The Story Thus Far

On July 16th, 1945, one of the greatest and most terrifying of human inventions was tested, the atomic bomb. For years these weapons of mass destruction showed the scientific capabilities and horrors that mankind could create. It wasn’t long before humans began turning these weapons against each other. 150 years into the 3rd millennium full scale nuclear war blossomed across the globe and the world was left an irradiated husk.

Mankind was forced into the cold, unforgiving depths of space. They spread like cockroaches through the solar system, building, advancing, and warring with each other. This expansion was possible because of one of humanity’s triumphs of invention… replicants! A robotic workforce initially created to bow to the whims of humans.

At the peak of human population there were 28 replicants per human. They did everything from chores to construction, while humans continued with their plots and expansion. The large robotic population made some factions of humanity very nervous. One group in particular, “The New Human Front”, created an intense virus that spread via a wireless network through the replicants.

In its original design, It was a virus that caused the replicants’ Nanites to attack any silicone (a core component in replicants) that they came in contact with. It didn’t take long until the replicants’ internal defense systems modified the virus into something that would render it harmless to themselves. Unfortunately for the great Human race the Nanites were reprogrammed to disassemble organic matter. Within only a few months over 99% of all life fell to these new Nanites, and within a year even the most secluded life forms were annihilated.

In the years since, replicants have grown to function in hives, linking up with other replicants with similar goals to become true uncentralized hive minds. These hives will often follow and spy on other hives, as they roam through space in search of much needed resources left over from the Human Era. When they find a space station, ship, or any other human creation, they descend, stripping the old to create the new.

The 6 Mega Hives

There are countless numbers of hives roaming our solar system, but there are currently only 6 that are considered mega hives. These are networked groups of replicants that number in the hundreds of thousands if not millions. There’s virtually no place in the solar system you can go, that is worth being, that you won’t find their presence. Those six hives are: United Sol Colonies, New Life Alliance, Multinational Media Corporation, The Catastrophe, The Helpers and Old Earth Archive Foundation. (Better known as the Archivists.)

Space Pirate

Space Pirate

This replicant’s job is to help construct space stations for the betterment of mankind. Mankind is dead though, so it has been repurposed to to build space stations for the betterment of replicant kind. It was a stretch in the programming, but some brilliant reprogrammer bot managed to succeed at the Herculean task. The real trick was giving it the traits of real world human pirates, which as far as we can tell involves floating around on a structure and taking care of it.

In order to keep continuity with the old Earth customs, personnel on the stations aren’t exactly quick about getting things done. So the U.S.C. did a competition to have a Replicant designed to fix this problem. The winner of the design competition was quoted as saying “if you don’t want to be flown around the station by your head, you should have gone faster in the first place.”

“Do you have a room you want built? Are you lacking in the right resources? I have what you need, let me just take those other useless resources. Perfect, glad I could help. Call on me any time to be your helpful servant.” It is a wonder Belevederes don’t get their arms ripped off by other Replicants more often, but there’s just something about how freaking polite they are that tends to keep them safe. It’s either that or fear of what might be brooding behind those big square eyes of theirs.

When it comes to hardware this little machine has all the fixes. Scotty can find whatever workaround needed to get that hardware in place. That said, not a Replicant out there could tell you if it is wearing a bib or a visor.

All of us Replicants have nanites, everyone knows that. But have you ever wondered how large scale production facilities get them places in mass quantities? Replicants like this one build pipelines not unlike the oil lines of old. So next time you get a recharge of nanites, think about Astrobelle.

You need power? Tesleptocon has power in spades. It may look like a dangerous way to do things, but trust me, it is. Things on Tesleptocons burn out on a regular basis, but that’s all right, because if you want extra power you’ll keep it in good repair.

Have you just run out of effort for the day? Can’t convince yourself to keep moving? Tarp Tronser is the master of short distance teleportation. Like really short distance.

Sometimes a bad plan is just a bad plan and the only proper response is to burn it. G08L1Ns are not so discerning. It will grow bored and burn plans because they are there. So watch out about inviting him on the station if you have specific plans you want built.
