SPARTAN-II Program, Class I

The SPARTAN-II program, Class I was the first class of the Spartan-II program, and the first iteration of the SPARTAN series of super soldier programs. Originally intended by and the as the follow on to the earlier , the resulting program would differ greatly from its predecessor and would result in program becoming the first successful attempt to produce advanced super soldiers for the UNSC.
Designed to serve as 'Humanity's protectors' in the face of a rapid growing and power against the authority of the , the Spartan-II program was originally intended for 300 candidates, this number would be halved to form an initial candidate pool of 150 subjects as its first class of soldiers, but that a further lack of resources would see whittled down to only 75 candidates for conscription prior to the programs launch in .
Learning from the lessons of the ORION program and pushing the boundaries of science at that time, the Class I's experienced the most extensive and invasive physical augmentations of all of the Spartan generations, with the resulting procedures increasing their physical mass and height to around seven feet by adult age on average. As a result the Spartan-II's would often be considered as the strongest Spartan generation in comparison not only to the cheaper yet more numerous wartime , but even to the more substantially more advanced of the post war period. However, due to the experimental nature of the , the Class I's would suffer the worst rate of augmentation failures among all of the Spartan programs, with over half of the programs 75 candidates were either killed by them or left as cripples as a result of their bodies rejecting the procedures.
Despite this, the Class I's would become some of humanities greatest warriors who's service to humanity during the , with many of their actions and indeed becoming legends to humanity during as a result. However, due to their initial low strength of 33 at the start of the conflict, combat losses and injuries would take their toll on the number of Class I's throughout the war, as despite the addition of successfully reaugmented washouts, the number of Class I's would steadily decrease as the war continued. As a result, by the UNSC could only assemble just 25 remaining Class I's to participate in the UNSC's desperate attempt to force an end to the conflict, . Many of these survivors would then subsequently perish in the , laying down their lives in defence of not only the , but the of the Spartan-II program, with the majority of the few remaining Class I's that survived the battle being too badly injured to give any further combat service prior the wars end.
Following the war, the surviving Class I's would continue in their role as humanities protectors, combating both the re-emergence of movements and that threatened both the UEG and humanity. However, post war scrutiny of the program would begin to plague the program, with concerns about both the ethics and morality of the projects inception and operation. Regardless, the Class I's would continue their service for the UNSC with notable distinction, although losses would still during this comparatively peaceful period, leaving only a meager few Class I's that are still in active service with the UNSC by .

Utilising a number of sources ranging from examination of the UEG's extensive educational and medical records of its citizens, to ONI intelligence reports, and most prominently through DNA samples gathered during the UNSC's Outer Colony vaccination program Dr. Halsey was able to identify a list of 150 suitable candidates for her Spartan-II program.

Augmentation successes=
Of the 75 Spartan-II candidates that underwent augmentations less than half of the candidates would officially survive their augmentations procedures to become Spartan-II's supersoldiers. However, owing to the classified nature of the Spartan-II Program not all of the 33 have been confirmed. The listed Spartan's are only the ones that can canonically proven as being successful augmentees, however, this is subject to change depending on the emergence of new pieces of canon material.

Augmentation failures=
Despite the efforts of Dr Halsey, half of the candidates would fail their augmentation procedures as their bodies violently rejected the changes made to them with many dying as a result, whilst a small group would be left as cripples who's future service to the UNSC would be confined to being behind a desk, although some who's damages could be reversed would later be successfully augmented to serve in their intended role as humanities protectors.
Washouts
* 
* Despite washing out from the Spartan-II program, some candidates would later be successfully augmented and would see service as a spartan-II.
* Due to falling into a coma and believing that he would eventually succumb to the effects of his failed augmentations, Soren-066 was preemptively declared as being an augmentation fatality and would have a casket included in the funeral for the candidates who had died. However, despite the odds Soren would regain consciousness and begin to recover from his injuries, being retroactively reclassified as the thirteen washout.

Fatalities
* 
* 
* Oscar-129 would originally survive his augmentation but would later escape alongside four of his fellow augmentees in an attempt to return to their families. However, upon discovering that Dr Halsey had concealed his abduction by replacing him with a flash clone of himself. Suffering from the shock of this reality, and possibly affected by mental instability that had arisen from his augmentations, Oscar would flee into the night before taking his own life shortly afterwards. After the recovery of his body, Dr Halsey would have Oscar reclassified as an augmentation fatality in order to conceal the truth from the other Spartan-II's.

ONI cover stories=
Unbeknownst to the majority of the other Spartan-II's, a small group of Spartan-II candidates would be deliberately listed as being fatalities of their augmentations in order to either allow their covert discharged by the program, or to become covvert operations teams working directly for ONI.
Discharged
* Due to the nature of her injuries, Dr Halsey would have Serin-019 be declared as being an augmentation fatality in order to spare the other Spartan-II's of knowing that she was living in agony in the care of the Office of Naval Intelligence.
* Suffering a mental breakdown in the wake of his escape attempt and murder of his flash clone, Ralph-103 would be listed as an augmentation fatality in order to allow him to be discharged from the program and back into civilian life.
 Whilst speculation, Gray team being listed as fatalities fits with their teams operational profile, and helps to fix the issue regarding the number of active Spartan-II's by the time of the Fall of Reach.

Staff & Trainers=
In order to mould the selected candidates into becoming the UNSC's most capable soldiers Dr Halsey would assemble under her a vast contingent of support personnel to facilitate the training of the Spartan-II's. Ranging from experts in a vast array of academic, scientific, and practical fields teachers who would educated and hone the conscripts placed under their care into some of the finest minds humanity had to offer, to the army of combat veteran D.I's who would drill into the children all of the skills and discipline that would make them perfect soldiers for the UNSC, often using brutal methods to instil these lessons.
