'''2517''' was a year in the 2510s in the 26th century. It was a very important year for the [[United Nations Space Command]], as this marked the initiation of the candidate procurement and [[SPARTAN-II training|training]] of the [[SPARTAN-II program]], which would eventually give birth to some of [[human]]ity's greatest heroes.


[[Lieutenant (Jr Grade)]] [[Jacob Keyes]] is awakened by [[AI]] [[Toran]] from cryogenic sleep along with [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] onboard the [[Han]] in the [[Eridanus star system]]. Dr. Halsey and Lieutenant Keyes descend to the surface of [[Eridanus II]] to meet 6-year-old [[John]] on a playground in [[Elysium City]]. He is given a simple test to determine whether he will be one of the 75 out of 150 possible candidates to become a [[Spartan]], and passes with flying colors.

Each of the 75, 6-year old trainees are awakened forcefully for their first day of training. Calisthenics and a brief lesson about the Spartans at Thermopylae in ancient times make up the morning activities.
