Anvil Initiative
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
- "An opportunity to train with Sangheili swordmasters? Sign me up."
- — Spartan Gabriel Thorne[1]
The Anvil Initiative is a cross-training and evaluation program of the UNSC Armed Forces' Spartan Operations, operated in collaboration with the Swords of Sanghelios. The Anvil Initiative provides Spartan-IVs an opportunity to directly interact and train with Sangheili warriors in both shared War Games and live exercises aboard ANVIL Station.[2] Anvil also tests hybrid technologies developed by the Office of Naval Intelligence, corporate partners, Sangheili artisan-armorers, and special research collaborations.[1] The program was established alongside Project CRUCIBLE, which aimed to create a joint Spartan-Sangheili task force to begin building a robust relationship between the two species'.[2]
The location of the Anvil Initiative and the details of its select participation are classified, and access is by invitation only.[1][3]
Production notes[edit]
Anvil Station served as the setting for the War Games simulations featured in the cancelled game Halo Online. The station was associated with the Anvil Initiative.[4]
