Talk:SPARTAN-B402

Canon issues
A number of issues currently in the article: That about does it for now. I'll add additional point if they come up; you are certainly welcome to ask for further explanation or assistance. Auguststorm1945 (Talk ) 04:29, November 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * If Sanderson was an SPARTAN-III, his tag would be begin with A, B, or G, depending on what S-III company he trained with. Given that you have him active starting in 2542, he's likely a member of Beta Company; thus SPARTAN-B402.
 * S-III commandos were selected from survivors of glassed colonies, specifically those whose parents or extended families were killed. Did the Sanderson family migrate to another world at some point prior to his induction into the S-III program?
 * Regarding his placement in Beta Company (which was created after 2537); he cannot have participated in the, which took place before Beta Company was officially created.
 * On the article quote - I don't believe it is salvageable. Records, regardless of how classified, would exist for a S-III commando, and further, would be easily accessed by the officer responsible for creating the S-III concept in the first place. Also, Colonel Ackerson in 2552; he couldn't exactly speak on 402's behalf post-war.
 * Arcadia was abandoned by the UEG in 2531; while independent humans returned to settle there, the colony was ultimately destroyed in 2549 when the covenant glassed the planet. There really is no opportunity for 402 to fight there, though I supposed you could make it happen with sufficient explanation and support.
 * S-III candidates are not volunteered by their parents.
 * S-III candidates who could not perform up to required standards - such as participating in team assignments - were presumably washed out.
