While Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 along with his fellow Spartan II Class IIs are fighting for the survival of humanity, other Spartan programs were started to increase the amount of soldiers. Examples of these projects were the SPARTAN-III Project and the SPARTAN-X Program. In 2540, another project was approved. It was called Spartan II Class III. This program would be an exact sequel to the original Spartan-II Program. This is their story.
