[edit] The Story Behind the series
(This story is based on the re-made version, not the original Halo PC Version.)
A Machinima made by the OuterShadowClan. It was created in the middle of 2007, Greib and Aranazza discussed ideas about the machinima before making their first ever series. After a few weeks of hard work it was created. It was ok, however the HUD (Heads up display) was shown during the episodes and comments made by viewers convinced Aranazza to remake it. He did this, but he was not happy with the outcome and deleted it and put the machinima on hold. Now he is adding detail into the story and now has moved it onto halo 3. Trailers have been released to promote the series.
[edit] Story Overview
The year is 2551, Earth is over-populated, and other planets have been populated by the UNSC so that the human race can continue its growth. Reach, The home of the UNSC Spartans. After many missions taking care of threats to them, a new evil arises. 2552, The Covenant, they attacked Reach, killing any thing in their way, little survivors, large amount of deaths. Spartan-145 and other Spartans are on Reach, defending bridges (Narrows, Halo 3) which lead into the UNSC Campsites, this is where most of the Spartans were training and recovering. They receive a transmission stating that a large battle fleet had arrived and began attacking Reach. The Spartans scrambled together and prepared to defend the bridges. The Covenant attacked, a group of Elites fired their weapons towards the Spartans. The battle commenced.
After the fall of Reach, the surviving Spartans where sent to various locations, 2nd Division platoon was sent to an abandoned base on Earth. From here they set up a HQ (Standoff). The Base was deserted years before due to a rebel attack. After bringing in equipment and supplies they receive a message describing that the Pillar of Autumn randomly jumped into slip space and they lost communication with the crew onboard.
The Redemption also randomly jumped into slip space, by doing so, Spartan-023 and his team had discovered an Alien ring world. They decided to explore this ring. Soon after landing they were attacked by Covenant forces. The Redemption fled from battle leaving the Spartans to fight. After hours of battling, Spartan-023 was captured along with some other Spartans. This is because of one last attack from the covenant, forced the Spartans to be captured. They were taken to the Covenant flagship known as "Vindictive Malice", the Elites began to torture them. Spartan-023 and his team said nothing. One by one the Spartans died. The last Spartan was 023. The Elites left the torture room due to a flood outbreak from the testing area. This flood managed to gain control over the ships prison system, and released the enraged Spartan. When the Elites came back they noticed him gone, then 023 attacked them both, killing them he stole an active camouflage device and infiltrated the hangar where he stole a banshee and flew back to his ship, UNSC Redemption. Luckily the covenant did not find it after it fled from battle. Making sure they were not been followed they sent of a signal which would take any followers the opposite direction to Earth.
Spartan-023 managed to gain data about the ring while been tortured. They called it Halo; the real name was installation-02. 023 travelled back to Earth. After arriving back at earth he told them of the ring he found, 2nd Division platoon was ordered to investigate along with Spartan-023. They went back to Halo.

[edit] Spartan-145
Background
Born on Earth in 2528, he is a young Spartan with lots of experience. Spartan 145, like any other Spartan, was taken at the age of 6 and was trained to become the best. He succeeded in many ways and was sent into his first battle against older Spartans, since it was against his own kind, they did not use real weaponry. By the age of 23 he was already a Petty officer and looked up to by younger Spartans. When it the year was 2551 he was sent to reach to patrol a dig site of an old mysterious construct. 1 Year later the covenant attacked and he was assigned to the bridge which led into the Spartan Campsite. He defended it and stopped the covenant from progressing, but he blamed himself for the loss of his fellow Spartans who died on that bridge. But he kept on fighting. After the death of many Spartans, Reach was about to be destroyed and was evacuated. He was involved in many battles before Reach, but there is not a large amount of information about them. Spartan-145 has two different kinds of helmets. The First one he is seen wearing is ODST. Later, he is seen wearing Mark V. The reason for this is unknown. Some say he was involved in a new ODST project before the covenant attacked.

[edit] Spartan-023
Background
Spartan-023 was based in Alpha Team 001, he was evacuated to the Redemption which had to jump into space randomly. When he arrived at the ring he and his team was sent onto it while the redemption quickly escaped to a near by planet. A small covenant attack team arrives and lands on halo while the redemption hides. He lost his team when exploring Halo. He was responsible for the destruction of a Covenant Fleet.

