Thirteen dead Spartans

Thirteen dead Spartans can be found around the level Lone Wolf.

Overview
The bodies are those of Spartan-IIIs and are scattered around the landscape. Their armor is randomized, with different configurations and genders every time the level is loaded. The fact that there are thirteen of them is a seven reference, as at the end of his/her last stand Noble Six dies and becomes the fourteenth dead Spartan in the area.

The Spartan's mission and canon status is unknown. It can be theorized that they were deployed to fend off the Covenant attack on the Aszod territory near the ship breaking facilities. The team may have included all or part of either Echo or Gauntlet teams, or both, as both teams were present on Reach during the invasion. Nothing else links them with said teams however, and their randomized armor may mean that they are only present as a symbolic image of all the Spartans who died at the Fall of Reach.
