In another Origin Systems' game, "", an article came bundled with the release of the game providing details on the unveiling of a confidential research endeavor known as Project: SHODAN from the Cybernetics Cartel in Chicago. The article describes Project: SHODAN as "a program that's not only capable of human-like thought and emotion, but that also far surpasses human intelligence levels" and includes an image similar to SHODAN's appearance in the first game. However, despite a reference to the origins of SHODAN, "Crusader: No Remorse" takes place nearly 120 years after the events of "System Shock".
