The Magnus Program

Description
Backed by the United Nations as part of the DFiN led Response Initiative, the very much confidential, deep human experiment, was organized by top researchers and astrophysicists that were hand selected from off-world moons and Stations.

Professional men and woman ranging from engineers, chemists and technicians gathered in secrecy to carry out the unimaginable. To achieve this scientific milestone, only a select few of the most gifted minds throughout the solar system was recruited. For many of them, this meant abandoning their home planet or station and loved ones.

Background
The program began with Engineers successfully synthesizing the Singularity Core from a decaying Proton Star called Magnus; the first discovered of its kind. With mankind accelerating in the science behind Magna, the development of a sophisticated war device was in high demand after the crushing attack on an off-world territory, named Prominence.

Damian Foster was recruited or "chosen", as candidate prime and underwent the augmentation successfully. Lt. Commander Niles, served as Mission Oversight for the program and oversaw the entire undertaking, a majority of which took place onboard his DFiN Orbital Scout Ship the 0221.

The Program advanced to its second phase and actual purpose when a council of UN Delegates sanctioned the DFiN led assignment, code named: Operation Hard Drive.
