After the graduation of the first class of SPARTAN-IIs in 2525, Dr. Halsey began planning for the next wave of Spartans; her efforts, however, ran into problems. There were too few candidates that were in sync with her age restriction protocol and a majority of her funding was going towards MJOLNIR maintenance and construction; leaving little room for continued training efforts. By 2531, the majority of her funds had been diverted and she was forced to postpone the effort indefinitely.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''' ''page 45''</ref>

Around six years later, however, enough candidates were within the right age to begin a second class. Among others, six year old [[Yasmine Zaman]] was abducted and replaced by a [[flash clone]] just like the Class-Is, and taught in a similar way. However, she died during augmentations. Among those who survived was [[Nicole-458]].<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/forums/general/f/10/p/5486/48766.aspx#48766 '''Halo Waypoint forums''' — ''Canon question to 343i about Nicole'']</ref> Another girl, [[Janissary James]], was selected as a suitable candidate for training.
