There were 418 candidates, but only 300 "graduated" and became Spartans. In Operation TORPEDO, Beta Company was told to destroy a Covenant refinery on Pegasi Delta in 2545. They had succeded, but at a great cost: all of Beta Company was destroyed with the exception of Tom and Lucy. They wield MA5K Assault Rifles and M-19B SAM Rocket Launchers. They are strong enough to break Elites' neck.
