We are the UNSC's chosen few.

                                   We are the NavSpecs.

History of the NavSpec Clan.

The NavSpec Clan takes it name from the NavSpecWep unit of the UNSC Navy. The members of the NavSpec clan fall into the shoes of the Master Chief, opting to follow the complex structural system of the UNSC. By doing this, the NavSpec clan keeps the multiplayer end of Halo combined with Halo's plot, instead of turning Halo: Multiplayer into an infantile cursefest. Members of the NavSpec clan model themselves after the discipline and efficiency of the elite NavSpecWep units of the UNSC. However, to fully understand the motives of the NavSpecs, we must take a further look back into history.

#1: What is the UNSC?

By the 24th century, Humans have founded a modest interstellar empire. There are at least a few dozen, but more likely one or two hundred, colony worlds within human-explored space. Some of them, if not most, are relatively heavily populated, indications of a prosperous two centuries exploring our neck of the galaxy.

Human technology is not that far advanced from what we have today; the basic technologies are mostly the same, just on a much larger scale, with the exception of Faster Than Light travel made possible by the Shaw-Fujikawa slipstream drives of Human starships. Weaponry is still projectile-based, and explosives still seem to involve chemical reactions rather than a release of contained plasma, as the Covenant explosives use. While Humans have recently come to possess artificial gravity, another product of reverse engineering Covenant ordinance (as demonstrated by the gravity on the Pillar of Autumn), they have yet to apply it to smaller planet-bound vehicles; the Warthog, for example, still uses wheels and does not hover.

The bulk of Humanity still does not know about the events which transpired after the Pillar of Autumn jumped away from the Reach system; the Master Chief and Cortana, wrenched from Halo Installation 04's wreckage, are the only remaining witnesses of our race to the Flood and the Forerunner machines left on Halo. All they know is that their last hope, Reach and her military forces, are either completely lost or severely impeded, and that the Covenant still loom over Human space. Earth cannot last long; even with ONI's morale-boosting propaganda and hush tactics, every night they watch the sky, waiting for the hammer to fall.

#2: What's ONI?

Much like its acronym's literal namesake, the UNSC Office of Naval Intelligence manages to simultaneously elicit both blatant awe and suspicious fear, while existing in both the forefront and shadows of Humanity's military operation. Their presence is unmistakable, but their details and internal organization are largely unknown.

Section 3 and NavSpecWep are involved in all aspects of covert and black operations, intelligence gathering, special weapons research and development, mission planning, and consultation.

Section 2 of ONI is involved primarily in propaganda and data manipulation, both in the name of security and keeping the hopes of Humanity set high.

Nothing, so far, is known about the implied Section 1.

#3. What are the Spartan II's?

A total of 75 children, approximately age six and selected for their specific genetic dispositions (that is, being as close to perfect as science could determine), were "recruited". They were replaced with congenitally defective flash-clones to cover the enlistment, and trained, primarily on and below the surface of Reach, by one Chief Petty Officer Mendez, arguably the best Drill Instructor in the Navy. Their family names, whatever they may have been, were stripped, purged from record, and forever replaced with a 3 digit designation. Their upbringing would be defined not only by gruelling physical routine, but by a comprehensive academic tutelage under Deja, a Class II AI created specifically for the SPARTAN II project.

The trainees were then unified with armored exoskeletons, turning them into nearly invincible fighting machines. These Spartan II's were under the command of the UNSC's NavalSpecialWeapons command and used in high risk missions.

#4. Who is the Master Chief(Possibly the most stupid question one could ask)

The Master Chief is the sole Spartan to leave the Reach system aboard the Pillar of Autumn For all he knows, he is the last Spartan alive. All of humanity depends on him, for the Covenant are still strong, and there are new enemies and variables to contend with. One being that Earth still knows nothing about-the Flood, the Forerunner, and their creations, such as 343 Guilty Spark.

(For more info on Halos history, go to your favorite bookstore and order Halo: The Fall of Reach, Halo: The Flood, and Halo: First Strike. I have not read them myself yet, but all indications seem to scream that they are awesome.)
