Human Preservation Project

The Human Preservation Project is a UEG-sponsored humanitarian movement which aims to alleviate human suffering and provide relief in times of conflict and disaster. Founded four years before the end of the Human-Covenant War, the HPP was initially conceived as a means of extending aid to humans of every origin and allegiance, and focused on administering care to refugees and survivors from the Outer Colonies. Though the HPP has endured scrutiny from the UNSC due to its lack of discrimination between loyalist and rebel recipients, it continues to deliver aid to humans in need regardless of affiliation. Its influence extends across human-inhabited space, from the relative safety of the Inner Colonies to the ravaged, war-torn frontier. HPP workers are known for their intrepid forays into dangerous areas and their refusal to back down from providing aid to those in need, even in the midst of armed conflict. Reflecting its expeditionary nature, the HPP is virtually unknown on Earth but the most-recognized humanitarian organization in the colonies, even though other organizations such as the Interstellar Red Cross have been active for centuries. Its motto, For the Soul of our Species, embodies the basic tenet of HPP efforts: to demonstrate humankind's best qualities, compassion and generosity, even in the face of humanity's worst excesses of degradation.
