Project VACUNA

Project: VACUNA was a program initiated in the twenty-eighth century under the United Nations Space Command Special Warfare Directorate; its objective was to produce a large quantity of affordable super soldiers using "tried-and-true" methods to reduce cost and increase productivity.
==History==
The plans for VACUNA were first drawn up in 2714 while the mighty Veer continued their slow, arduous push into Orbital Defense Initiative territory. The UNSC lacked the supersoldier programs it previously utilized and began to believe that they would need to organize other; the product would be the concept of VACUNA. The project's lead scientist, Harrison Bladses, proposed that using technology which humanity could produce at a moderate cost along with heavy training regimens similar to the SPARTAN program and even more advanced chemical augmentations had the potential to produce a mighty unit of elite operators. In 2515, teams of Office of Naval Intelligence operators began to search for physically, mentally, and psychologically superior children between the ages of four and six, and in 2716 more than twelve-hundred children were kidnapped, although they weren't replaced in any way with intentions of allowing them to see their families after their training was complete. All the children were taken to the planet Crossroads aboard the UNSC Galleon and Megalodon.
===Training===
When they arrived at Village Io, the child candidates were given an orientation on their future with the program and were shown numerous videos of actions performed by previous elite units, included a computer generated Battle of Thermopylae, authentic film from Operation: OVERLORD in 1944 and various others. The children were then treated to a large feast including pasta with tomato sauce, steak, macaroni and cheese, and deserts made with the milk of Tran's Bears before being given their roommate assignments; each group of ten organized would also be their operating teams for their career and were thoroughly organized based on previous observations.
To their dismay, the candidates were awoken two hours before sunrise the next day and began an extremely strenuous routine of physical training. Trainees such as V101-5 AND V101-3 would perform above status quo while others such as the naturally rebellious V95-7 were far from accepting of their given commands. The latter mentioned would be the first to attempt an escape; he was caught by an ODST whom tranquilized V95-7 and the recruit was returned to training after a light reprimand followed by twenty-five disciplinary push ups; he would unknowingly set an example for the rest of the children and none would attempt to make any sort of escape for months. Meanwhile, they would only perform physical training along with schooling in critical thinking in preparation to become tactical geniuses.
