Guardian program was created by Dr. Rinko as a successor of the Spartan-V program that more adequately trains augmented individuals. The actual day-to-day training is overseen by Admiral Kirigaya.
Info[]
Selection and Training[]
Participation with the Guardian Project requires candidates to be both magically capable and also without any surviving family. The latter restriction was removed with the second group to expand the amount of trainees. The candidates are typically less than six years in age when they join. Training typically involves developing the Guardians magical skills in additional to practices developed by their Spartan predecessors. The trainers are mostly Spartan-II's, III's and some civilians with augmentations. The Guardians will be put into certain classes based on what their abilities are better for. At around age ten the Guardians will be given physical enhancements and treatment. The first group of 70 graduated at around the age of twelve.
Abilities[]
Abilities are all different depending on the Guardian.
Equipment[]
One of the technologies developed as a result of the Guardians (with the CMF) were sparrows, a sort of hovercraft. Their small size and speed allows operators to traverse any terrain in a short amount of time. Sparrows can be used for hit and run raids or more typically as stowage for Guardian equipment.
Armor[]
Guardians are provided with power armor providing them with additional protection, strength and complementing their abilities. They are free to alter the armor aesthetically as they please. The armor can self repair and is invisible to most standard detection systems. The armor can be taken off or collapsed by the user without lifting a hand; otherwise it takes an army of specialized tools. Most Guardians are given a "dumb" AI to help them on their missions, though some who partake in particularly specialized operations are given Artifical Humans.
Facilities[]
Guardians have bases on Earth, Mars and Reach. The facilities used to train Spartan-IV and V's were repurposed to accomodate the new Guardians.
