Project Static is a top-secret military initiative rumored to be funded by Yancy Halloway and the Obsidian Council. Its existence has never been officially acknowledged, but leaked documents from the Aethelgard Institute suggest it began shortly after The Great Dissonance.
The alleged goal of Project Static is to weaponize the time-locking effect observed in Sector 4. Scientists are reportedly trying to create "Stasis Grenades" containing concentrated Chronosite isotopes that can freeze an enemy battalion in a permanent moment of time.
Field tests are believed to be conducted in the remote southern deserts. Strange reports of soldiers vanishing into thin air, or sand dunes remaining perfectly still during windstorms, support these theories.
If Project Static succeeds, it would violate every treaty in the Interstellar Federation, likely leading to total war. Dr. Aris Thorne supposedly possesses the only mathematical proof that the project is impossible, leading to the Council's desperate search for him.
