Type: Training Program
Capacity: 50 Students
Risks: Due to genetic augmentation, only 20% of the students will survive the program.
Yield: 14 Super-Elites. Read below for results.
Purpose: With rising demands for better soldiers, the Covenant scientists designed a set of experiments, which were tested on a small subject group of 100 elites. The project was successful. These were the results:

Experimental Program SHIELD
Subjects were exposed to 12 years intensive training and education. 12 Dropped out of program, 3 casualties. Remainder was deemed acceptable for Gene Therapies.
Subjects response to genetic augmentation:

Subjects 24, 53, 45, 34, 98, 76, 54, 58, 32, 67, 12, 16, 18, 27 -
Large increase in muscle density and strength. Response and Reaction speed increased 300%. Skeletal structures gained density and overall strength. Senses extremely heightened. Mental Capacity increase.

[[ALL OTHER SUBJECTS DID NOT SURVIVE THE TRANSFORMATION]]

No adverse effects detected as of present. Combat training continues in Facility 365.

OOC: Just thought i would throw this out there, an idea i just had while in space. =)

dude, Elites are already suer powerfull, why more?
anyway, I dont think John will aloud this

probably not, but i thought it was really cool, and i just had to put it. Plus, we would only have 14 super-elites, while the humans have 30 spartans.

Yeah, but Elites = Spartans. So you have like thousands of elites to their 30 spartans. So you don't get supersoldiers, because most of you soldiers ARE supersoldiers. The factions are even right now, don't mess up the balance.

Seems Like Your Just Trying To Make Covenant Spartans :)

We're the one and only supersoldiers. Beat that!

basically that's the idea, but i thought they would be good prophet guards or special forces. And elites are not actually as good as spartans. Hunters a re better, brutes are about equal, and elites are a little lower.

But you can't have Covie spartans because it would tip the balance scales. Humans have ground superiority while Covie have space.

It's 14 troops, and they aren't part of the armed forces, they'd probably be guards.

Definitely not.

Before you want to DO ANYTHING like this, you must ask the council first!
