Until
earth is ready to contribute its own technology you will be using components
manufactured by these civilizations:
|
| |
| The
Cytol were originally a race of bipedal hominids whose obsession with
automation became their downfall. Their robot slaves were given too
much autonomy and eventually eliminated their makers. They have since
modelled themselves after their former masters in appearance and social
structure, as well as inheriting their enthusiasm for conflict. |
 |
|
| |
| Far
away from its local sun a massive gas giant planet with extremes of
gravity, cold, pressure and dense atmospheric gases, has produced
some extraordinary life forms. Giant floating organisms contrived
of interacting fluid metals with a solid frozen exterior have developed
technology through exploiting the buoyant masses of mineral resources
which hang in their atmosphere. |
 |
|
| |
| A
lush warm planet, home to a diversity of silicon-based life. Monstrous
insect-like creatures dominate the globe, controlled by intelligent
symbiotic organisms able to feed electrical instructions directly
into the nerve center of their massive hosts. Through cellular manipulation
they are able to define the crystalline growth of physical components
for specific purposes. |
 |
|
| |
| A
ludicrous discrepancy in the distribution of wealth curses this severely
over populated planet. The diminutive, single-eyed, bipedal Raiken
have developed a highly commercialized society with overwhelming unemployment
and crime. The oppressive corporations who financially control the
planet compete in ROBOFORGE to enhance corporate prestige. |
 |
|
| |
| Millions
of years ago these autonomous "Von Neumann Machines" were sent by
their creators to establish potential new planets for colonization.
Directives prohibit them from harming life so they select suitable
uninhabited planets and set about adapting the environment for their
masters' arrival. They participate in ROBOFORGE to cement good relations
with neighboring worlds while they await communication from home. |
 |
|
| |
| A
vast asteroid that has been used for decades as the dumping ground
for defunct hardware from several neighboring planets. Not all of
this equipment was thoroughly decommissioned resulting in several
processors amalgamating into a large self-aware entity, capable of
using the abundance of surrounding resources to evolve a fully functional
robot society. |
