In addition to the UNSC's efforts to unify the earth and humanity, Umbrella has also developed rapidly in the past four years.
The general changes of the company are as follows;
1 Satellite Colony.
Narration:
Satellite Colony is a huge cylindrical artificial celestial body with a diameter of approximately 14 kilometers and a length of 80 kilometers.
Construction started in the middle of 2011 and was completed at the end of the third quarter of 2014. It is now located at one of the Lagrange points of Luna.
It is one of the products obtained after Umbrella obtained all the Reaper technology and cracked it. It is also the largest object that humans can currently build.
The inner walls of Satellite Colony are equipped with gravity generators, which maintain an artificial gravity of 1G and are used to create a living environment similar to the earth.
Since Umbrella learned from data that the residents of the asteroid colony often complained about depression and restraint, the colony would adopt a semi-'open' mode.
Three super giant dome-made mirrors are embedded in the inner wall of the colony, which can introduce natural sunlight and simulate various weather conditions.
The interior of Satellite Colony is filled with air at 1 atmospheric pressure. The 'land' on the inner wall has mountains, rivers, lakes, animals and plants, establishing a complete ecosystem.
It can accommodate 15 to 20 million people, with an ultimate carrying capacity of 30 million people.
However, the time and cost of building a Satellite Colony was dozens of times that of an asteroid colony, so Umbrella terminated the continued development of this project.
However, Satellite Colony named 'Moon City' has become one of the iconic buildings that demonstrates Umbrella's strength.

2 Railgun Array.
Narration:
The shipboard electromagnetic Railgun performed extremely well when fighting the Reapers, and is the best weapon against Energy Shield.
Therefore, 'Railgun Array', a joint venture between Umbrella and UNSC, was constructed at the end of 2011.
Each planet is different in scale.
Like the earth.
Umbrella and the UNSC plan to build one hundred and forty Electromagnetic Accelerator Cannon space stations in the earth's low-Earth orbit to form an absolute protective network for the earth.
As of the beginning of 2015, a total of ninety-six space stations have been built, and 77 have been put into use.
It is expected that at the beginning of 2016, Earth's Railgun Array will be completely completed.
After that, Railgun alignment will also be used on Luna, Mars and Titan.
.
3 Space Containment Center.
Narration:
This project is supervised by Engineering Team, and Wang Zhaofeng is personally responsible for the construction.
Umbrella used captured asteroids to build the newest, largest and most comprehensive containment center outside the Schwarzschild radius of the black hole Cygnus X1 located in Eta Cygnus.
Completed in the third quarter of 2013.
To this end, the company established a special force specifically responsible for escorting Containment Object based on the three UBCS companies led by Captain Andrew Mike.
The unit name follows Captain Mike's original company name, Omega(Ω).
The general composition of Omega is as follows;
1. A Phoenix-class Aircraft Carrier with enhanced internal protection is used to transport the imprisoned Containment Object, and can jump from the earth to Containment Center six thousand light years away.
2. Four conventional heavy frigates.
Two ships remain at Containment Center.
The other two aircraft carriers are responsible for escorting the aircraft carrier to jointly jump to and from the earth and Containment Center.
3.Omega.
Omega was originally the personal guard of General Ostrovsky (Andre). It has rich experience in containment operations. The company commander is Captain Andrew Mike.
Since Space Containment Center was built, Andrew Mike's military rank was promoted to lieutenant colonel, and 1,200 of the most elite soldiers were selected from each UBCS company.
Its main responsibility is to guard Containment Center and handle any possible emergencies as soon as possible when the aircraft carrier is transporting Containment Object.
The main equipment is AAES3, Gauss, Plasma Weapon and thirty sets of Biochemical Power Armor equipped with AT Energy Shield.
.
4 Distant Colony.
Narration:
Near-Earth colonies are all within Solar System, such as Mars and Titan.
Distant Colony is a colony established by humans after they left Solar System on a large scale in star systems other than Solar System.
If a certain star system has Earth-like Planet with a less extreme environment, and Colony Fleet confirms that the planet does not have any threatening life, then Engineering Team will build Colony City similar to the 'Mars City' on this Earth-like Planet.
At the same time, Distant Colony also needs to mine raw materials for various minerals to support the continued development of Umbrella and the UNSC.
The nearest star systems to Solar System are as follows;
1.Alpha Centauri.
2. Barnard.
3.Wolf 359.
4.Bredichin 2147.
5.UV Ceti.
6.Sirius Binary.
7.Ross 154.
8.Ross 248.
9.Epsilon Eridani.
10.Ross 128.
.
Note: Colony Fleet found a Earth-like Planet in excellent environment in Epsilon Eridani.
The gravity is about 1.08G, the atmospheric pressure is about 1.24 Pascal, it has four seasons and a strong magnetic field, and the temperature ranges from minus 26°C to above zero 42°C.
At first, through observation through space telescopes, humans thought that this was just a 'Death Star' just like Venus.
The fact is that this planet has a lot of primitive animals and plants. According to official records, it is also the planet where humans first discovered the existence of extraterrestrial life.
However, the composition and proportion of the atmosphere are quite different from those on the earth. If humans are exposed for a long time without wearing protective clothing, they will be at risk of poisoning and being bitten by unknown mosquitoes.
In addition, the planet also has a large number of mineral resources, the most abundant of which is titanium.
Appendix file:
1.Nanite Serum.
Since Umbrella encountered the anomaly of 'The Thing', two doctors, Halsey and Rebecca, jointly developed it to better perfect and improve the original Nanite Serum.
While reducing costs and rejection reactions, it also increases the duration of maintenance, from the original 48 hours to one month.
All personnel involved in the colonization operation, whether they are Engineering Team, Marine Corps or ordinary colonists, need to be injected with this serum before Colony City is established.
Ordinary colonists need to purchase Nanite Serum by themselves.
Unit price: US$700.
2.Atmospheric Modification Device.
In view of the highly livable environment of Earth-like Planet, the Hive team initiated the research and development of atmospheric modification and prepared to transform it into an environment completely suitable for human habitation.
The project is still under development.
It is expected that Atmospheric Modification Device developed for this planetary environment will be completely completed by the middle of 2015.
.
After the company owner William Russell learned about the planet, he named it Reach.
And Umbrella is also preparing to make Reach a "strong town" for the company and the UNSC.
Use the abundant titanium resources to build a shipyard, increase the publicity of Reach, and dispatch four UNSC fleets to take care of the early safety of Reach.
{Reach comes from "Halo: Reach", its planetary location is really at Epsilon Eridani, and it is also the UNSC headquarters and shipbuilding base in the game.}
