User:XW3 AR3 L3GION/SPARTAN-IV Program (L3GION)

{Under Construction|XW3 AR3 L3GION}}

The SPARTAN-IV Program was an Office of Naval Intelligence, Section III, Omega-7 Division project to produce a vast amount of elite super soldiers on a greater skill level than the soldiers of the SPARTAN-II Program but on a numerical scale similar to the entire SPARTAN-III Program. The Omega-7 Division was headed by Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Veronica Dare.

The SPARTAN-IV Program suffered mulitple casualties during their one hundred and twenty years of combat service to the United Nations Space Command Defence Force before being intergrated into civilian life, where they dropped the 'SPARTAN' tag and adopted Ambrose as their last name, as a sign of respect to Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose.

Introduction
After the Great War, there was an unprecedented amount of orphaned children that had overwhelmed Earth's and her colonies orphanages. While the United Earth Government and United Nations Space Command had begun to formalize plans to lessen the load on the orphanages, they were halted by the timely arrival of Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Veronica Dare and her entourage of Office of Naval Intelligence officers used such an opportunity to form the fourth generation of SPARTAN's with a larger amount of potential candidates even when following Doctor Catherine Elizabeth Halsey's strict set of genetic requirements.

Purpose
After the Great War, several high ranking UNSC officers and all of the Sangheili War Lords believed that the Covenant Remnants would not simply extingiush themselves over the course of the Covenant Civil War and that the resulting war afterwards would be on a larger scale than the previous one. With a new war came the need for new supersoldiers to take to the battlefield - both against the obvious upsurge of the Insurrection Union after the downfall of UNSC's major powerbases and against the Covenant Remnants that began to appear.

However, fourth generation needed to address the major problems that had complicated the actual effectiveness of the first Class of SPARTAN-II's. The fourth Generation had a large pool of orphaned children to 'recruit' their candidates from - the ONI recruiters were actually overwhelmed by the amount of orphaned children willing to serve. The MJOLNIR armour that the recruits would eventually be armoured with was already hidden away in several bunkers hidden underneath the Republic of Tajikistan, in the Coalition of Middle Eastern States - one of the many UNSC bases on Earth. Before long, the recruits were taken during the night and transported to the now uninhabitated Southern Island of New Zealand.
