Covenant Security Dossier #11432a.1 [TaskForce66]
Reports confirm that TaskForce66 is affiliated with hostile organizations in the Tripartite Global Federation. At the time of this investigation, the purpose of this new paramilitary group is unspecified. There are two possible conclusions:
- To sow further chaos across the hot-zones.
- To probe an emerging frontier and instigate another attack vector.
Covenant Security Dossier #20354b.4 [Cybernetic Liberation Front]
The dynamics of regional conflicts dictate that a fully-autonomous unit can operate endlessly. These armies, under the supervision of military-grade super computers, capture and retake territory accordingly. Decades of historical strategies and simulated war planning underline how fundamental it is to the learning algorithms it develops in advancing its capabilities.
In comparison, prior conflicts were fought with cybernetic humans and mechanical armaments such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Even with the advent of robotic warfare, human personnel such as drone operators, specialized maintenance workers, and cybersecurity teams remain. Other accounts indicate that humans play a marginal role in escalating battles, particularly through private military contractors (PMCs) in mercenary and operational-security sectors. This diffusion of knowledge has resulted in divulging many confidential military secrets, often aiding our enemies in the process.
The view that veterans are obsolete by this era's standards due in part by advanced robotics. With the risk of furthering political divisions in how to handle the ever-growing tensions between robots, cyborgs, and humans present complex social issues. One such result involves the formation of coalitions between cybernetic humans and like-minded sympathizers. These movements resonate with individuals that are in vocal opposition against the Grand Alliance's supposed disregard for human soldiers and veterans.
Covenant Security Dossier #41387f.2 [Heliostasis Corporation]
Categorized as a protected corporation under Covenant authority, Heliostasis Corporation is the industry leader tech firm focused on advanced robotics, notably integrating artificial intelligence. Their subsidiary, Heliostasis Labs, primarily manufactures and distributes an array of wet-ware cybernetics to various market spaces. These emerging technologies have had far-reaching impacts on humanity such as furthering research on the human condition.
However, it has come to our attention that a whistleblower has contacted us attesting to unethical practices within the corporation. As most of the information is still under audit, our investigation has been put on hold. Further directives from management are pending review.
