Janissary James, that's the name. Took me a while to remember. Her dad, in the ILB audio clips, was a SPARTAN-I. Like I said, they were not the ancient Greeks.

Mr. Clark? I know not this man. I just remember her from the ILB audio clips. I have only heard them once, 1.5 years ago, but I do not know who Mr. Clark is.

SPARTAN I is not the original Greek Spartans. Spartans were just people who lived in Sparta in acient times. During acient greece times Sparta was a huge military power (along with Athens). Sparta was known for it's feirce soldiers and even taking away children at a young age and training them into the military. To say SPARTAN I is the original Spartans does not make anysense at all. The SPARTAN project was just influences by the spartans soldiers.

What was the SPARTAN I project? Truthfully, there isnt much information about it. It seems to me it was a project similar to the SPARTAN II. UNSC took children and tried to alter them into super soldiers. (Whether that be genetically, training, experiments etc). This group of soldiers did not have the MJONIR, but assumingly this project was successful enough to go with project SPARTAN II that did. This is all I can add. I am sure someone can add more to the matter, or make some corrections.

To everyone that said the SPARTAN I project was a group of voulunteered Marines and special operations members, I salute you. You've got your Halo Universe knowledge squared away.

Just listen to the ILB recordings once more. Jim James, the father of Jan James, was an original SPARTAN I, as was her mother, Gilly. After the UNSC entered a peacetime (way before the Covenant/Human War), they were basically decommissioned. They had a lot of physical augmentation, but nowhere near the level the SPARTAN II (or even SPARTAN III) program had. Because of this, they retained that certain quality that let them remained human (and not cybernetic, like the Master Chief and his Spartans). Therefore, all surviving members were discharged, and allowed to take up normal lives. In addition, all children any of the SPARTAN I's had were shot up with augmentation serums when they were born, should the need arise for another SPARTAN program. I assume they abandoned this idea when the Covie/Human War began, considering most of the SPARTAN "1.1's" were just 17 and 18 years old, and because the SPARTAN II project had previously been started, leading some to suspect that the ONI spooks knew about the Covenant for quite some time prior to the first battle at Harvest with Admiral Cole and the single Covenant Destroyer.

Yeah, I'm a geek...
