Fiction:Brood of War/Shadow Institute

The Shadow Institute is a sub-organization within the whose actions and purpose are kept away from public attention, although it is known by the Brood public that they exist. The Shadow Institute exists as a manufacturer of supersoldiers and experimental weaponry, designed to evolve the Brood technologically through otherwise forbidden sciences that disobey the values of honour and tradition. The Shadow Institute operates exclusively outside of Brood territory so as to not run the risk of accidental discovery from the Brood's public. They do not assist any other Brood sub-organization intentionally and only send units if required, which usually either involves the collection of information or an assassination, if not both. They possess access to highly advanced combat-ready technology which has not yet been deemed for public or standard military usage and all members are sworn to an oath to uphold the secrets of their identity, organization and existence.

The Shadow Institute holds disdain towards Section IV, the Brood of War's official enforcement and police organization. This is due to Section IV's fundamentalistic belief in that the physical form should be kept pure and modelled by war rather than modified through artificial means, while the Shadow Institute holds progression and advancement high in their organization's culture.
