The SPARTAN-IV Program is the fourth iteration of the SPARTAN supersoldier program. It was conceived by Admiral Margaret Parangosky, the Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence.

Background

The SPARTAN-IV Program was originally to be headed by SPARTAN-III lead Colonel James Ackerson, with SPARTAN-II project lead Dr. Catherine Halsey to be reassigned as Ackerson's subordinate.^[1] Though Ackerson was killed following the Battle of Mare Erythraeum, ONI continued the program without him.^[2]

Like the original ORION Project, the SPARTAN-IV Program utilized consenting adult volunteers.^[3] The remaining SPARTAN-IIIs were offered to be integrated into the SPARTAN-IV Program.^[4] An unknown number of SPARTAN-IVs were active by 2553. Some of them, including Majestic Squad, were assigned to the UNSC Infinity before it was launched.^[2]

The SPARTAN-IVs serve in a dedicated branch of the UNSCDF known simply as "Spartan", whereas their forebears operated within other chains of command.^[5]

Gameplay

SPARTAN-IV supersoldiers will be featured in Halo 4 as customizable multiplayer characters. These SPARTANs are equipped with the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2), a lightweight variation of the MJOLNIR armor.^[6] They trained with one another in Infinity's state-of-the art combat deck, a training chamber that is capable of replicating environments.^[6]
