"Shield boards are quite useful, don't get me wrong... But tell me, would you rather train on a board that shows you the target or would you rather train against an actual competitor? With these droids, the UNSC will not only learn to fight better, but also learn to survive far longer than their current training permits."

The Renegade Cybernetics is a company which develops and manufactures training drones for UNSC personnel. Each new Renegade series droid has a unique adaptation to it. With the parent corporation; the Shield Corporation, the Renegade Cybernetics was never out of reach.

"Every soldier trains for combat using drones to perfect his targeting skills. But what if the drone was smarter, stronger, and you were the target?"

The Renegade Cybernetics is located on the ice giant: Tanis. Multiple stations are used as the manufacturing centers for the droids which are best built in cold weather climates.

MK.1 Renegade
The MK.1 Renegade was a favorite among UNSC personnel for its human-like behavior. It was a bit slower than a human was, and more bulkier. But its tactics were highly advanced and made it a walking tank so to speak. Close combat was rarely used against the MK.1 as the marines found out is was suicide in the training sim. The MK.1 carried every UNSC laser designated weapon, and could quickly change from a battle rifle to a shotgun in a matter of half a second. While this quickness was not possible for enemies of the UNSC, the marines thought it necessary to make them faster.

MK.2 Renegade
The MK.2 Renegade was faster than its predecessor movement wise, but lacked the half second weapon exchange. The MK.2 became famous for its surprise attack capability. Its programming was focused on recon rather than brute force the MK.1 was programmed for. UNSC sniper teams fell in love with this droid as it improved the headshot rating two fold. The marines also felt the MK.2 acted more like covenant forces than human opponents.

MK.3 Renegade
The MK.3 Renegade was dubbed the best in the series for its team based training systems. It was programmed with multiple racial tactics making it seem like it was truly alive. The MK.3 tested several times in the sim, and after multiple success ratings, was tested against a live active Scarab tank. The quick success against the Scarab made UNSC officials begin thinking about live combat droids in the field. The MK.3 is the most renowned training droid available.

Renegade Cybernetics Changed
The UNSC and ONI produced a contract in which the Renegade Cybernetics was to be a manufacturer of military war droids that would fight beside UNSC marines. The MK.3 was th first to be introduced as a full war machine. It kept track of everything it did from the amount of kills to the nearest weapon available. Many marines said they couldn't remember what it was like to fight without a droid, since the droid filled the position of a marine anyway.

Renegade MK.4 Combat Series
The MK.4 was a war machine all its own. It had faster processing than the older versions and higher kill rates. The MK.4 was meant to be a good if not better than the Machina, but that always seemed to be just out of reach. The MK.4 is a rare sight as the production of these machines are much more difficult with all the new technology it is designed upon. The effectiveness of the Mk.4 was seen by marines as an extra tank in a small space.

Renegade MK.5 Combat Series
The MK.5 is the newest and most dangerous of the Renegade series droids. It has a far denser allow than all its predecessors combined. It's faster, stronger, all out better than the previous ones. It is equipped with a learning capacity unparalleled by droids anywhere. Some say it is even better than a smart AI. One programmer thought it would be interesting to have his creation contemplate the meaning of life. Three days and 76 bodies later the automaton still lacked an answer, but had gained extensive knowledge of brute physiology.
