Interestingly, the Spartan III program never went public, unlike the Spartan II's.

Operation: TORPEDO[edit]

Main article: Operation: TORPEDO

List of appearances[edit]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Lessons Learned establishes that Beta Company members Tom-B292 and Lucy-B091 were six years old when they started their training. Page 106 of the Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition) establishes that Tom and Lucy were born on April 14, 2533 and January 28, 2533, respectively. This makes Beta Company's start date somewhere between April 2539 and January 2540.
