Race : Core Collective
Shipset used : Rage Collective

Biology description
Advanced artificial intelligent systems. These are fragile pieces of machinery, designed and engineered on the purpose of being an autonomous war system. The standard system is usually stored in a small robot 30cm tall, and is based on organic nano-processor technology. The Core was designed to create and support weapon systems, and self replication seems to have been set on very low priority (intended fail-safe ?) . Due to a limited control on time wave, Core can stay idle for eons while avoiding decay.

Society description
This is a collective intelligence, no ruler as such, but aggregated nodes using shared knowledge databases. These nodes will take leadership on subjects fitting their specialization and will direct work accordingly. If a node is destroyed, another node will setup and connect to a replicated shared database to resume work with almost no data loss. On a design point of view, reliability and redundancies are Core's trademarks. All of their systems are intended to support enormous punishment while staying functional. Of course notions such as beauty, esthetics, arts are alien to Core nodes. Then, massive redundancies and data replication implies a low industrial efficiency which can hinder their operational level in case of full scale war. It can be guessed that Core was designed to be dependant upon its creator on the economic point of view.

History
Most of Core history was learned by a KanesS Xenology team 3 centuries ago, they achieved to get some answers to a few questions.
"Core Prime became operational a quarter of a great rotation ago"
"Core Prime awaiting activation signal to begin operations against designated target"
Cue Cappan translated that a "great rotation" was a complete rotation of the galaxy, which takes around 1.2 billion years. Thus the core was build around 300 million years ago, but never activated. Their target is unknown, and certainly long dead. The planet has been classified as a useless piece of curiosity, unfit to be eaten.

Today, somewhere on Core Prime
Signal received and acknowledged.
Weapon systems Online.
Sensor systems Online.
Weapon design processor array Online.
Hull design processor array Online.
Maintenance systems Online.
Core Prime Strategic Node activated.
Core is ready for operations.




Note from U_E : I have a target. If that race is one of you, then my game's course is set . If not, everything is open. Only Tesco has been told of my target's identity.

We now have 4 races signed up.

1. Volar
2. Hydran
3. Zone
4. Core

Just waiting for the rest... As those who have submitted and those who will submit... Any additional ideas you get about your empires and want to work in send me an email... Could be items such as names of weapons, components, facilities. ideas on what you would like to have ... areas you think your strong or weak...

This mod will be very unique to each race where i will try to use as many names as possible for facilities and components... To simulate the difference between speices...
