: Was that all a Spartan I was? This is from I Love Bees: "James J:
: There's a new program... we went through some tweaks, but it's still just
: me in here."

: I don't really know or remember anymore about them, save from what Sgt.
: Johnson can pull off as one.

: Maybe the Mark VI was improved from the Mark V, and designed to be more
: compatible with the average human? It would make sense for the goal of the
: technology to try and become accessible for as many soldiers as possible.
: Thus, Maria, as a Spartan I (an enhanced human at some rate) would be a
: good candidate to test this transitional set of armor. And since it is
: brand new, and possibly a huge user of resources, their numbers would be
: few, which would explain the rarity of them.

: Jumps in technology like this seems possible to me, as Earth would be pulling
: out all the stops as the Covenant drew closer to reaching their goal.

: Pure speculation, mind you. I'd need to make a thorough survey to be
: sure...hehe

It was mentioned ina few places that Spartan-IIs were needed for the armor as they only had the modified physique that could control it. It was an expensive program to modify them, but it was necessary for them to be able to control the armor. It was the armor tech that required such strong and quick soldiers.

They did make a technological armor that still required some enhancement, but not as much as Spartan-II soldiers. It still was out of the realm of Joe Average Marine...they were the Spartan-IIIs.
