| The '''SPARTAN-I Program''' was the first project of the [[Spartans|Spartan Supersoldier program]]. Initiated in [[2491]], as an element of the ORION project, not much is known about this first generation of warriors (their training, augmentation, goals, etc.).<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 16</ref> However, they were successful enough to garner the necessary consent and funding for a second phase, aptly named [[SPARTAN-II]]. | | The '''ORION Project''' was a [[Naval Special Forces|NavSpecWar]] program to produce [[UNSC]] [[Marines|NavSpecWar Marines]] to combat the [[Insurrection]]. |
|
| |
|
| 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 on in life. It is not known at this time how many soldiers participated in this program. However, it is mentioned that there are several offspring, some of which may have been chosen for the Spartan-II program.

He moved to the zip line that stretched from the tree house top to the jungle floor. He grabbed the line, wrapped slide casing on and then jumped over the edge. For a man pushing sixty, the Chief moved like a soldier thirty years younger. It wasn't the first time Kurt had wondered what kind of Spartan he would have made.''</ref>) - Active, in the [[Shield World]]

| The children of Spartan 1.0 are called [[Spartan 1.1]]s, including [[Janissary James]] and [[Kevin Morales]]. There are sixteen 1.1s.<ref>[[Media:One_point_oh.ogg|one_point_oh Axon]]</ref> They have much of the same augmentations as their parents, though without the same military training. Some of them tried to create their own army to fight the [[Covenant]] but just as they were about to bring the fight to the Covenant, the Covenant invaded [[Earth]].<ref>[[Axon Clips Chapter 12|Enter Kevin Axon Clips Chapter 12]]</ref>

| == Trivia ==
| | The SPARTAN-I Program was a program to test augments on UNSC volunteers. It was an element of the ORION Project. |
|
| |
|
| *[[Wikipedia:Project Orion|Project Orion]] was also a spacecraft program in the real world. It was the first engineering design study of spacecraft powered by nuclear pulse propulsion. Its supporters felt that it had great potential for space travel, but it lost political approval because of concerns with fallout from its propulsion. The Partial Test Ban Treaty of 1963 is generally acknowledged to have ended the project.
