User:Azecreth/GURKHA Program

The GURKHA Program was developed and run by the Imperial Nations Space Command in an alternate universe It was a program to develop genetically enhanced supersoldiers, and was run up until the collapse of the INSC.

Background
The first interest in bioenginering supersoldiers for combat came about as a result of the Interplanetary War. The UNSC fielded a couple dozen of them as the Friedens and Koslovics continued their drive on New York. However, their limited number meant that they were able to be overwhelmed, although they took dozens of soldiers with them.

Once the Friedens had finished defeating the Koslovics, they returned to this idea. Biologically enhanced soldiers, indoctrinsted to be totally loyal to the Frieden government, would be the perfect army, and police force. They initiated ther GURKHA program, named after the inhabitants of Nepal, who were not afraid to die, and were experts at stealth. The program was headed by Dr. Octavius Kain.
