A/N: Hello everyone i wanted to explain Cerberus a little more to everyone cause they will have a major role in the story this is just a codex the real story does not begin for a little while i have yet to work out all the kinks for the story yet just wait i hope it will be good please review and tell me what you all think of the plot so far.

Cerberus the back bone of humanity what was once just a small organization in the Terran Union is now a force to be reckoned with they have more then enough forces as of right now to take on the entire martian defense force including the defense platforms and space fortress.

The leader of Cerberus nobody really knows his name besides the King of the Terran Union, Jack Harper code name Illusive man he is almost unstoppable his army is large and he continues to advance Cerberus and humanity as a whole he is apart of the political group called Terra Firma.

The group Terra Firma opposes Humanity cooperating with anything alien they think killing the aliens is in the best benefit of humanity oddly enough the majority of humanity agrees with only 17% of the population wanting to ally with aliens, The illusive man has bases all over Sol and many other bases in other human colonies such as Shanxi he has more then 15,000 troops stationed there reinforcing General Williams.

The illusive man also has a base called Tartarus it is equipped with the best technology money can buy this base has more defense platforms then earth and mars combine mostly because there are 2 relays connecting to the system which Tartarus resides in, The illusive man has been known for his cunning and firm stance on human dominance which many higher ups approve of he has a son and a daughter but no one has ever met them.

Cerberus also owns quite a few companies such as Cerberus Skunkworks, Jormangund Technology, Sirta Foundation, Kassa Fabrication, Aldrin Labs, Ariake Technologies, This is just a few of the many companies Cerberus owns it is also rumored Cerberus owns the Majority of stocks on Earth and Mars but there is no evidence of this yet.

Cerberus Technology-

Cerberus is the main supplier of technology for the Terran union ever since they bought out the majority of earth/mars companies, Cerberus makes the majority of ship parts, Shields, Weapons,etc they are truly the back bone of the Terran Union's Army.

Shields: Cerberus has extremely efficient shields capable of withstanding 5 plasma rounds and a total of 30 rail gun rounds the shield is a prototype called Excalibur shielding it has not been released yet and is still in its testing faze but it looks promising right now for the Terran Union and Cerberus forces (Cerberus also made the shields for the N7 Operatives).

Weapons: Cerberus has made multiple weapons in today such as the M-22 Eviscerator and the M-29 Incisor, Cerberus weapons use a sophisticated method of accelerated bullets that is very lethal when propelled at dangerous speeds most weapons used in the military today can do a lot of damage even with the best shielding.

Shipyards: Cerberus is also the main producer of ship yards producing more and more ships for both Cerberus and the Terran Union unlike the Terran Union Cerberus uses a odd method of shielding for the ship yards which makes it quite difficult to destroy the shipyard this was tested recently when Cerberus launched 3 nuclear war heads at a Shipyard not even leaving a scratch

Cerberus relations:

As of right now the current public relation with Cerberus is at a all time high Cerberus is the main producer of clothing on many colonies and even earth itself making highly fashionable clothing for humans and even for animals such as a dog or cat.

The current relation of the Terran union and Cerberus is as high as it could possibly ever be the King and The Illusive man have a great relationship with each other enough to even call each other brother the military of the Terran Union loves Cerberus "Thanks to Cerberus we have even better guns" said a local on mars.

The relationship with the colonies is above average it could be better even though Cerberus owns the majority of companies on the colonies the colonies believe Cerberus is up to something but besides that they have high opinions of Cerberus.
