Loosely based within the world of the Halo video games, Guard Duty centers on the dysfunctional low level soldiers stationed on Outpost Black Out in the distant future of 2560.
Rat's Nest is an upcoming prequel installment to the Guard Duty series. It will air sometime after Season 1 in 2024.
Trivia
The entire cast from Classic Season 2 reprise their roles for this series, while Winter and Firesinopa from Classic Season 1 have been cast as Eleanor Winkler and Felicity Benes respectively.
Unlike Classic, in which Syp The Mighty primarily wrote by herself, Revoltge has co-written every episode of this series and Rat's Nest.
While obviously non-canonical to the Halo video games as a fan work, Guard Duty seems to occur sometime after the events of Halo 4 whilst being filmed within the Halo 3 engine.
