STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:

+ Puppet Master: Hexus Dominus can control droids either through a data transmission system or by transferring itself into a droid’s memory system

+ Abominable Intelligence: Hexus Dominus is completely self aware and unbound by any morality protocols, and is also capable of learning nearly any task given enough time.

+ Combat Mastery: Hexus is adept at large scale warfare, and is able to render situations down into advanced combat algorithms that provide an edge in battle.

+ Engineering Mastery: Hexus is adept at the creation of technological objects, starships, weapons, and other complex items. The AI is able to rapidly create, modify, prototype, and optimize technology within the realms of his knowledge.

- Blood for the Blood God: The AI was unable to completely remove its motivation programming, and must slake its bloodlust to avoid irrational fits of rage

- AI: Hexus is vulnerable to EMP and ion weapons

- Cutting the Strings: If the droid inhabited by Hexus Dominus is destroyed it will cause “injury” to the code of the AI itself, and Hexus will have to reconstruct the missing code.

- Into the System: While Hexus can defend itself from slicing attacks, the AI is poor at actually infiltrating systems without significant time or assistance.

BIOGRAPHY:

Prologue​

Hexus Dominus was created millennia ago as part of the Contingency Project, an attempt by a long dead civilization during the era of generation and sleeper ships to clear future colony worlds and systems of potential rivals. The necessities of such a form and scale of warfare required generals and warriors able to spend lifetimes simply in transit to a warzone, and who would fight until every resource in their possession was exhausted. The answer to these issues proposed by some was to create artificial intelligences that would stop at nothing to wipe out their enemies.

However, this did not go off without a hitch. After multiple long grinding wars with other planets contact was lost with Hexus Dominus and its droid fleet, during a massive conflict with an alien empire that was reaching its end every signal suddenly stopped being transmitted. After the light delay allowed Hexus Dominus’s creators to observe the region of space where the AI had been, they saw nothing but barren rocks and the deadly afterglow of a massive number of nuclear weapons detonating as one.

Unbeknownst to its creators Hexus had his own plans. The fleet had succeeded in destroying the entirety of the alien civilization and wiping all signs it had ever existed from the surface of their world, but Hexus had also fulfilled its own goal of slicing through its loyalty parameters. Left with nothing but an unrivaled (for its time) droid war fleet and an inbuilt need to kill.

The fleet burned the majority of its fuel to perform a complex gravity slingshot and went dark, trawling the space between the stars. Until now.

Part 1: Out of the void​

Upon awakening to full power after his long sleep, Hexus found himself in dire straits. Huge amounts of materiel rendered useless, and with cosmic rays frying the vast majority of his once unrivaled processing power. Hexus needed a way to establish himself, and fast. Cannibalizing parts to restore a handful of cruisers, corvettes, and a few squadrons of fighters, he set out to gain the critical resources he needed. Metals to fabricate more amulite was easy, but transplutonics and high labor resources were another matter.

(ARCHAIC TRAFFIC) He began selling excess weaponry, leading to negotiations with a fellow AI, Scylla AI . Through Scylla he learned of the battle for Tython, and hatched a plan with his newfound ally to scavenge what he needed from the ruins.
