The original Spartan Project was created to test genetic enhancements on volunteers from the armed forces.<ref>Jan - [[Axon Clips Chapter 5]]</ref>. These enhancements were the precursors to the enhancements used in the [[Spartan-II]] program. The mortality rate for those injected was high, a factor which contributed largely to the failure of the program. Those who survived the injection(s) had a greatly increased rate of mental problems later in life. | The original Spartan Project was created to test genetic enhancements on volunteers from the armed forces.<ref>Jan - [[Axon Clips Chapter 5]]</ref>.

However, it is mentioned that there are several offspring known as [[Spartan 1.1]]'s, some of which may have been chosen for the Spartan-II program. | ||

Two SPARTAN-Is had major roles during the Human Covenant War: Avery Johnson and Nolan Byrne, becoming the first two [[Humans]] to face the [[Covenant]] in military combat (during the raid on a Covenant Missionary Vessel), as well as during the subsequent [[Battle of Harvest]]. It is known that Avery Johnson would rise to the rank of [[Sergeant Major]], as well as possibly being the last Human to die during the Human-Covenant War , while the fate of Nolan Byrne is unknown. | Two SPARTAN-Is had major roles during the Human Covenant War: Avery Johnson and Nolan Byrne, becoming the first two [[Humans]] to face the [[Covenant]] in military combat (during the raid on a Covenant Missionary Vessel), as well as during the subsequent [[Battle of Harvest]].
