ORION Project (Earth-5875)

The ORION Project, later retroactively named the SPARTAN-I Program, was the first attempt of the UNSC Navy and the Colonial Administration Authority of creating biochemically augmented supersoldiers. The project was secretly created as a response to the growing Insurrectionist threat during the Secession. Even though it was moderately successful, the ORION Project was cancelled years after, but its legacy would survive through the following SPARTAN programs.
