Background and Biography
24 ABY, a year prior to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion...
Sernidipal was an impoverished world, lacking modern technology. It was one of many that would be targeted by the Yuuzhan Vong. It was the Silentium who had come to the world in quiet, and observing from afar. They made sure they were not seen.
Silentium, having exhausted their resources in a lost war with the Yuuzhan Vong, the machine species had fled their home-galaxy, and now encroached on the Unknown Regions. They infiltrated planets with their array of droids, but many of their society saw no interest in the affairs of the galaxy.
A sole Silentium thought otherwise. A singular machine among a group known only as The Rest. This powerful giant had come into knowledge of the impending Yuuzhan Vong Invasion, and drifting from his society, he plotted to shift the fate of a few.
The subroutine this Silentium designed that seeded the first consciousness of his own creation was lost to history, but it had started a catalyst. He forged the beings known as The Lost, tireless machines with the consciousness of a sentient being. They are not required to eat or sleep, nor do they breathe, but they reason and hold logic, and have intelligent thought.
They defended Sernidipal, utilizing advanced technology by the Silentium, but they were too few too late. The Yuuzhan Vong had gained victory, and destroyed the planet, the Lost were near extinction, and those they were designed to protect were almost eradicated from history.
Only a handful of Lost fled the planet, many of which suffered severe injuries. Missing limbs and integral components, they slowly fell into disrepair, malfunction, or entered the Eternal Sleep.
Eight hundred years since the war, many more have perished to malfunction and lack of repairs, and so few remain that in a galaxy so big, it is doubtful one would see another of their own ever again. They wander the stars, faced with the question; Who are we, and what is our place in this galaxy?
Taken from the history portion of the Lost submission.
Artemis was one of the few that lived. After the conclusion of the Yuuzhan Vong War, she wandered the galaxy, searching for any purpose. She watched the rise and fall of many factions in the galaxy, and became disillusioned with organics. She stayed out of any and all conflicts, preferring to explore the outskirts of space, where she would spend decades at a time on planets most never even know exist. During this time, she grew a desire for new knowledge and experiences, a desire she still maintains centuries later.
When the Gulag Plague hit, Artemis-09 did not know about it at first.
She was finishing a forty year stretch on Endor, thoroughly exploring it's forests. When she returned to the galaxy, she found it nearly empty. The Plague hit fast, but as a synthetic, Artemis was immune to it's effects. The galaxy lay silent, and once more Artemis found herself one of the last living beings.
Finding transportation to and from planets was near impossible. Artemis had to learn to repair and fly small ships, searching for any signs of friendly life, while struggling to find materials to keep her form functional. The few populations she encountered were very hostile, frequently attempting to dismantle her for parts. Artemis was forced to defend herself, once more staining her hands with sentient blood. For four hundred years, Artemis watched the galaxy struggle to recover from this apocalypse, helpless to do anything but keep herself alive.
Finally, at eight hundred years of age, Artemis-09 saw the galaxy begin to truly recover. Cautious but optimistic, Artemis allowed herself to return to society, a jaded veteran from a war long past. Though still avoiding most contact, Artemis decided to wait and watch this new galaxy form, to decide her place in it.
Personality and Traits
Strengths
(+) Artemis -09 was built for war, and though that conflict has long since passed, she is still a force to be reckoned with.
(+) Due to the extreme complexity of her inner workings, Artemis has been forced to become a very capable mechanic to keep herself functioning.
Weaknesses
(-) The complexity of the Lost means it is near-impossible for anyone other than Artemis and other Lost to do any sort of repairs on themselves.
(-) The Lost lack the ability to shut down and restart. If Artemis is deactivated for any reason, it is permanent.
(-) As a synthetic, Artemis is very susceptible to ion energy and EMP's.
