Graeme Devine, the lead writer of ''Halo Wars'', created a backstory for the Cyclops that is rife with continuity errors. This was made to provide narrative context for the game development team. However, Devine states on his blog that the background stories he created are "essentially fan fiction" and should not be regarded as canon.<ref>[http://www.graemedevine.com/graemedevine/Spirit_of_Fire/Entries/2009/2/23_Cyclops.html Graeme Devine's blog | Graeme Devine, the lead writer of ''Halo Wars'', created a backstory for the Cyclops that is rife with continuity errors.

The essay states that the Marine Corps designed the Cyclops as a shock infantry platform to combat the [[Insurrectionist]]s, and that the program competed with the "fledgling" [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]]. The Cyclops is said to have been removed from service after the initiation of the [[SPARTAN-III program]]. Canonically the Cyclops was originally produced as a support platform and the ODST had been in service for centuries. The SPARTAN-III program was top-secret and served an entirely different role from that of the Cyclops, so the activation of the Spartans would have no bearing on the platform's deployment. | The essay states that the Marine Corps designed the Cyclops as a shock infantry platform to combat the [[Insurrectionist]]s, and that the program competed with the "fledgling" [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]].
