NOTE: This blog was written before the release of Halo Wars, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, Halo Legends and Halo: The Cole Protocol. To that end none of the SPARTANs first mentioned in that media are mentioned here. I hope one day to have time to amend this.

{Sam, Kelly, and thirty others still stood at attention in their black dress uniforms. They had made it unharmed ... More or less. There were a dozen others, though, who had lived ... but were no longer soldiers. Fhajad sat in a wheelchair, shaking uncontrollably. Kirk and René were in neutral-buoyancy gel tanks, breathing through respirators; their bones had been so twisted they no longer looked human. There were others, still alive, but with injuries so critical they could not be moved.}
27/11/2525: Samuel-034 dies during the destruction of the Covenant ship. 32 SPARTANs

{The Master Chief watched his teammate tumble away into the darkness. All his training, his superhuman strength, reflexes, and determination . . . completely useless against the laws of physics. He didn’t even know if James was dead. For the moment, he had to assume that he was}
