User:Marc404/Epsilon Company

Episilon Company was a highly classified group of 120 Spartan III Super soldiers created during the human covenant war. It was a test group by ONI section three to see if spartans III's could possibly supplement and replace Spartan II super soldiers as cheaper, long term, replacements, rather then act as expendable counterparts. All Spartan IIIs of Epsilon were designated KAT-2 spartans.

They were given Upgraded SPI armor ,which included light energy shielding later in the war, and some were given Mjolnir MK-4C (modified version of MK-4 that was cheaper to make and not as impressive as the SPARTAN IIs MK-4).

Many Epsilon members still carried out Head-Hunter missions, contradictory to their non-suicidal creation. However, many saw service defending human worlds and going on covert missions that would usually be handled by Spartan IIs and other special forces.

Starting in 2541, spartans of Epsilon, along with several other KAT-2 spartans from other companies, where used to supplement losses in the SPARTAN GHOST SPECIAL WARFARE unit. The remaining Epsilon spartans remained as ONI headhunters and agents.

Several Epsilon spartans were present as security on Onyx during the Onyx conflict; all perished during the fighting.
