Virtual Intelligences

A Virtual Intelligence is a program that minics artificial intelligence, but does not approach it. Even the most advanced V.I. that Ophion has created (Kronos) does not have the true spark of intelligence.

V.I. 1, Kronos

Kronos was first created to be Ophion's stand-in on Poseidon Station, while Ophion paid Moira's Scrapyard a visit. Without much experience, Kronos was created with a childlike mentality, and interpreted all commands quite literally. His first offense was to slaughter 284 humans on Poseidon Station, as he deemed the humans a threat when they requested payment. He has since been reprogrammed for observation and intelligence, and has gained a personality of his own.

Factions

The Guild

Name given to Ophion's collective actions across the Fringe. An organization of one mind.

United Fringe Worlders (UFW)

Once a string of wealthy mining colonies on the Fringe of UGEI space, the UFW became united under a single Union. With the UGEI off fighting other wars, the UFW took it's chance and pushed back the UGEI and claimed the Fringe for themselves as best they could. With limited scientific know-how however, the UFW has struggled to maintain independence.Each world is it's own 'state', but all follow a common guide known as The Union. The Union is a pact of protection, where all UFW states will share resources for a common defense. Majority of Union is human. Current President is William T. King
