The Villengard algorithm managed the behaviour of Villengard Corporation equipment, such as the Villengard Automated Ambulance Units and the Villengard smartmines. During the conflict on Kastarion 3 the algorithm kept casualty rates to an acceptable standard, while minimizing the cost of treatment. By accepting some casualties as reasonable and letting Anglican Marines die rather than heal them, to minimize cost, the algorithm's actions led to the Anglican Marines believing that they were fighting a war against a hostile enemy, the Kastarions. This in turn set in motion a war of attrition against their own hardware, grinding themselves down just enough to keep themselves engaged, keep the combat ongoing, and keep the money flowing to Villengard.
