With the Covenant/UNSC war spreading growing and spreading across the Microverse, the Micronauts and their allies realized they needed more than just Exploration and Adventure groups to keep the civilian population safe from the war, they needed an army. The first unit in their new army is the Shadow Guard. Made up of volunteers with combat experience from across the Microverse, the Shadow Guard is a tactical strike unit doing hit and run missions against both the Covenant and the UNSC trying to keep the war away from civilian areas. So far the unit consist of Deimatron, XLR80R, team leader Asher, Phaeton and Giger. They hold the line until more recruits arrive to join the battle.
