[23] The members of Gray Team were left drifting in space after their latest operation in late 2552 and went to cryo-sleep. Later models of the Mjolnir system are capable of carrying a starship-grade AI which can provide tactical data in the field. However, the Spartans still suffer from the negative effects of exposure to space and require medical treatment directly after to recover. [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. The identities of the Spartans' full names have been deleted from all military records. Illustration of augmented skeletal muscle. Significant instances of Parkinson's Disease and Fletcher's Syndrome. An illustration showing the arm before augmentation and after. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7Aj. John-117 after augmentation The augmentations after performed, on the forearms of John-117. Six more Spartans are available during the mission Arcadia Outskirts, identified as Team Omega.[91]. Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez stated that after the augmentations the Spartans would only get better as they adjusted to the changes. 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. 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 . 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. Rated: Fiction T - English - Tragedy . In the years following the deactivation of the original ORION Project in 2506[8] the effectiveness of small special forces combating the Insurrectionists became too difficult for the UNSC to manage. The injuries also gave 'Rdomnai a lust for battle and vengeance, both of which completely outweighed his own pride in his own Sangheili culture. 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]. In pre-and near-postpubescent adolescents, skeletal growth spurts may cause irreparable bone pulverization. Although the subject is in a state of unconsciousness during the procedure, they may experience excruciating pain. 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. The pilot's body is rendered immobile to prevent self-injury and agony is inflicted in exchange for superior control of the ship. 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. [16] Later in 2553, during the boarding of the Piety, Naomi-010defeated a Jiralhanae with a single uppercut, breaking its spine in the process. Inevitably the small number of Spartan-IIs dwindled as casualties were sustained. There is no difference. The SPARTAN-III augmentations were entirely chemical. The Pillar of Autumn soon arrived at Halo Installation 04, which John-117 ultimately destroyed to prevent the spread of the Flood. [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. Spartan-III and Spartan-II's Augmentations were equally effective. 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. [22], When wearing MJOLNIR armor, a Spartan's strength is boosted significantly. 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] The superconducting fabrication of neural dendrites was said to feel like fire was burning along the subject's nerves on their spines. Anecdotal evidence of marked increase in intelligence, memory, and creativity. 2% of subjects acquire elephantiasis. The Spartans reluctantly agreed to work for ONI, asking for a prowler of their own. [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. 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. They received the harshest and best augmentations, and the best quality of training. 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. 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. However, page 365 of the Definitive Edition of Halo: the Fall of Reach seems to imply that the Elite was a Minor or a Ranger by likening the color of its armor to the hull plating of Covenant ships. Contents 1 History 1.1 Background 1.2 Creation 1.3 Training 1.4 Human-Covenant War 1.5 Post-war survivors [1] While many of the changes were ostensibly cosmetic and made for cultural reasons, others were designed to enhance a Forerunner's abilities. Spartan-II augs resulted in unexpected synergies as Halsey explicitly notes in TFoR. The SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures were a series of biochemical and biomechanical manipulations applied to SPARTAN-II Conscripts at the onset of puberty. During one of his missions, he lost his left arm and left mandibles. The SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures were conducted in an ONI medical facility in orbit over Reach. 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%. The Spartan III project had multiple generations. [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. Those who truly are missing are listed as such. 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. Their hard training was complemented with high-level education, which included mathematics, science, history, reading, writing, and military tactics. Rather than be buried or cremated their bodies were cryogenically preserved with the hopes of one day reviving these candidates. [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. [5] The next was memory and cognitive enhancements; these were rejected based on the mental instabilities that could occur. [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. The SPARTAN-IV augmentation procedures, at least for the first and second classes of the program, take three weeks to perform, with the Spartans in and out of surgeries and advanced therapies during this time. 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. [50], The Spartan-IIs' training emphasized dedication to one's duty as well as winning at any cost, values most of the active Spartan-IIs remain committed to. 