SPARTAN-II Program Class II

The SPARTAN-II Program Class II was the second class of the highly successful SPARTAN-II Program.

Overview
In 2531, ONI formally approved the second class of the SPARTAN-II Program, however Doctor Catherine Halsey would dismiss already extant plans for a Class II after she deemed current candidates to not be up to standards. ONI, fearful of the increasingly large threat the Covenant was posing, would not drop the project, and would in secret begin preparing facilities across the Inner Colonies for Class II. In 2537, six years after it's initial conception by ONI, the neccessary number of acceptable candidates had been reached, and ONI re-invited Catherine Halsey to the project. Halsey would invite surviving non-retired veterans of the SPARTAN-II Program's early stages to oversee Class II. Class II would enter service in 2546, with around 40% of the original candidates surviving the augmentation process and becoming SPARTAN-II supersoldiers.
