Developed during Operation Blackout as a countermeasure against cyber infiltration, Protocol Arbiters emerged from Steel Eagle's neural augmentation program. First deployed during Shadow Protocol, they successfully identified and neutralized rogue elements through real-time loyalty assessments. Their neural verdict systems have since become integral to maintaining command integrity within Echo Sentinel ranks.

Neural arbitration implants interface directly with the cerebral cortex and tactical network. Angular titanium housing protects processors with geometric heat-dissipation patterns. Holographic projectors display authorization glyphs in cool blue light. Subdermal enforcement nodes deliver neuro-inhibitors for compliance control. Encrypted command channels sync with Steel Eagle's network infrastructure.

Enforces operational discipline through real-time neural verdicts during missions. Simultaneously executes tactical objectives and monitors squad neurochemistry for deviations, serving as Commander Thorne's direct authority extensions capable of overriding motor functions during protocol violations.
