They are often referred to as 'super' and seem to have a class of their own, often coming right after the brutes,elites and spartans. | ||

Some ODSTs actively participated in training the [[SPARTAN-II|SPARTAN-IIs]], but the efficiency of that [[SPARTAN-II|program]] was demonstrated when a single [[John-117|SPARTAN-II]] killed two ODSTs and left two severely wounded during an exercise. These fatalities resulted in ODSTs having a disdain of the SPARTANS, as they were "Freaks" and not even worthy of being [[Human]]. | Some ODSTs actively participated in training the [[SPARTAN-II|SPARTAN-IIs]], but the efficiency of that [[SPARTAN-II|program]] was demonstrated when a single [[John-117|SPARTAN-II]] killed two ODSTs and left two severely wounded during an exercise.
