I joined Checkpoint Games, the developing team responsible for the Sins of the Prophets - Sins of the Solar Empire's famous Halo mod. I was contacted by Idio to join their concept team after I posted my version of the Halo SMG to their Discord channel.

​

When designing the rifle, I had to take note of the following:

​

1. It has to be stylistically different from the UNSC to distinguish the disparity in their power level

​

2. It has to use a weird, but functional, mechanism of sorts to push the idea of "otherness"

​

3. It has to be a large rifle, more powerful than the UNSC's standard battle and assault rifles.
