SPARTAN-V Program (Dawn Continuum)

"Forget that Biochemical, Biomechanical, Biomedical crap the previous programs put up with. We have new technology, and we have to use it. This program will prove that super-soldiers do not need to be some polished group of pretties to live out operations."

- James Nickel to the ONI officials board. The SPARTAN-V Program was the Fifth generation of Supersoldiers produced by the U.N.S.C. Instead of focusing on highly skilled, select candidates and providing them with surgeries to improve them, it would use advanced Human and Reverse-Engineered Forerunner technology. They used the SPACEBRAKE-IV style armor as opposed to the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor. There were 600 initial candidates, many of which were SPARTAN-IVs, and 515 graduates. By 2580, roughly 500 of them were alive, being the highest-performing SPARTAN Project to date.
