The success of the Spartan II soldier became a legend before UNSC made the Spartan plan public, and it was regarded as an immortal myth of human resistance to the Star Alliance war after it was made public. However, there is a worrying reality behind the brilliant victory of Sparta II. First of all, the number of Spartan soldiers in the second stage is really too small. Their efforts may win one or two battles, but they are far from changing the situation. In order to ensure the quality of Spartan in the second stage, Dr. halsey set strict gene selection criteria, which made few qualified candidates. Nearly half of the few candidates did not pass the biological transformation, and finally only 33 Spartan II soldiers were able to go to the battlefield. Among these 33 elite soldiers, the number of people who have been fighting for years has been decreasing. On the other hand, because he couldn't find a suitable candidate, Dr. Hausey postponed the training of Sparta indefinitely, making the spartan second-order warrior who lacked successors.
Secondly, everyone's training funds for Sparta II and Raytheon armor are enough to train and equip a battalion of ordinary soldiers. Such a high military expenditure also makes people have reservations about the input-output ratio of training a new batch of second-stage soldiers.
The third problem is that the second phase of Sparta has been made public to boost morale. If a new group of soldiers are trained, people will want to know the details of the candidates and training. I'm afraid office of naval intelligence can't kidnap children freely any more, and the training content and biological transformation can't be implemented as smoothly as in the past.
Under various constraints, the Spartan plan had to find another way to start the top secret Spartan phase III plan on agate. The ultimate goal of the third phase of the Spartan plan is to train soldiers with comparative advantages and perform high-risk suicide tasks in a short time with less funds. In other words, the third stage of the Spartan plan is to exchange human lives for time. It is hoped that tens of thousands of high-quality soldiers can be trained in a few decades, so as to be able to fight against the interstellar alliance forces that far exceed human beings in number and technology. Sparta III solved many problems in Phase II. Although the means are in doubt, the efficiency and the final result are amazing.
1, Sparta III greatly lowered the criteria for gene selection, enabling more candidates to participate in this project. There are generally more than 400 candidates for the third fighter, and finally 300 people are selected as a company level unit. Although lowering the genetic selection criteria increased the number of candidates, it also made the overall level of Spartan III soldiers uneven. In particular, there are many psychological quality problems. Different from the second-stage soldiers, the candidate children of the third-stage soldiers were not kidnapped from their homes after selecting the target, but "voluntarily joined". The candidates for the third phase of soldiers are all orphans in the peripheral colonies who lost their parents and homes in the Star Alliance War. After selecting the target, the selector will ask the candidate if he wants to kill the Star Alliance to avenge his parents. Under this selection standard and method, all the children participating in the third phase of the project are extremely aggressive and violent, easily angry and out of control, and often fight with their peers for a little thing in training.
2. With the development of science and technology, the survival rate of biological modification and crystal implantation has been greatly improved, from about 50% in the second phase to 100% in the third phase. The Chrysanthemum Project, which is in charge of biological modification research, provided the following biological modification drugs for Spartan III soldiers:
Drug 8942-LQ99: Makes bones hard and almost impossible to break.
Medicine 88005-MX77: Myofibrillar protein makes muscle tissue thicker and stronger.
Drug 88947-OP24: The viewing angle film is a stable drug, which increases visual sensitivity and night vision ability.
Drug 87556-UD6 1: increases nerve sensitivity and reduces reaction time.

On the basis of these drugs, Kurt added the mutant 009762-OO (illegal drug) which changed the frontal nerve conduction when training Gamma Company. This drug will greatly enhance a person's aggression, strength, endurance and pain tolerance. It can keep people active in extreme situations and will not go into shock like ordinary people. But the side effects are also very serious. This drug makes people lose their rational thinking and tactical planning ability. They must continue to take the other two drugs to reduce the side effects of 009762-OO.
3. The training period of the third-phase soldiers is shortened, and the training skills are changed from focusing on personal ability development to tactical cooperation ability. The second-stage soldiers began training on 25 17, and entered the battle in 2525, with a training time of ***8 years. Alpha Company, a third-phase soldier, has 300 soldiers. It started training in 253 1 and went into battle in 2536. The training time is only five years.
4. Soldiers in the third stage are no longer equipped with Raytheon armor, but use semi-dynamic penetrating armor (semi-functional latent armor, SPI armor). SPI armor is superior to ordinary soldiers' armor, but it is far inferior to the second-stage soldiers' Raytheon armor in defense and function. Of course, SPI armor is much cheaper than Raytheon armor. SPI armor, as its name implies, is not dominant in hand-to-hand combat, and its purpose is to "lurk". SPI armor is equipped with the latest camouflage function, which can change the color and material of armor at any time according to the surrounding environment. Its material is relatively light and soft, which provides the wearer with the largest activity space. However, SPI armor has no protective shield function, so it has no protective ability.
The training of Spartan soldiers in the third stage was completed under the supervision of Spartan soldiers in the second stage-051Kurt (Lieutenant Colonel Kurt Ambrose) and Manders. From the beginning of the 253 1 year plan to the end of the Star Alliance War in 2552, a * * * trained three groups of soldiers. Among them, Alpha Company, the first company to go into battle, was all killed in the Prometheus mission in 2537. The second batch of Beta companies went into battle.
Killed in a torpedo operation in 2545, only two soldiers survived. The third batch of gamma companies is still training, and the pioneer remains on Agate are on alert because the halo is activated. In the end, only a few people from Gamma entered the world of SHIELD together with other surviving second-stage soldiers, Dr. House and Manders's instructors.
Considering that Colonel Daniel F. Akerson, the leader of the third phase plan, and Kurt 05 1, the main person in charge, have been killed, and the war between the Star Alliance and mankind has ended because of a series of actions by the sergeant in Halo, I am afraid that Sparta will not recruit soldiers in the third phase plan. The whole Spartan plan came to an end because of the end of the war.
The last surviving Spartan in the third stage includes: Beta Company: B09 1 Lucy, B292 Tom, Gamma Company: G099 Ash, G? -Olivia, G? Mark, and members of the Japanese Knife Team (number and name unknown).
