[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. Although the subject is in a state of unconsciousness during the procedure, they may experience excruciating pain. Sangheili have drugs that are used not only for healing, but also for memory improvement and for dealing with anxiety. They were, according to every single source from the canon. [10][19] The reaction times of the SPARTAN-IIs are so fast that they are able to think, react and see things happen in slow motion. Military experimentation of such enhancements has always been limited for the sake of moral and ethical concerns. The healing process takes anywhere from weeks to months, depending upon each individual subject's rate of recovery. UNSC personnel are equipped with neural implants, more sophisticated models of whichtypically issued to ship captainsenable a human mind to interface with computer systems and receive or send information. Halsey also noted her consternation over what ONI may do with a secret team of officially deceased Spartans. The survivors then carried out a raid that resulted in the destruction of a Covenant fleet anchorage, stalling a Covenant plan to invade Earth. The project was implemented by the Office of Naval Intelligence's Section Three under the supervision of Dr. Catherine Halsey.[2]. This page was last edited on February 8, 2023, at 23:00. Answer (1 of 2): Spartan II's are the strongest by a large margin. [32], On September 1, 2558, Gray Team were awakened from cryo and found themselves in the middle of a battle between two Sangheili factions, a Jiralhanae faction and the citizens of Suraka on the planet Carrow. 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)." There are sixteen Spartan 1.1s, including Janissary James and Kevin Morales. Naomi-010 wearing her Mark VII armor in Halo Mythos. The process of augmenting the SPARTAN-IIs was divided into two parts, surgical procedures and injection procedures. 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. Twelve Spartan-II candidates were officially discharged from the program after failing the augmentation procedures, most becoming severely crippled. 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. 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. In order to pay homage to the sacrifice of the ORION project, she chose to call the project SPARTAN-II. 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. [88], In Halo Wars, Spartan-IIs are infantry units for the UNSC faction. Despite the impressive feats the surviving SPARTANs performed, many of the fourteen year old candidates died or "washed out" as a result of the augmentations. [85], Around 2537, however, enough candidates were within the right age range to begin a second class. Although the chemicals work on a molecular level, they do not work on a genetic level, as targeted mutagenesis is impossible using chemicals alone. Can you be a Spartan? The Spartans also took part in an assassination mission at an Insurrectionist conference where John-117 killed Kwan Ha's mother and several other high-ranking Insurrectionists. 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. [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. Due to their parents' augmentations, the Spartan 1.1s had to receive injections in order to ensure normal growth without defects. Once completed, the natural bonding of the skeleton to the ceramic layer continues while other stabilising and therapeutic procedures are performed. This compounded an increasing distrust against ONI and the Spartans generated by a recent attack on a peace conference apparently perpetrated by the Master Chief. After each meal, the subject must report to the medical bay to receive a series of vitamin and mineral injections.[15]. Despite providing subtle enhancement in the areas of strength and speed, these augmentations were rather primitive in comparison to the supersoldiers created centuries later. A Spartan-II candidate who died during augmentations. [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. [14] The Spartans continuously proved highly effective against all threats; their heroic rearguard and delaying actions saved countless human lives from the genocidal Covenant onslaught. Each procedure is marked by a particular type of excruciating pain. [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. Surgeries were highly risky, intensive, and required special medical talent. 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 status of candidates 116, 118, 119, 121, 123, and 124 after, The SPARTAN-II program's methodology mirrors the, The SPARTAN-II seal closely resembles the modern, The SPARTAN-II program is reminiscent of the Adam Project depicted in the 1998 film, Despite Spartans being listed as Missing in Action when they are killed, several have actually gone MIA. The Sangheili enter battle-meditation before completing the machine link protocols to control the pain, while Jiralhanae pilots embrace the interface burn to trigger their own focus. Any vehicle piloted by a Spartan gains an extra 15% to their defense and damage, with additional stat boosts for every upgrade the Spartan has.[89]. The process of augmenting the SPARTAN-IIs was divided into two parts, surgical procedures and injection procedures. [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. The drawback of this new armor is its requirement for augmenting the subject, effectively turning the participants into human guinea pigs. [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. [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. Combined with the Spartans' intelligence, seamless teamwork and unyielding drive for success, the augmentations made them nearly unstoppable against any conventional combatant. Human biochemical experiments and enhancement procedures have been a part of society dating back to the 20th Century; their gains have attracted widespread attention in the hopes of improving human strength and endurance. [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. 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. Dj instructing the Spartan-II children to their seats in a classroom in Halo: Fall of Reach. [46] He was allowed to return to civilian life and joined the Marine Corps by the age of twenty. There was also the crippled candidates, some surviving past the war's end, such as Musa-096, or Serin-019. [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. 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, 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. One of the differences between the two programs was the Catalytic Thyroid Implant that the S-IIs received that the S-IIIs did not. The third goal was to substantially reduce the cost of conventional means of pacification. [84] The Office of Naval Intelligence would ultimately cancel Class II due to the lack of sufficient candidates. The project was initially granted funding for 300 candidates, though funding was later reduced to half this number. The majority of these former candidates were later reassigned to the Office of Naval Intelligence. 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. [17] It is common to find all of these varieties of medications in temples built for kaidons, which traditionally have been visited by them prior to planning a military campaign. [5] Admiral Ysionris Jeromi conducted experimental procedures on bonobo chimpanzees at the request of his former student in an attempt to reduce the failure rates and improve the regime. 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. Alteration of bioelectrical nerve transduction to shielded electronic transduction. The thirty-three SPARTAN-IIs that were able to accomplish all this are without any serious physiological or mental instabilities.[21].
