User:SPARTAN-089/SPARTAN-2.5 Program (SPARTAN-089)

SPARTAN 2.5 project
Other wise known as Children of Sparta project. Created 2 years after all 75 spartan 2 project soldiers left for duty. This time only 145 spartans exceeded. The spartans in this project could choose at least 1 or 2 colors on their armor but they would have to pay for it.

Codes
Just like the SPARTAN III project later on the spartans of the spartan 2.5 project received their own specific spartan tags. Instead of the letters before the number the spartan 2.5's have their letter after the number. So in example: SPARTAN-000L
