- Culture: Without the need for food or sleep, virtually most of their time is spent working on what they need to, depending on their career choice. Though, they do enjoy sharing memories with one another, allowing them to see the galaxy from another Integerus. This allows them to have a bond with one another, seeing they can understand. Otherwise, they're spending their time finding a good planet they can begin to live on.
Seeing they don't inhabit a world, they work from a starship called the Durasteel Storm, where they meet once a month to discuss galactic issues and their missions. Transferring memories to one another, they'll than decide what course they should take. Instead of a command structure or leadership model, each Interegus has an equal vote, making it a democracy.
The Interegus have a deep interest in history, holding trillions of files and scrolls on the ship, allowing them to study and learn. They do this because they believe it's the key to understanding the mistakes of the past and possibly rooting out the fear and hatred of machines by doing what they can to help others. Some Integerus will spend months at a time alone, reading and writing.
They also hold several areas on the ship for training, honing their skills in the Force. This is a good way for new Integerus to understand the Force before they go out into the Galaxy. Mainly, the basics are taught, but different specializations can be learned if wanted. They want to know what the Galaxy has to offer them, and in return, they want to show what they can offer to the Galaxy.
Interestingly enough, the one thing they do for fun when they have downtime is to play Dejarik, holochess and other games that require strategy. It allows them to unwind, so to speak, from the daily stress of their missions. Though, it also allows them to see different possibilities they can use if they ever have to go in battle.
- Technology level: Type II civilization - extracts fusion energy, information, and raw-materials from multiple solar systems; its capable of interplanetary spaceflight, interplanetary communication, stellar engineering, and star cluster-scale influence; the resulting proliferation and diversification would theoretically eliminate the probability of extinction.
The Interegus are extremely advanced, being able to build machines and weapons with ease. Due to their Force-sensitivity and Rodo Mass' knowledge, they have begun to build lightsabers for their species. While it's coming at a slow pace, their real technological prowess is being able to hack into any machine, be a simple computer or a warship, turning it over to them. When it does happen, they rebuild the object to their standards, making it harder to destroy.
Their ships are guided by holoscreens, allowing them to take out windows. Also, seeing as they're non-organic, their ships are all modified so that the the gravitational effects of sudden maneuvers can allow a ship’s inertial compensators to be disabled, allowing the Interegus to perform such extreme aerobatics that would otherwise kill an organic pilot.
Due to their interest in the Galaxy, the Interegus have expanded upon the idea of space probes by creating their own type, which allows them to not just see and report back on locations they've visited, but to also land on a planet, deploying a set of microscopic machines that will study the planet both on the surface and beneath it, seeing what it has to offer. The Interegus have also sent probes outside of the Galaxy, hoping to meet aliens that might exist in the other galaxies.
- General behavior: Peaceful unless attacked. They don't wish for a war, but they're not willing to just take a hit and do nothing about it. They will defend their selves and each other if they have to. They tend to be more quiet than what one would expect from a droid, but this is due to them not wanting to draw attention to themselves.
If given a chance, some Interegus may go into long winded historical conversations, speaking about important galactic events and the achievements that droids have made. It's not boasting as it's really just a deep interest they wish for others to know. It can irritate other people if they don't know the Integerus too well.
When with one another, the Interegus like to share memories and than speak of the experiences they have. They consider this a deep bond, giving them a connection to one another. They consider this an important trait of their species, seeing
- History: 600 ABY: Rodo Mass, the first droid to ever become Force-sensitive due to placing a shard of the Kaiburr crystal within his body, begins to see that it's a gift he's been given. Stepping away from the Jedi, he begins to experiment to see if it's possible to create more droids like himself. Spending a hundred years in solitude, he finally learns how to infuse the electrical programming of a droid to be able to use the Force. Looking at the Force-sensitive stones that inhabit the home world of Qui-Gon Jinn to see how non-organic objects could use the Force. It was here that
700 ABY: Creating the first of the Interegus, Rodo begins to teach him how to use the Force, and what it's meant for. At this point, no one in the Galaxy yet knows that this has happened. As the basics are mastered, Rodo takes the first creation to Ossus to learn Jedi history where they come in contact with the Sith. Knowing now that there are droids who can use the Force, the Sith Council begins to look at attacking them and possibly capturing them to use for their own purposes. Rodo Mass begins preparations to stop them, as he and the first Integerus start to build more.
710 ABY: Coming ten years later, the Sith launch an attack against the Integerus, which number about 500. Battling on the planet of Ossus, a deadly battle ensued where the Sith began to use EMP attacks, hoping to disable the droids for a short time. Believing this might happen, the Integerus protect themselves by devising up a shield to protect themselves. Within a few hours, the Sith are beaten back. Knowing they wouldn't be safe on Ossus any longer, Rodo and the Integerus decide to split up across the Galaxy, keeping in touch through their comm channels.
Current Time: Since the Battle of Ossus, no attacks have happened, and the Integerus now number over 5,000 in total. Rodo Mass, knowing they'll be safe, eventually decided it's time to rejoin the Jedi and announce the new species to the Galaxy.
- Notable Player-Characters: Rodo Mass
- Intent: Seeing as how I created Rodo Mass before I came here as a Force-sensitive droid, something that hasn't happened before, I was told to come to create a species for him, seeing as how there isn't any Force droids in the Galaxy. This is not a God-modding character in build, but one that I think would be interesting to see.
