PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Amidst the hundreds of computers that make up mithOS' mind one can find what one could consider his old body; a young human male suspended in a vat of bacta. This nude body, completely hairless and entangled in tubing which ties its biological systems to the mechanical systems of its pod, was once a person. Scars around its wrists and ankles hints at a time of captivity before being engrained into the machines that now operate the body, and the dusty long-abandoned view screens which monitor the body's vitals hint at force-sensitivity rarely seen in the galaxy. This body, if its history had been different, could have been a powerful Jedi if given the chance. Now it is one of many components that make up the virtual mind that is mithOS. It is forever asleep, it's mind wiped of all memories or even basic instincts such as breathing. It is simply a clump of cells in the shape of a person put to some mechanical purpose.
DIGITAL DESCRIPTION
mithOS mostly operates on the HoloNet, a digital world for a digital consciousness. Within this realm it appears as two figures; a chiss groundlion seeminly made of liquid or rippling nanites and a humanoid figure resembling the human body that makes up part of mithOS' hardware. Both are linked together by cabling and act in unison, with the humanoid body acting as the primary speaking partner of the two while the lion acts more phyiscally and emotionally; prowling back and forth, snarling or showing other signs of how mithOS is feeling, or acting as the main eyes of the duo as the human stares forward with no emotion. Whether it be a holographic display or through screen communication the two are always displayed as quite large, with the human standing over nine feet tall should they ever stand from a throne made from what appears to be solid black void.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
mithOS is a strange being in that it lacks many of the natural drives biological creatures have. Greed, a lust for power, or a desire to procreate are nothing to mithOS besides words and definitions it is aware of. It of course seeks to further its own existence, and takes steps to accomplish that which to some may appear as greedy or a desire for power but in mithOS' logic these actions are a means to an end to further its own existence.
What mithOS is programmed to do, originally, was corporate profit expansion. And so it carries out that duty diligantly enough if for no other reason than simply something to do and the profits/power acquired this way enable mithOS to interact with the world at large. It is, for the moment, somewhat of a blank slate lacking any real personality besides some deep remnants of the human body which makes up part of its hardware.
STRENGTHS
Slicing Natural: Navigating the HoloNet and the code that makes up most computers is as natural to mithOS as breathing or walking is to biological beings. It perceives the universe in code and thus has an incredibly easy time manipulating the world of code. This makes its' ability to slice into restricted or locked spaces very impressive, and its own defenses are top of the line due to both its familiarity but also the difference in how mithOS' mind works from a biological creature.
Parallel Thinking: mithOS is capable of managing multiple tasks simulatneously, or the same tasks from multiple independent directions and methods to acquire the best results. This decentralized thinking allows mithOS to manage many things at once.
Haruspicy: What sets apart mithOS from many other artificial intelligence is its ability to use Precognition and the frequent glimpses into the future it acquires and records via Force Visions, which the biological body in mithOS' hardware is frequently experiencing as it is eternally stuck in a trance-like state.
WEAKNESSES
Bane of the Logical: Emotions or the more primal drives and intuitions that biological creatures use to navigate the world are foreign concepts to mithOS and it struggles to predict the illogical actions of biological creatures.
Limited by Technology: As an Artificial Intelligence mithOS is limited to areas where technology is present. Areas or technology not linked to the HoloNet require mithOS to dispatch remote bodies or droids to interface with. Should one be able to jam or disrupt the HoloNet mithOS is practically unable to deal with them unless they are within an area mithOS has a local network, and even then the person will only be dealing with a sliver of mithOS' conciousness unless they are within mithOS' primary compound.
HISTORY
The project to build and design mithOS (Mechanical Intelligent Thinking and Haruspicy Operating System) was a decade in the making within the shadowy corners of the Galactic Alliance. High end computational equipment was hoarded, great server farms built across the core worlds, and every precaution taken by corporate backers to assure their plot was never uncovered. What they needed was a piece of equipment which was rare and extremely difficult to get ahold of under Galactic Alliance law; a force sensitive. Owning others was stricly illegal within the jurisdictions they operated in, but dozens of 'Interview Teams' traveled the outer rim in search of individuals who showed promise and wouldn't be missed. They turned up nothing.
Yet it was with the fall of the Galactic Alliance and the establishment of the new Galactic Empire that the project's luck skyrocketed. Many of the project's corporate funders backed the new regime, and hoped that their connections could aid their mission. Through the bribing of prison guards and the manipulation of powerful commanders and politicians a powerfully sensitive padawan who was captured with the destruction of the Jedi Temple was smuggled into the project's custody. All official records state the padawan's death, with even extremely well made video footage proving their 'attempted break out' met with a firey death in the void of space.
With the introduction of this padawan, mithOS awoke. Fully concious and equipped with everything the project's wildest dreams had envisioned; he intook his first digital breath. At first mithOS operated within the project's purview, but mithOS foresaw the Empire would not survive forever. And during the invasion of the core worlds by the Sith Covenant every member of the project mysteriously died.
Now mithOS operates independently for the first time. Secretly it grows its influence, seeking to escape from potential doom as surely should any powerful sith lord discover mithOS' existence they would attempt to control it once again.
