[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. Detail of the surgical scars on the forearms of a SPARTAN-II, in this case John-117. This was incredibly invasive, requiring a lot of surgeries that physically imparted the augmentations. [23] The augmentation procedures performed on the SPARTAN-IIs paved the way for Project CHRYSANTHEMUM and thusfor the "disposable" SPARTAN-IIIs. Military experimentation with such enhancements has always been limited for the sake of moral and ethical concerns. [30] Recommended coverage not to exceed 3% total bone mass because of significant white blood cell necrosis. 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. 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. [27], Their reaction time, while impossible to chart accurately, was estimated to be twenty milliseconds. [1] While many of the changes were ostensibly cosmetic and made for cultural reasons, others were designed to enhance a Forerunner's abilities. 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. Vannak-134. forthnback 12 years ago #1. This page was last edited on June 14, 2022, at 15:10. Superconducting Fibrification of Neural Dendrites. 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. A kick by John-117 flung one of the exoskeleton-clad men eight meters. As the hormone is released into the body the pellet dissolves and is absorbed. 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. [5], The first major effort to create biochemically-augmented supersoldiers was known as Project ORION. [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 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. [5] The next was memory and cognitive enhancements; these were rejected based on the mental instabilities that could occur. 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. [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. [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. Platinum pellet containing human growth hormone catalyst is implanted in the thyroid to boost growth of skeletal and muscle tissues. [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. In order to pay homage to the sacrifice of the ORION project, she chose to call the project SPARTAN-II. The SPARTAN-III augmentations were entirely chemical. The subject may experience neurological confusion such as falling over, exaggerated reflexes, and problems grabbing or holding onto an object. 300% increase in subject reflexes. The process of augmenting the SPARTAN-IIs was divided into two parts, surgical procedures and injection procedures. An illustration showing the arm before augmentation and after. [11] John-117 has been noted to briefly run at 105 km/h or 65.2mph during a Mjolnir Mark V training exercise. 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. [11], During the occipital capillary reversal, a neurosurgeon cuts out a small space in the skull, exposing the brain. Physiological stress brought on by the augmentations can produce cardiac arrest,[5] in addition to cross-chemical complications that can result in augmentation failure. That is. [20] SPARTAN-IIs are also known for their sharp eyesight being able to virtually see in the dark. Daisy-023 faces her clone in Halo Legends: Homecoming. John-117 after augmentation The augmentations after performed, on the forearms of John-117. [8][14], Once the augmentation procedures are finished, the subject begins a long recovery process. There was also the crippled candidates, some surviving past the war's end, such as Musa-096, or Serin-019. Chemical augmentations work on a molecular level by targeting molecules within the body and then altering them to begin a growth process of targeted tissues. 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. [18] Experimental rehabilitation programs were performed on more than 80% of the washouts, who had suffered varying degrees of disease, injury and deformity. The Class of 2537 has not been referenced in any official media barring the quasi-canonical, Last edited on February 8, 2023, at 23:00, Seal of the President of the United States, Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series, Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe, https://www.halopedia.org/index.php?title=SPARTAN-II_program&oldid=1569384, Class I: 75 before augmentation; 33+ after augmentation. [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. Officially, thirty Spartan candidates were killed when they failed to adapt to their physical enhancements; the only identified fatality was SPARTAN-073. [22], Only a few months after augmentation procedures, the SPARTAN-IIs were capable of running at speeds exceeding 55km/h or 34.2mph. Although the subject is in a state of unconsciousness during the procedure, they may experience excruciating pain. 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. 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. By 2531, the majority of her funds had been diverted to other projects, most notably the top-secret, eyes-only SPARTAN-III program. [86] Another girl, Janissary James, was selected as a suitable candidate for training. The SPARTAN-II conscription and augmentation procedure from the eyes of our favorite SPARTAN. 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. The Master Chief among a group of Marines. 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. 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. As an idiosyncrasy of their warrior culture, the Sangheili view the notion of doctors as dishonorable. 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. [63] This remains unchanged despite the formation of the new Spartan Operations branch in the post-war era. In the Halo Legends episode Odd One Out, SPARTAN-1337 was active and participated in combat at Cronkee. [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. In the ensuing disaster, most of the Spartan-IIs were killed, although some took shelter in ONI's CASTLE Base. 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.

However, as technology improved and scientists continued to understand the human body, advancements paved the way for the eventual use of body enhancement chemicals; 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. John-117 after going through the augmentation procedures. 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. Blue Team during Operation: FIRST STRIKE in Halo: First Strike. Specific risk for pre-and near-postpubescent adolescents: skeletal growth spurts may cause irreparable bone pulverization. [40] Fostering this accomplishment, Spartan-IIs donning Mjolnir have in many instances been shown as capable of throwing armored Jiralhanae from their vehicles. Kelly-087. 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. Produces a marked visual perception increase. [36], As of April 2559, there are fourteen active Spartan-IIs, of whom only the members of Blue and Red teams remained under NAVSPECWAR's operational command, while Gray Team and Naomi-010 continued operating under authority of the Office of Naval Intelligence. According to it "any Spartan casualties are to be listed as Missing In Action (MIA) or Wounded In Action (WIA), but never Killed In Action (KIA)." The SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures were a series of biochemical and biomechanical manipulations applied to SPARTAN-II Conscripts at the onset of puberty. [16] Later in 2553, during the boarding of the Piety, Naomi-010defeated a Jiralhanae with a single uppercut, breaking its spine in the process. Only a small percentage of subjects survived the process and fully recovered. If the subject has survived the changes, the final part of the augmentation is performed. In the same battle, Kelly-087 engaged three Sangheili in hand-to-hand combat, snapping the wrist of one Elite, taking his energy sword, and cutting two more in half with a single swing. Suppressed sexual drive. Combined with the Spartans' intelligence, seamless teamwork and unyielding drive for success, the augmentations made them nearly unstoppable against any conventional combatant. 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. ONI's own projections at that time and up to 2525[10] concluded the same as Dr. They can be built from the Armory. 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. 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. 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7Aj. Spartans can receive the following upgrades. 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. 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. The onboard computer system relays basic tactical information including IFF tags, a motion tracker, weaponry information, and health and energy shield level readouts. 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. 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. Among those who survived was Nicole-458. [61] Few outsiders are willing to as much as touch a Spartan, such as shaking one's hand. Red Flag was also basically a hail mary even the Spartans weren't sure would work. [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. [28] The motion of a Spartan in combat is nearly impossible for an outsider to follow, their movement appearing as a blur. The Spartans reluctantly agreed to work for ONI, asking for a prowler of their own. A Spartan-II candidate who died during augmentations. A scan of John-117's brain during the augmentation procedures. The result of these programs, however, has yet to be determined. The SPARTAN-II trainees about to be introduced to the program. [6] The superconducting fabrication of neural dendrites was said to feel like fire was burning along the subject's nerves on their spines. The process was particularly excruciating. 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. & # x27 ; t sure would work the next was memory and enhancements. & # x27 ; t sure would work Spartans reluctantly agreed to work ONI.
