-The '''Tactical Autonomous Robotic Defense System''' was a [[United Nations Space Command]] project. TARDS was tested in [[Industrial Zone 08]] of [[Chicago]], on the planet of [[Earth]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', multiplayer level ''[[Foundation]]''</ref>

+==History==
+The Tactical Autonomous Robotic Defense System was tested in [[Industrial Zone 08]] of [[Chicago]], [[URNA]], on [[Earth]].<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', multiplayer map, "[[Foundation]]"</ref> However, with the rise of [[Human augmentation|augmentations]] in [[human]] soldiers, the project and its facility were deemed irrelevant. Eventually, the campus was later leveraged by the [[United Nations Space Command]] to be used as the basis of a [[War Games]] simulation.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
+The mother of [[Ava Lang]] was a leading engineer of Acheron Security who worked on projects for the Tactical Autonomous Robotic Defense System.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/thats-so-raven '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - That's So Raven'']</ref>
+==Production notes==
+The ''[[Halo 2]]'' multiplayer map "[[Foundation]]" takes place at the Tactical Autonomous Robotic Defense System facility. Parts are stamped with the words "Abandon in Place", indicating the project's failure. The project abbreviated may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:TARDIS|TARDIS]] from ''[[Wikipedia:Doctor Who|Doctor Who]]''.
-==Trivia==
-*On the system's remnant parts the player can see "Abandon in Place" written on them, hinting that it was a failed project.
-*The acronym TARDS is a possible joke by [[Bungie]], as that it sounds like an abbreviation of "retards", or a reference to the "TARDIS" from ''[[Wikipedia:Doctor Who|Doctor Who]]''.
-*TARDS's facility in Chicago may be a reference to the location of U.S. Robotics in the 2004 film [[Wikipedia:I, Robot (film)|''I, Robot'']].
