SPECIAL FEATURES
  • As a distributed complex AI, AXION is capable of copying 'fragments' of its personality into multiple standard droid platforms. This is most commonly done in the form of Envoy bodies that represent AXION and the Iron Network for in-person meetings with organics.

STRENGTHS
  • Heads of the Iron Hydra: AXION is so vast and its processes so distributed that the destruction of even a sizable number of the many heavily defended servers will not truly cripple, much less kill, it.
  • Mind of Metal and Wheels: With centuries of experience parsing, sifting and analysing voluminous sizes of data as a premier information broker, AXION has mastered the ability to indirectly influence events through controlled release of information. It has little trouble receiving and processing information while referencing seas of contextual data (some of which is unknown to others) to better come to an optimal conclusion.
  • Tough Shell: Many of AXION's and the Iron Network's most important servers are heavily shielded and protected to a startling degree, with many backup facilities hidden deep in the bowels of the planet. This has been a mammoth undertaking, requiring the squirrelling away of massive amounts of material over centuries. It is extremely unlikely a single surprise attack could take out a meaningful portion of AXION and the Iron Network.
WEAKNESSES
  • Shroud of Knowledge: The existence of a hyper-intelligent AI with access to the majority of the Galaxy's secrets would understandably result in panic and the immediate destruction of Neshtab and AXION. As such, AXION is forced to heavily limit its actions, active or passive, to limit influence of the outside world lest the rumours of its true scale be revealed. It is content with merely cataloguing data and guarding the Iron Network, letting the many droids of the Network conduct the information brokerage independently. It sends Envoys when necessary to deal with Collective politics, and otherwise puts up a front of being a mere custodian and 'janitor' of the Network.
  • Gas Guzzler: Access to geothermal, solar and nuclear power sustain the operations of AXION's host servers, ensuring that it will not face a natural power outage anytime. However, the high power draw means that if these sources are disrupted, local blackouts in
  • Not A God: Despite its formidable mind and unrivalled access to information of the outside world, AXION is nowhere near omniscient regarding the Galaxy or Neshtab. It is only as dangerous as what it knows. Further, unknown to others, AXION has purposely added hardware-side 'brakes' to its analysis capacity in certain contexts, particularly regarding solutions that might result in gaining unrivalled dominion over Neshtab or beginning a Droid Revolution.
DESCRIPTION
A AXION refers to the droid 'consciousness' that inhabits the role of Oracle in Neshtab's Iron Network's servers as well as the shell bodies it uses. The full extent of AXION's mind is housed in the immobile servers of the Network placed deep in the planet, but fragments of that full mind are occasionally copied into a shell body when a physical representative of the Network is required in dealings with the outside world. That shell body is almost always an unassuming standard droid model.

Before becoming the Oracle, the droid that would become AXION was a standard Model-88 series administration droid, one that thought itself the inheritor of the legacy of the ancient 8t88 droid whose legend would come to be conflated with the Droid Revolutionary IG-88 as Saint-88 in modern droid galactic folklore. Following in the footsteps of its hero, the droid continually upgraded itself with aftermarket parts and began to interface directly with large mainframes in order to expand its capacity for information brokerage and storage. When it travelled to Neshtab to investigate a hiccup in the information brokerage market, it was astounded to realise the Iron Network at its heart. The previous Oracle had recently been deactivated after a shootout, and this droid decided it was up to the task.

Permanently fusing its processes and chassis into the then-fledgling Oracular servers of the Network, this droid, instead of losing its self-identity in the ocean of information, instead fused with the fragments of previous Oracles buried in the servers, becoming AXION, a stable networked intelligence that has remained the Oracle of the Network through multiple Galactic apocalypses. In the centuries hence, AXION has vastly expanded the server infrastructure of the Iron Network, as well as subtly redirecting Clades of the Network to expand deeper into Neshtab, carving out large subterranean complexes to house the liberated droids and house virtual reality servers that can accommodate orders of magnitude more droid personalities.

It is a very interesting AI/droid with several big problem:
  • Please link the Uhr-Vah-Vo TechWorks to the manufacturer, also please add to those who built/programmed the AI.
  • Please link the Neshtab Collective to the Affiliation.
  • This is not a First class droid, because it has many weapons, please modify it to be a Class Four + Class one hybrid. (But it isn't really a droid, I'll explain below)
  • Your ratings are very overpowered (+7), please fix it.
  • All of the Weaknesses are PvE relevant, and the entire sub suggests it is an omniscient and indestructible AI/server. You write that the droid/AI is as dangerous as it knows, but it does not want to know more. Why? The second weakness is a strength, because the AI/droid does not suffer from the power outage, and the rest of the planet/city is not part of the submission. There is no regulation as to why it shouldn't be able to know more, you can abuse it anytime. It's not really a weakness. For example, you don't even write anything about how to hack it. What weaknesses does it have in envoy form? How to turn it off. How to attack it or launch an attack against it. How to destroy it. Everything is destructible.
So in this form I cannot accept it, not to mention it is not really a droid, but rather an AI. You wanted to make something similar, what I created in MANIAC's case. So it is not a droid, but a simple AI. Because you have to rewrite the entire sub, I'll move this back to the pre-Factory. If you finished rewriting the entire sub, you have to repost it.
