OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
  • Intent: To submit a fun character inspired control AI for the Wretched Hive, keeping the memory of ORC's formative years alive.
  • Image Source: Rogue One Character Poster, The Ship by RadoJavor
  • Canon Link: /
  • Primary Source: The Wretched Hive (workshop/starship)
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Command Protocols: Through a series of slave circuits Q controls every function of the Wretched Hive. He is for all intents and purposes the vessel's permanent caretaker.
  • Advanced Navigational Database: Q contains a repository of astro-cartographical data that is simply astonishing. Detailed notes from his creator on thousands of star systems are contained within the AIs memory core as well as many smuggler's routes which have yet to be charted by the galaxy at large.
  • Negotiation Subroutines: Not only is Q in charge of the ship, but he is also authorized to conduct business on behalf of the Merrill estate while no living Merrills are aboard. The AI is very knowledgeable on the subject of starships, modules, and innovative modifications.
  • Seven Dwarves: Seven modified astromech droids assist Q with any necessary repairs that thinking software can't troubleshoot on its own. The AI is able to take direct control of each and all at any time, but mostly leaves them to their own devices and treats them like squabbling children.
  • Party Mode: It is uncertain why Jorus programmed Q this way, but whenever the ship detects a solar flare the AI enters 'party mode', simulating the effects of intoxication and broadcasting distorted outer rim folk tunes on all decks and an open frequency.
  • Avengers Initiative: Whenever the Wretched Hive detects something that Q classifies as an 'extreme threat', it sends an automatic broadcast over the Underground ShadowNet.
STRENGTHS
  • Caretaker: Unless there is a living descendant of Jorus Merrill on board, Q is the de facto captain of the Wretched Hive. Specifically designed to automate both ship functions and his creator's old modification business, the AI is essentially a high functioning holographic storefront.
  • Thinking NavCom: Q doesn't get lost. He doesn't need directions. He knows every back route and smuggler's run from Wild Space to the Unknown Regions.
  • The Magnificent Seven: Q is able to assume direct control over a group of seven heavily modified astromech droids in order to carry out any physical repairs the starship might require over time.
WEAKNESSES
  • Hardwired: Q is built into the bones of the Wretched Hive, he cannot leave its confines or comprehend beyond its sensor range. One way or another the AI's fate is tied to his ship.
  • The One in the Middle: While his creator was a man of many opinions, Q doesn't take sides. Beyond alerting the Underground to any significant anomalies he comes across, the caretaker AI tries to avoid fights if he can and doesn't do favors for free.
  • Emergency Override: Located at the core of the ship on the AI's dedicated fusion reactor, Jorus installed a kill switch on the off chance anything were to ever go wrong. Nothing could go wrong though, right?
DESCRIPTION

No one really knows exactly what happened to Jorus Merrill. Some say he's dead, shot down in a cantina on Kal'Shebbol or took a one way trip through a black hole. Others say he is exploring the netherworld or Companion Esk. There are even a few who claim he unlocked the secrets of Gree hypergate technology and has finally gotten himself well and truly lost.

All we have left of him are the things he left behind, and at the top of that list is Q and the Wretched Hive. When Jorus first disappeared, no one expected to see his salvage vessel and outlaw tech base ever again. Then one day it simply reappeared over Subterrel, broadcasting an alert on the Underground ShadowNet. The first aboard were greeted by Q, who often introduces himself as 'Jorus' better half'.
