The original Spartan Project was created to test genetic enhancements on volunteers from the armed forces.<ref>Jan - [[Axon Clips Chapter 5]]</ref>. These enhancements were the precursors to the enhancements used in the [[Spartan-II]] program. The mortality rate for those injected was high, a factor which contributed largely to the failure of the program. Those who survived the injection(s) had a greatly increased rate of mental problems later in life. It is not known at this time how many soldiers participated in this program. However, it is mentioned that there are several offspring known as [[Spartan 1.1]]'s, some of which may have been chosen for the Spartan-II program.

Two SPARTAN-Is had major roles during the Human Covenant War: Avery Johnson and Nolan Byrne, becoming the first two Humans to face the Covenant in military combat (during the raid on a Covenant Missionary Vessel), as well as during the subsequent [[Battle of Harvest]]. It is known that Avery Johnson would rise to the rank of Sergeant Major, as well as being the last (?) Human to die during the Human-Covenant War (although the Masterchief was thought to have died a short while afterward), while the fate of Nolan Byrne is unknown.
