The standard neural interface provides the neural link between the Spartan-II and the Mjolnir armor. 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. [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. 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. This bonding is likely achieved through some biochemical means to encourage natural bone integration and a tendency of the body to reattach the bone and ceramic if somehow separated. John-117 leading Silver Team in Halo: The Television Series. 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. [6], After the graduation of the first class of Spartan-IIs in 2525, Dr. Halsey began planning for the next wave of Spartans; her efforts, however, ran into problems. [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 drawback of this new armor is its requirement for augmenting the subject, effectively turning the participants into human guinea pigs. 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. [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. 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. The following is the list of all known Spartan-II subjects conscripted in 2517. Of these, Serin-019 and Ralph-103 were maimed by the procedures. 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. 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. Kelly-087. [18] However, as injuries are an inevitable byproduct of combat, the Covenant military still employs a number of medical amenities. [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. [11] The only other copy of these records is in the possession of Admiral Margaret Parangosky. Among those who survived was Nicole-458. Permanent blindness. [46] He was allowed to return to civilian life and joined the Marine Corps by the age of twenty. 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 . [1] 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. 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. The SPARTAN-II candidates being taught by Dj in Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series. [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. [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. Most Detailed Breakdown Of Spartan-II Augmentations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu737. Naomi-010 wearing her Mark VII armor in Halo Mythos. Superconducting Fibrification of Neural Dendrites. Because of the requirements, the best candidates who would adapt without severe side effects were those of prepubescent age. This was incredibly invasive, requiring a lot of surgeries that physically imparted the augmentations. [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. Spartan II's are better, in pretty much every respect. 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. Suppressed sexual drive. Catherine Halsey overlooks her Spartans as they undergo their augmentations. Specific risk for pre-and near-postpubescent adolescents: skeletal growth spurts may cause irreparable bone pulverization. Blue Team during the Battle of Circinius IV in Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn. Thus, despite being highly unethical and illegal, it was decided that the program's trainees be drafted as children and augmented as they began to reach puberty. One observed physical effect; the result of being fed growth hormone supplements, many SPARTANs were exceptionally tall and heavy. The third goal was to substantially reduce the cost of conventional means of pacification. There are sixteen Spartan 1.1s, including Janissary James and Kevin Morales. Later research proved difficult for other mental, adrenal and neural enhancement procedures to be used on the SPARTAN-IIs because of their unacceptable failure rates. It's possible that Linda took the shots on those Banshees with their cockpits opened up, since page 321 of Halo First Strike states that, "The Chief craned his head back and saw the pilot of the lead Banshee slump, slide off the flier, and plummet to the ground. Covenant strikecraft pilots connect to their flight systems using direct neural interfaces, which employ very minimal safety cutouts or filters. [8][13], As this takes place, muscular enhancement injections are administered throughout the subject's body to aid the previous procedure. 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". The SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures were conducted in an ONI medical facility in orbit over Reach. However, Dr. Halsey hoped that some might be rehabilitated and enter service as fully functional Spartans.[6]. [notes 1] At some point in 2558, journalist Benjamin Giraud uncovered the origins of the program and uploaded his findings to the public network, along with delivering an unsanctioned testimony on the matter to the Unified Earth Government Senate's Armed Forces Committee. 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. [34] However, their attempts proved to be unsuccessful. 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. She followed up her maneuver by using the mongoose as an improvised hammer, smashing three Grunts into the ground, pulverizing them in the process.[18]. The Pillar of Autumn soon arrived at Halo Installation 04, which John-117 ultimately destroyed to prevent the spread of the Flood. By default Jerome-092 wields a Spartan Laser, Douglas-042 uses a rocket launcher, and Alice-130 uses a chain gun. Though there were only a few dozen Spartan-II soldiers left after the augmentations, they still proved instrumental in humanity's eventual victory against the Covenant. Military experimentation with such enhancements has always been limited for the sake of moral and ethical concerns. Surgeries were highly risky, intensive, and required special medical talent. [11] The SPARTAN-IVs' augmentations also include several new procedures, including various improvements to the subject's internal organs. The children of the ORIONs are sometimes referred to as Spartan 1.1s, reflecting the retroactive application of the SPARTAN-I moniker. Dr. Halsey's proposal for the project detailed radical changes from the original ORION in many different fields. Produces a marked visual perception increase. At some point, the Spartans' memories of their past from before entering the program were sealed away by Dr. Catherine Halsey. Despite providing subtle enhancement in the areas of strength and speed, these augmentations were rather primitive in comparison to the supersoldiers created centuries later. The Mjolnir armor was created in parallel to the SPARTAN-II project and is the most technologically advanced piece of hardware in human hands. [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. In order to pay homage to the sacrifice of the ORION project, she chose to call the project SPARTAN-II. Could We Create MASTER CHIEF Today? [6], In the initial studies and research conducted on possible procedures, two of the proposed augmentations were rejected because of their risks and drawbacks. Detail of the surgical scars on the forearms of a SPARTAN-II, in this case John-117. Research on the then-named ORION Generation II augmentations began five years after the deactivation of the ORION Project. [11] John-117 has been noted to briefly run at 105 km/h or 65.2mph during a Mjolnir Mark V training exercise. They were trained to be survivors from the age of 5 (ish), to be the best of the best. [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. They were also given training in various offworld locations, including Emerald Cove and Chiron Station. Answer: Well, if I could only could choose the augmentations of one previous Spartan Program, I would choose the Spartan IIIs. 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. [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. 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. 