| ==History==
| | The '''Tactical Autonomous Robotic Defense System'''<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', multiplayer level, ''[[Foundation (Level)|Foundation]]''</ref> was a [[United Nations Space Command]] project. |
| The Tactical Autonomous Robotic Defense System was tested in [[Industrial Zone 08]] of [[Chicago]], [[URNA]], on [[Earth]].{{Ref/Map|H2|Foundation}} However, with the rise of [[Human augmentation|augmentations]] in [[human]] soldiers, the project and its facility were deemed irrelevant. Eventually, the campus was later leveraged by the [[United Nations Space Command]] to be used as the basis of a [[War Games]] simulation. The site was given the [[War Games]] identifier of [[Foundation]], or '''Map_Set: 525-5'''.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | |

| ==Production notes== | | ==Trivia== |
| The ''[[Halo 2]]'' multiplayer map "[[Foundation]]" takes place at the Tactical Autonomous Robotic Defense System facility. Parts are stamped with the words "Abandon in Place", indicating the project's failure. The project abbreviated may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:TARDIS|TARDIS]] from ''[[Wikipedia:Doctor Who|Doctor Who]]''. | | *The systems can be seen in the level Foundation. You can see "Abandon in Place " written on them, hinting that it was a failed project. |
| | | *The acronym TARDS is an possible joke by Bungie, given that it sounds like an abbreviation of "retards" or the "TARDIS" from ''Doctor Who''. |
| ==List of appearances==
| | *TARDS's facility in Chicago may be a reference to the location of U.S. Robotics in the 2004 film [[Wikipedia:I, Robot (film)|''I, Robot'']]. |
