Assassin Class Spartan

The Assassin Class Spartan was a rank of Spartan IVs that was created one month after the end of the Human-Covenant war. They were created by ONI to assassinate Covenant targets.
== Background ==
Post war, humanity as well as some Sangheli factions had to work together to rebuild. Before the Sangheli seeked out their homeworld, they exchanged technologies with the UNSC, including their "Energy Sword" technologies. ONI tech figured out a way to minimize the size and sound of the blade to make it more efficient for stealth operations. 
== Equipment ==
During battle scenarios, Assassin's were known to pick enemies off using standard issue Battle Rifles. However, on stealth missions, they were known to use Hidden Swords and Magnums. They were also equipped with combat knives and active camoflauge.
== Armor ==
The armor model was based on the Assassins of old folklore, and proved to be quite stealthy. The helmet had a main head piece, plus two foldable mandibles that contain poison filters and flashlights.