Background
Spartan-066 has known Spartan-145 for a long time, they trained together on reach. Spartan-066 was located in the area the Covenant attacked first. When they did attack he operated a scorpion tank, which was modified to shoot a cluster-style missile. He took out any air crafts in the area and his gunner stop the covenant from taking cover. He had to be recalled as the UNSC knew the planet was doomed so they took all the Spartans back onto the ships and escaped. His ship jump to another human controlled planet where they informed earth of the covenant attack.
Spartan 066 is in the 2nd Division platoon. Spartan 066 was always seen as a joker, but he is skilled in many ways. 066 has been along side 145 ever since they met at Reach, but some say that they trained together. Spartan 066 is well known for his laid back, chilled out attitude, he was very quick to pass through the ranks in the UNSC, some of 066 teachers said "he always goofed off when it came to tactical training", As a young man he was very fiery and angry, but that always proved useful in weapon training for his accuracy is better than most of the higher ranking Spartans, strangely, he was always fond of stealth and very good when it came to infiltrating. His accuracy with a sniper rifle helped, but his most famous fighting style was in your face with a shotgun or an assault rifle, later on in his years in the field he became one of the best pilot/driver the UNSC has ever seen and is rarely seen without a vehicle near him.

[edit] 2nd Division Platoon
Much like Spartan Group Omega, however, they depend much more on tactical approaches to battle instead of direct combat. The members in the group are:
- Spartan-145 - Group Leader/Ex-Spartan Group Omega member
- Spartan-062 - Intel/Co-ordination (Left to help with tech on Stalker)
- Spartan-171 - Pilot/Evac (K.I.A)
- Spartan-016 - Combat (Returned to ship for defence.)
- Spartan-023 - Combat (Returned to ship for defence.)
- Spartan-066 - Stealth/Combat (joined later than others, awaiting orders.)
However, at some points they split up, depending on how the situation is.
The current situation has left the group with only two members since the space battle required Spartans to fend off any boarding parties.
[edit] UNSC Redemption
The first ship in the UNSC to travel outside the rim. The Destroyer class ship is capable of stealth missions. It randomly jumped after Reach was glassed. It arrived at Halo and after deploying Spartans to the ground it had to retreat and activate its camo system to hide from the Covenant due to being outnumbered. It left the Spartans to fight. Spartan-023 met with the ship in a banshee which he stole and boarded the ship which left a beacon diverting any followers away from their destination. It is currently at Earth, securing the defences by transporting supplies to various locations. However it was sent back to halo armed with an army of marines to help the stalker at halo. It is currently taking damage and waiting for the surviving Spartans to return. It sent a small Spartan unit to halo and let the other marines defend the ship and engage in space conflict.
[edit] UNSC Stalker
The frigate class ship, is heavily equipped and has a modified MAC cannon. Better than any other ship in the UNSC fleet. It took The Spartans back to Halo and engaged in battle with the Covenant, which where already attacking their own ships, thus making it easier for the stalker to take out. It later called for back-up because of the covenant beginning to attack them. It is currently at Halo. Its Ship-commander is Captain-104. Not much is known about him. The redemption returned to halo so that it could help the stalker. Both ships together could destroy a covenant cruiser after a few shots of their MAC cannon.

[edit] Outer Shadow Productions
aranazza made his own Production sdudio. He named it Outer Shadow Productions since his clan was called (OS) or Outer Shadow. His team is rather small, but they work hard to produce well made movies.
[edit] Trivia
- During the original series of Rise of the Spartans, Spartan 145's nickname, Snake, was a reference to Outer Shadow.
- The new series will have references to the old series (Halo PC) which he and his clan members will notice.
- Rise of the Spartans was created first in late 2006.
- This is the first machinima aranazza has done using a capture card.
- The new rise of the Spartans includes subtitles instead of voices.
- Spartan-066, actor from the previous series on the Halo PC version, makes a appearance in the Halo 3 series and is one of the main characters.
- In Act 2, there is a fusion coil in the air, this is a reference to the PC version which the clan took part in. This is because in the original there was object in view which was not supposed to be there.
- The Malice Stories Production's video titled "Hitler Loves Machinima" contains many references not only to Rise of the Spartans, but also to Outer Shadow Clan itself. These references are very hateful, mainly due to the fact that Eden Bailey, the head of Malice Stories, has had several feuds with the head of Outer Shadow Productions.
