(Entry 1 of 2) 1 : a native or inhabitant of ancient Sparta. 2 : a person of great courage and self-discipline. Spartan. adjective.

In modern English, the word “spartan” means simplistic, rugged, self-disciplined, etc. It comes from Ancient Sparta, where frivolity and comfort were not common.

Sparta

noun. an ancient city in S Greece: the capital of Laconia and the chief city of the Peloponnesus, at one time the dominant city of Greece: famous for strict discipline and training of soldiers.

Sparta, also known as Lacedaemon, was an ancient Greek city-state located primarily in the present-day region of southern Greece called Laconia.

In Halo: Reach and Halo: First Strike, 11 unnamed SPARTANs of Team Beta are killed during the Fall of Reach. It is unknown if these 11 SPARTANs make up currently known SPARTANs or previously unknown SPARTANs.

Spartan II’s are better, in pretty much every respect. They were trained to be survivors from the age of 5(ish), to be the best of the best. They accomplish the impossible regularly, and received more extensive and complete augmentations than any Spartan class after them. The III’s were war orphans who volunteered.

300 Spartans

All 300 Spartans deployed on the mission were killed.

As with Alpha, the average age range of the S-III’s was around 4-6 years of age upon recruitment, though again, likely with outliers (Both Katherine-B320 and B312 were, going by their age in 2552, older than the norm upon recruitment.)

Yeah Master Chief is a virgin. They all have reduced sex-drives to help them cope with the fact that they’re living weapons and spend almost no time outside the battlefield. Its not gone, but its reduced enough that they can almost never be tempted or seduced by an enemy.

On average a Brute weights between 1,100 to 1,500 pounds.

He eats the flesh and drinks the tear and blood of his fallen foes. IIRC the suit does do some recycling of body waste. Spartans can also go for a long time without eating anything.

Samuel was considered to be the strongest of the first class of Spartan II’s. According to John-117, he had the best eyes and ears of all of his subordinates. He is also said to be one head taller than John-117, making him one of the larger Spartans, and was the fastest to recover from the augmentation.

nope. Thel, the Arbiter, was leading the Fleet of Particular Justice to chase after the Pillar of Autumn at the point Noble Six is killed.

SPARTAN-1337 is a SPARTAN-II Commando of the UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command. He is the main character of Odd One Out, the non-canon and satirical interpretation of the Halo universe produced by Toei Animation for Halo Legends.

No. The Master Chief and most Spartan-IIs don’t know about Spartan-IIIs until after the Onyx Conflict. He was asleep on the autumn when noble 6 brought Cortana to captain Keyes. So unless someone debriefed him on how the Cortana package made it to him I don’t think he would know.

While Master Chief does hold the highest enlisted rank, Noble 6 is an officer. As a Lieutenant Noble 6 outranks Master Chief, and could theoretically be placed as his commanding officer. Being an officer provides Noble 6 with more human resources at his fingertips and the ability to give direction and lead.

While I won’t dispute that the character could be resurrected by 343 for whatever reason, Bungie did state that Noble Six did not survive on Reach. Quote: After they had already succeeded in making sure that one thing that gave humanity any hope was actually saved, (we decided)

Noble Six HAD to die regarding the chronological integrity of the whole Halo storyline. That’s not true at all. Other Spartans, soldiers, and people made it off Reach and the canon is fine. Halsey, Buck, and Jun are the survivors that come quickest to mind.

One hour alone on Normal.

Following the war, Buck was promoted to SPARTAN-IV and eventually joined Fireteam Osiris, led by Jameson Locke. By August of 2558, he had completed 188 military operations, including 49 full campaigns.

Yes. Both male and female versions talk.
