Humanity's Shield

Following the hostile invasion of the Dusk in 397 AE, the Emperor began this program as a means of keeping his citizen's safe and defending against Dusk Infection. Humanity's shield had a number of protocols that changed life in the Empire forever.

The Second Mandatory Human Advancement Protocol
While the first Mandatory Human Advancement project was relatively subtle and unknown, this protocol began notoriously as all citizens were required by law to report to their magistrate's palace within 30 days and receive gene-therapy. The process was uniquely painful and many citizens refused the procedure. This protocol was later amended to allow Garrison troops to make arrests on those who failed to report, and thousands of citizens were dragged to their palace and thrown in gene-therapy vats to complete the protocol.

The only modified gene in this protocol added the ADWB Cells present in all modern humans today. This gene did, however, cause many complications throughout the Empire for the next few years. The cells at that time were not what they are today, and some people experienced pain and organ failure as the cells malfunctioned.

The Advancement of Anti-Dusk Activities Protocol

This protocol primarily established the Anti-Dusk Division of the Imperial army. It also set up the Dusk detection checkpoints now common throughout the Empire.

However, this protocol became controversial as it allowed Garrison troops to confiscated and search goods or private residences believed to be infected with Dusk.

The Anti-Infection and Protection Protocol

This protocol was purely legal and established new rules for martial law and Dusk checkpoint activities. Most importantly, it allows the Anti-Dusk Division to execute anyone with Dusk in their bloodstream at the moment of detection. It also allows for the on-site execution of people in possession of Dusk, Dusk creatures, or any infectious material.
