Evo-014's Summary
RELEASED: October 27, 2015TIMELINE: August 17, 2517 - November 27, 2525
In the year 2517, the brilliant Doctor Catherine Halsey, operating under the auspices of the clandestine Office of Naval Intelligence, embarked on a highly classified and groundbreaking initiative known as the Spartan-II program. This covert undertaking aimed to forge an exceptional cadre of super-soldiers, a league beyond any conventional military force. Over the ensuing eight years, Doctor Halsey, in collaboration with the esteemed SCPO Franklin Mendez, dedicated herself to the rigorous training and transformation of 75 extraordinary young individuals, nurturing them into the epitome of elite warriors.
Following their intensive training, the Spartan-II candidates underwent a series of demanding physical augmentations, a process designed to elevate their physical capabilities to unprecedented heights. Tragically, while nearly half of these remarkable individuals successfully endured the augmentation procedures, the remaining half either faced debilitating physical impairments or succumbed to the arduous ordeal. Those who emerged triumphant from this crucible of transformation were subsequently equipped with the pinnacle of technological marvels: the MJOLNIR powered exoskeleton. This formidable armor bestowed upon the Spartans a prodigious augmentation, more than doubling their strength, agility, and resilience on the battlefield, solidifying their status as unmatched super-soldiers.