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. Around 2510, the Office of Naval Intelligence began to reexamine the Carver Findings, which had warned of instability in the Outer Colonies years earlier. Spartan-IIs in the Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition). Protein complex is injected intramuscularly to increase tissue density and decrease lactase recovery time. 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. [8][13], The carbide ceramic ossification is performed last due to the aforementioned complications with post-grafting bone growth. By the time the Human-Covenant War had ended, new techniques had been developed, allowing adults to be augmented without major risk. [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. In the fighting game Dead or Alive 4, Nicole-458 is teleported back to the 21st-century aboard Nassau Station. Most of the Spartans' training was carried out in the various facilities within the complex as well as the surrounding wilderness of Reach's Highland Mountains, with classroom sessions provided by Dj in the Reach Naval Academy. However, as technology improved and as scientists continued to understand the human body, advancements paved the way for the eventual use of body enhancement chemicals. The trainees must be instilled with military value, and the understanding of war; something that cannot be taught to enlisted soldiers. Daisy-023 faces her clone in Halo Legends: Homecoming. [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. [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. The process was particularly excruciating. [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 SPARTAN-II trainees about to be introduced to the program. Between 2511 and 2517, 150 five to six-year-old children were selected from near perfect psychological and genetic markers that were set in Dr. Catherine Halsey 's selection protocols. 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 SPARTAN-II candidates being taught by Dj in Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series. [23] The augmentation procedures performed on the SPARTAN-IIs paved the way for Project CHRYSANTHEMUM and thusfor the "disposable" SPARTAN-IIIs. The process of augmenting the SPARTAN-IIs was divided into two parts, surgical procedures and injection procedures. The selection criteria could be loosened, and the procedures' mortality rate could be eliminated to zero. One of the most notable candidates, six-year-old Yasmine Zaman, was abducted and replaced by a flash clone. [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. Blue Team during Operation: FIRST STRIKE in Halo: First Strike. [3] A scan of John-117's brain during the augmentation procedures. [7], Initiated by Colonel James Ackerson, the SPARTAN-III program built upon Dr. Halsey's pioneering work on the preceding SPARTAN-II project. Despite providing subtle enhancement in the areas of strength and speed, these augmentations were rather primitive in comparison to the supersoldiers created centuries later. [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. Spartans cost 300 resources each and requires a tech level of 1. Suppressed sexual drive. Sangheili have drugs that are used not only for healing, but also for memory improvement and for dealing with anxiety. 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. [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 children were screened for certain genetic markers: strength, agility, even predispositions . Produces a marked visual perception increase. 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 Mjolnir armor was created in parallel to the SPARTAN-II project and is the most technologically advanced piece of hardware in human hands. [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. [6] As such, the Spartans possess a profound understanding of their role as weapons and the weight of the life imposed on them. Spartan II's are better, in pretty much every respect. The ability to . The children of the ORIONs are sometimes referred to as Spartan 1.1s, reflecting the retroactive application of the SPARTAN-I moniker. 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. [11] John-117 has been noted to briefly run at 105 km/h or 65.2mph during a Mjolnir Mark V training exercise. [85], Around 2537, however, enough candidates were within the right age range to begin a second class. Most Detailed Breakdown Of Spartan-II Augmentations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu737. Recommended coverage not to exceed 3% total bone mass because of significant white blood cell necrosis. [22] The Spartans' reaction times were noted to be significantly faster in combat situations or with assistance from an AI. [7], As time went on, the side effects for successful subjects diminished either completely or to the point where it was considered mild. These augmentations were undergone by the children in the Spartan II Program and left some lasting scars. As an idiosyncrasy of their warrior culture, the Sangheili view the notion of doctors as dishonorable. Blue Team during the Battle of Circinius IV in Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn. [6], In the initial studies and research conducted on possible procedures, two of the proposed augmentations were rejected because of their risks and drawbacks. Are Spartan-II Augmentations Possible? [29] The status of Omega Team remains unknown. Seeing as MJOLNIR has never been directly shown to automatically increase the sprint speed of a Spartan without the assistance of an. At some point, the Spartans' memories of their past from before entering the program were sealed away by Dr. Catherine Halsey. 