In the book Ghosts of Onyx Beta company was sent on a suicide misssion to Pegrassi Delta which was a Covenant held planet fairly close to our solar system. It was being used to build Covenant Fleets and invasion carriers. 300 Spartan III's were sent all of which were killed except for 2. Tom and Lucy. The mission was a success however. Tom and Lucy Returned to Onyx to create the next batch of Spartan III's also known as Gamma Company and couldn't have been on Reach however. Also Alpha was completly destroyed years earlier. It was impossible for Gamma to be on Reach since they weren't finished with training until late into the year 2552. Reach fell earlier in the year. So the big question is how the Hell a Spartan III is on Reach. Its answered in the dialouge of the trailer When the "lone wolf" first enters the building with the other Spartans one of them asks the commander " I though no one survived Pegrassi sir?" The commander answers "Spartans never die. They just go missing in action" Thus the Lone Wolf must have been a survivor of Beta Company which Tom and Lucy never found amongst all the bodes. Also it appears that he was discovered by ONI and was hidden from the rest of the world and spartans and kept top secret. The commander tells the Lone Wolf in the trailer " I read all your files Liutenant, even the parts that ONI didn't want me too." So yes you'll be playing as a Spartan III on Reach which brings up alot of new questions. Hope this answers some for you guys. |
The only Spartan truly missing in action was Spartan II Kurt (And MC but he's listed as KIA because it was the end of the war). All other Spartans have indeed been killed in Action (KIA) but are listed as Missing in Action (MIA) to keep morale high.
I haven't read The Cole Protocol but the guy from Reach looks like the Spartan on the cover.
