped at the age of 6/7 and trained to become super soldiers. The growth hormone is released and progressively works its way through the body, stimulating the growth of skeletal and muscle tissue. During one of his missions, he lost his left arm and left mandibles. The first was adrenal-response enhancement, which would enhance the autonomic nervous system to better balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic function in the body's response to stress. 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. Recommended coverage not to exceed 3% total bone mass because of significant white blood cell necrosis. 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. At least some of the candidates who were crippled may have been physically rehabilitated in later years.[6]. Therefore many of the Spartans' attributes have increased through time and acclimation. [85], Around 2537, however, enough candidates were within the right age range to begin a second class. [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. The SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures were conducted in an ONI medical facility in orbit over Reach. [6] As such, the Spartans possess a profound understanding of their role as weapons and the weight of the life imposed on them. [7], As time went on, the side effects for successful subjects diminished either completely or to the point where it was considered mild. In. The thirty-three SPARTAN-IIs that were able to accomplish all this are without any serious physiological or mental instabilities.[21]. [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. Officially, thirty Spartan candidates were killed when they failed to adapt to their physical enhancements; the only identified fatality was SPARTAN-073. Platinum pellet containing human growth hormone catalyst is implanted in the thyroid to boost growth of skeletal and muscle tissues. [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. This procedure produces a marked increase in visual perception. 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]. 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. Surgeries were highly risky, intensive, and required special medical talent. The only known candidate who was not conscripted was Caleb Aagard, who would have been designated SPARTAN-095. Really no. Submergence and boosted blood vessel flow beneath the rods and cones of the subject's retina. The third goal was to substantially reduce the cost of conventional means of pacification. [22] The Spartans' reaction times were noted to be significantly faster in combat situations or with assistance from an AI. The rods and cones of the eye are light-sensitive receptors located in the back of the eye. Can you be a Spartan? 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. [23] The Spirit of Fire subsequently entered into an ongoing conflict with the Banished for control of the Ark. This is the GVWR, or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, of the. [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. The hormone targets and stimulates the growth of fast and slow twitch muscle fibers, effectively producing significant gains in muscle mass. 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. They can be built from a Barracks and are perhaps the most versatile units in the game. The process of augmenting the SPARTAN-IIs was divided into two parts, surgical procedures and injection procedures. The SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures were a series of biochemical and biomechanical manipulations applied to SPARTAN-II Conscripts at the onset of puberty. Rare instances of Elephantiasis. Combined with the Spartans' intelligence, seamless teamwork and unyielding drive for success, the augmentations made them nearly unstoppable against any conventional combatant. The subject could have experienced bleeding eyes, intense pain, constant headaches, and aches in the bones. Some effects like increased healing rate don't seem to be explained by the stated augs so the likelihood of aditional augmentaions is quite high, 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. [63] This remains unchanged despite the formation of the new Spartan Operations branch in the post-war era. Blue Team during Operation: FIRST STRIKE in Halo: First Strike. [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. After each meal, the subject must report to the medical bay to receive a series of vitamin and mineral injections.[15]. Serin-019 became an ONI operative. 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. 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. [30] The subject may experience bleeding from the eyes, constant headaches, and aches in the bones. 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. Spartans cost 300 resources each and requires a tech level of 1. Twelve Spartan-II candidates were officially discharged from the program after failing the augmentation procedures, most becoming severely crippled. 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. 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. [22][29] SPARTAN-IIs are also known for their sharp eyesight, their occipital capillary reversal allowing them to virtually see in the dark. [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. Detail of the surgical scars on the forearms of a SPARTAN-II, in this case John-117. 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. [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. However, they did encourage the UNSC to continue research into human enhancement. Serin was declared dead and was secretly incorporated into the Office of Naval Intelligence, who reversed the physical damage she had suffered. Retinal rejection and detachment. Superconducting Fibrification of Neural Dendrites. [38], ONI publicly unveiled the SPARTAN-II program in 2547 in order to boost morale,[40][15] though the supersoldiers' true origins remain classified to the general public as of 2558.
