However, Gerald himself thought that the name sounded "villainous". The name "Shadow" in particular was coined for the project due to the irony that a shadow could not be created, referencing the belief that immortality was impossible and working as a metaphor of "unreal things". There, all advanced research on the project was strictly confidential. As such, Gerald eventually accepted the request and agreed to lead the project on the Space Colony ARK, an orbiting facility isolated from earth. But then he realized that he could co-opt the program in order to find a cure for Neuro-Immune Deficiency Syndrome, an incurable and fatal disease afflicting his beloved granddaughter, Maria. Initially, Gerald refused, believing that they were crossing the limits that man should not tamper with and that they would use his research for war. The President personally requested Professor Gerald Robotnik, the most brilliant mind of his time, for assistance. Project Shadow was conceived over fifty years before the Black Arms' arrival on earth by the President of the United Federation at that time (thirteen presidents before the current one) under the premise of achieving "mankind's ultimate eternal dream: researching for immortality." However, the true intent for the project was to use the results to develop weapons of mass destruction. The project's legacy formed the basis for the events in the Space Colony ARK incident and the Black Arms incident a few decades later. However, the project was shut down by the military when it was deemed too dangerous, which indirectly resulted in the deaths of Gerald and Maria Robotnik.

The results of Project Shadow produced two creatures endowed with immortality: the prototype, named the Biolizard, and the final product, Shadow the Hedgehog. It was a medical and military research program conducted by the United Federation around fifty years ago with the aims of achieving immortality and creating a military weapon. Project Shadow ( プロジェクトシャドウ, Purojekuto Shadō ?), also known as Project Shadows, is an event that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. a top secret military weapon! The military shut down the research because they feared it!

Let's take a look at what my grandfather was working on.
