Project 1713-165
Project 1713-165 was a secret programme initiated by the Benacian Union Defence Force in 1713 AN. The project aimed to create an enhanced cybernetic battlespace management system by surgically augmenting the visual cortexes of fourteen female test subjects.
The subjects were selected from schools in the Benacian Union and were taken to a secret facility where they were surgically augmented with optic nerves that could be directly connected to an electronic data feed. This allowed the subjects to receive information directly to their visual cortexes, effectively creating a cybernetic system for the management of battlespace.
The project was shrouded in secrecy, with only a select few individuals being aware of its existence. The subjects were kept in isolation and were not allowed any contact with the outside world. They were monitored constantly and were subjected to strict conditioning to ensure their compliance with the project.
The success of the project was mixed, with some of the subjects experiencing severe psychological effects from the constant stream of information to their visual cortexes. Others were able to adapt to the system and were able to effectively manage the flow of information.
Despite the success of the project, it was ultimately shut down due to concerns about the negative psychological effects on the subjects, and their long-term viability as a system. The surviving subjects were released from the facility and were assigned to the Women's Auxiliary Service for rehabilitation through service.
The information aggregation system created by the project was eventually integrated into the Panopticon Nexus, a massive surveillance network used by the Benacian Union to monitor and control its subjects. The legacy of Project 1713-165 remains controversial, with many viewing it as a further gross violation of human rights.