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. Only 33 survived the procedures without physiological deformities, of whom two would commit suicide in the following weeks upon encountering their flash clones. [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. Sangheili have drugs that are used not only for healing, but also for memory improvement and for dealing with anxiety. The process of augmenting the SPARTAN-IIs was divided into two parts, surgical procedures and injection procedures. Later during the Human-Covenant war, while in her Mark V MJOLNIR armor, Kelly-087's top speed was 62km/h or 38.5mph. The surgeon performs a procedure on the capillaries, the smallest of the body's blood vessels, to reverse the direction of blood flow in each capillary to boost the blood flow beneath the rods and cones of the subject's retina. 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 Spartan IIIs augmentations were the same, but safer, essentially a quantum leap in the technology. They can be built from a Barracks and are perhaps the most versatile units in the game. After their return to the UNSC, Gray Team were offered a choice to join a specialized interspecies strike team under the Office of Naval Intelligence, to continue operating deep in the Joint Occupation Zone as before. [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. The process was particularly excruciating. The identities of the Spartans' full names have been deleted from all military records. The SPARTAN-II program was the first major success of the SPARTAN programs, an effort to produce elite soldiers through mechanical and biological augmentation. Therefore many of the Spartans' attributes have increased through time and acclimation. Featured. [4][5] The catalytic thyroid implant and muscular enhancement injections produce extraordinary pain as if the subject's veins had been injected with napalm,[5][6] as well as pulsating, and the feeling of them being torn out of the subjects skin. An illustration showing the arm before augmentation and after. However, she died during the augmentation procedures. [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. These augmentations were undergone by the children in the Spartan II Program and left some lasting scars. The hormone targets and stimulates the growth of fast and slow twitch muscle fibers, effectively producing significant gains in muscle mass. Surgeon Reacts to Spartan II Augmentations - YouTube from the year 2500) is possible with modern medical science. Mendez trained the Spartans until 2525 when, at the age of fourteen, they would go through the toughest part of their training: the biological augmentation procedures, which would kill 30 of the 75 conscripted children and cripple twelve others who would "wash out" of the SPARTAN-II program, going on to join the Office of Naval Intelligence. 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. Submergence and boosted blood vessel flow beneath the rods and cones of the subject's retina. [24][Note 2], The SPARTAN-IIs were capable of lifting at least three times their body weight without the aid of their MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor[Note 3] when they were 14 years old. 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. 300% increase in subject reflexes. [12][13], The San'Shyuum in the Covenant used genetic enhancement techniques to augment a number of San'Shyuum into elite supersoldiers known as Prelates. The trainees must be instilled with military value, and the understanding of war; something that cannot be taught to enlisted soldiers. Serin-019 became an ONI operative. [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. Linda-058. Spartan-II candidates were all abducted from their families around the age of six in 2517. . [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. [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. 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. 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. Spartan-II augs resulted in unexpected synergies as Halsey explicitly notes in TFoR. The Spartan-II Augmentation Washouts 100,124 views Jul 25, 2017 2.6K Dislike Halo Canon 232K subscribers Note: the original version of this claimed Omega Team were confirmed as washouts. 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 SPARTAN-II conscription and augmentation procedure from the eyes of our favorite SPARTAN. Together, they are able to detect movement, light and color, and relay that information back to the brain. [10] Jerome-092 demonstrated this on the Banished ship Enduring Conviction making light work of the sangheili in the area with limited visibility. While civilian applications for such technologies do exist, their obvious military advantages quickly saw them harnessed for the purposes of warfare. The subject may experience neurological confusion such as falling over, exaggerated reflexes, and problems grabbing or holding onto an object. [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. 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. Despite the Spartans aiding the Insurrectionists against the Sangheili, all but Kwan Ha were killed. [22] Experimental rehabilitation programs were performed on more than 80% of the washouts. [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. 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. [29] The status of Omega Team remains unknown. 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. In the ensuing disaster, most of the Spartan-IIs were killed, although some took shelter in ONI's CASTLE Base. Advanced mechanical prosthetics have also been developed, although such technology is used solely for the purpose of replacing lost limbs rather than supplanting existing ones for any possible advantages they may have over biological limbs. Human biochemical experiments and enhancement procedures have been a part of society dating back to the 20th century. 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. Although the chemicals work on a molecular level, they do not work on a genetic level, as targeted mutagenesis is impossible using chemicals alone. Halsey also noted her consternation over what ONI may do with a secret team of officially deceased Spartans. [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. 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)." assistance. However, he ended up trapped in space on the back half of the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn and was declared missing in action. The trailing Banshee was riderless as well only a blood-spattered cockpit and cowling."

Answer (1 of 5): Actually, we know of a couple of Spartans from both the Spartan-I and Spartan-II programs who had kids. 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. after augmentations. 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. At least some of the candidates who were crippled may have been physically rehabilitated in later years.[6]. [8], Research on the SPARTAN-II program's augmentations began five years after the deactivation of the ORION Project. [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. Superconducting Fibrification of Neural Dendrites. That is. Significant instances of Parkinson's Disease and Fletcher's Syndrome. They can be built from the Armory. Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez states after the augmentations that the SPARTANs will only get better as they adjust to the augmentation. [20], The results of the augmentations on the successful candidates were unprecedented; the SPARTAN-IIs performed well beyond the projected capabilities. [22] These reflexes allowed Spartans to successfully dodge gunfire on certain occasions. The Spartan-IIs attend the funeral for those killed in the augmentations. The ability to . 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, Each Spartan is assigned to a different leader: Alice to Isabel, Douglas to Professor Anders, and Jerome to Captain Cutter. Blue Team being briefed on the mission to rescue Dr. Halsey in Halo Legends: The Package.
