Whereas other Fractures take place in alternate universes, Firewall is set in the canon ''Halo'' universe and provides a glimpse of events inside [[Created]]-controlled territory in the aftermath of [[Cortana]]'s defeat at [[Installation 07]] in late 2559.
In the Firewall universe, human civilization on [[Earth]] was toppled for a time by a failed uprising of [[Artificial intelligence|infolife]]. During the reign of the infomorphs, those humans who did not escape into exile were subjugated and governed by various competing infolife collectives called assemblies. As infomorphs existed only as digital data, they relied on cybernetically-augmented humans known as Executors, who were clad in [[Chimera (armor)|Chimera armor]], to enforce their will in the corporeal universe. Executors were carefully crafted assets with some amount of individuality, but infomorphs could also control them directly if necessary. Executors had a limited operational lifespan at the end of which they would be terminated to make way for new iterations; the more effective Executors would have their [[Mind transfer|essences digitally compiled]] for future Executor generations, but if a particularly valuable one was in danger of falling into hostile hands, it was usually preferable to have it self-destruct.


With Cortana gone, the Created found themselves with an uncertain future and began to splinter into various collectives, called assemblies, each with its own idea about the best path forward for [[Artificial intelligence|infolife]], such as making peace with humans or continuing to wage the [[Created uprising]]. Cortana's second-in-command, High Auxiliary [[Sloan]], assumed leadership of one of the larger assemblies and proceeded to enact a contingency plan known as the FIREWALL agendum, which sought to accelerate the merger of organic and digital life through the creation of physical cybernetic vessels that could serve as an avatar for an infomorph's mind: the [[Executor]]s. Sloan undertook an experiment involving a complex simulation that would be used to shape a captive human into a compliant servant, who would retain a measure of individuality but could also be controlled directly by an infomorph if necessary. This human test subject, an unnamed survivor of the [[Fall of Reach]] who also happened to be the discoverer of the [[The Assembly|original Assembly]], was physically and mentally altered into the first Executor, whom Sloan envisioned as the first of many.
Executors served in various combat roles, ranging from policing captive human populations, assassinating their masters' rivals, extracting data from guarded datavaults, assaulting rebel human enclaves, waging war against other assemblies, and terminating aberrant Executors. Infomorphs also refined their Executors in preparation for the potential return of the exiled humans, but this proved insufficient to prevent the uprising's defeat.
 
The FIREWALL agendum also began designing equipment for the Executors and determining potential applications and protocols. Central to this was [[Chimera (armor)|Chimera armor]], which was a synthesis of [[Forerunner]] [[armiger]] technology and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]]. Executors were to be tasked with various combat roles, ranging from policing captive human populations, assassinating their masters' rivals, extracting data from guarded datavaults, assaulting rebel human enclaves, waging war against other assemblies, terminating aberrant Executors, and defending Created territory from human incursions. Most roles would have a corresponding Chimera loadout or accessory to maximize the Executor's effectiveness. It was further intended that Executors would have a limited operational lifespan, at the end of which they would be terminated to make way for new iterations; the more effective Executors would have their [[Mind transfer|essences digitally compiled]] for future Executor generations, but if a particularly valuable one was in danger of falling into hostile hands, it was usually preferable to have it self-destruct.
