Summary
The ORION project or the Spartan I program was the phase one of the Spartan Supersoldier program. Initiated in 2491, as an element of the ORION project not much is known about the first generation of warriors (their training, augmentation, goals, etc.).
The original Spartan Project was created to test genetic enhancements on soldiers. These enhancements were the precursors to the genetic enhancements used in the Spartan-II program. The mortality rate for those injected was high, this contributed to the failure of the program. Those who survived the injection(s) had a greatly increased rate of mental problems later on 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. Some of which were chosen for the Spartan-II program, others banded together to fight the Covenant.
However they were successful enough to garner the necessary consent and funding for a second phase, aptly named SPARTAN II.
