SPARTAN-I Program
- Main Article:SPARTAN-I Program
The SPARTAN-I Program was the first project of the 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.).[1] However, they were successful enough to garner the necessary consent and funding for a second phase, aptly named SPARTAN-II.
The original Spartan Project was created to test genetic enhancements on volunteers from the armed forces.[2]. 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.
