Project Renegade

== Overview ==
Project Renegade was a military-science project undertaken by Sovereign Security Services, with the aim of producing cheap, expendable super soldiers without the need for risky, expensive augmentations.
The success of the project is subject to some debate amongst the higher-ups in Sovereign; whilst the project did succeed in its aim of developing augmentation-free soldiers of comparable power to things like SPARTANs, the Renegades are not cheap.
== Origin ==
Renegade began when Sovereign saw the need for an equaliser; to level the playing field against rivals fielding larger numbers and more expensive vehicles.
Sovereign R&D was put to work searching for alternatives to expensive biochemical and physical augmentations. Chief Scientist, Dr. Evelyn Vertasky, made the major breakthrough of the project: the discovery of Regenerative Protein D. The use of RP-D allowed the researchers to widen the scope of their search into previously-dangerous territory - Rumbledrugs and dangerous combat stimulants.
== Outcome ==
The project succeeded in its aim, broadly speaking. A cocktail combining combat drugs and RP-D, to be injected into the bloodstream, that enabled the user to perform superhuman feats of strength, speed, and endurance, whilst also allowing them to survive said feats.
Unfortunately, the newly produced Renegades are hard to maintain, as the cocktail is expensive to produce. The majority of the cost comes from difficulty synthesising RP-D, along with difficulty procuring the material for two of the Rumbledrugs in the cocktail.
== Effects on Subjects ==
The cocktail combination produces very prevalent effects in those injected. The primary improvements are as follows:
* Heavily improved strength
* Heavily improved reaction times
* Heavily improved focus
* Heavily improved endurance
* Lightly improved speed
* Lightly improved durability
* Complete pain immunity
Overall, the soldier becomes, quite simply, a more effective fighter. They can fight for longer, through worse conditions, ignoring certain wounds. Notably, it also allows the soldiers to focus on their objectives more clearly.Category:Biological augmentation programs