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. Because of the requirements, the best candidates who would adapt without severe side effects were those of prepubescent age. 300% increase in subject reflexes. [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. Together, they are able to detect movement, light and color, and relay that information back to the brain. ONI's own projections at that time and up to 2525[10] concluded the same as Dr. One of the essential and most dangerous aspects of the SPARTAN-II program was the biological augmentation procedures. 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. 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. 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 subject may have experienced neurological confusion that included falling over, exaggerated reflexes, and difficulty grabbing and holding objects. Red Flag was also basically a hail mary even the Spartans weren't sure would work. [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. Discord - https://discord.gg/u3TPThRPTc Old Man's Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/OldManWarhammerInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/oldmanlives/Twitter . 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. Physiological stress brought on by the augmentations can produce cardiac arrest,[5] in addition to cross-chemical complications that can result in augmentation failure. 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. . [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. Spartan-I candidate James James (formerly James Lee) had a child named Janissary James who had some of the genetic augmentations her father had. Many of the enhancements were to the neurological and cognitive abilities of the individual,[2] although at least the Warrior-Servants' mutations also made them physically stronger and more robust. John-117, age 14, readies himself to undergo the augmentation procedures. [5], The first major effort to create biochemically-augmented supersoldiers was known as Project ORION. 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. A member of Gray Team during the Battle of the Rubble in Halo: The Cole Protocol. SPARTAN-IIs also underwent extensive gene therapy. [27], Their reaction time, while impossible to chart accurately, was estimated to be twenty milliseconds. [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. [61] Few outsiders are willing to as much as touch a Spartan, such as shaking one's hand. [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. [57] Only a select few outsiders, including Dr. Halsey and Dj, are privy to some of the best-held secrets within the group. [22] Experimental rehabilitation programs were performed on more than 80% of the washouts. The survivors then carried out a raid that resulted in the destruction of a Covenant fleet anchorage, stalling a Covenant plan to invade Earth. 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 process of augmenting the SPARTAN-IIs was divided into two parts, surgical procedures and injection procedures. Spartan-II is an acquired template gained during the Spartan Program. During this time, John-117 rose to be the de facto leader of the Spartans. In the ensuing disaster, most of the Spartan-IIs were killed, although some took shelter in ONI's CASTLE Base. Blue Team being briefed on the mission to rescue Dr. Halsey in Halo Legends: The Package. [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. 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. Due to their parents' augmentations, the Spartan 1.1s had to receive injections in order to ensure normal growth without defects. 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. He taught the Spartans how to kill, but at the same time he taught them the difference between right and wrong. It's unclear whether or not John ran at this speed under the use of his own power or through the use of MJOLNIR armor. In exchange, they would receive a pardon from Thel 'Vadam for their actions. 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. 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. As the hormone is released into the body the pellet dissolves and is absorbed. [8][14], Once the augmentation procedures are finished, the subject begins a long recovery process. 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. Surgery is performed on the occipital lobe of the left cerebral hemisphere of the brain; the occipital lobe is the visual processing center of the brain, containing most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex. 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. Each procedure is marked by a particular type of excruciating pain. [3][4], Since the dawn of widespread spaceflight, humans have sought to use biochemical, surgical and cybernetic means to augment their bodies. [11], During the occipital capillary reversal, a neurosurgeon cuts out a small space in the skull, exposing the brain. This thread is archived After Reach fell, there weren't enough Spartans left. A Spartan-II candidate who died during augmentations. 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. [8][13], As this takes place, muscular enhancement injections are administered throughout the subject's body to aid the previous procedure. 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. [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. Spartan II Spartan II's were kidnapped at the age of 6/7 and trained to become super soldiers. Retinal rejection and detachment. [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. [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.
