Servatron

Servatrons are mechanical servants, usually Dalmeroid in appearance created by the Dalmer. 
An invention of need, they were created to staff and maintain entire cities. As such they have become an integral part of daily life for the inhabitants of the city, and are vital to running its everyday processes.
Servatrons have a shared appearance, voice, and sense of purpose. They hold a structured intelligence, often centered on their singular function. Their dialogue and actions are all based on this function. Attempts to deviate from this purpose is simply incomprehensible to them. 
In order to maintain cities Servatrons perform all manner of jobs and tasks. Repair Servatrons keep factories and functions running. Police Bot Servatrons secure the streets and locations of the Empire’s most dangerous secrets. Harvester Servatrons perform menial agricultural labor within the Automated Farms. Cuisine Administrators prepare food. Some were even trusted enough to provide medical attention to the citizenry. Some Servatron variants were designed with advanced combat features. A new prototype is created and is improved upon each time a Servatron is destroyed. Sequence plaques are collected to be analyzed for their data after each combat test so further advancements are made.
The city council, categories the Servatrons by their function, which resulted in numerous sub-groups being formed. On occasion, the Empire commissions scientists to create a series of Servatron for a specific purpose. Once example was a series created to collect, analyze, and interpret social and environmental data. Using this data, the city and by extension the empire could accurately predict the trends and needs of citizens and satisfy them before they ever realized they had any outstanding wants to gratify.
== Servatron Features ==
Since the dalmer are lazy, their servatron fabricated adventuring bodies are seldom complete with the programming of the literal billions of animations necessary to emulate a living body, and are usually loaded with basic animations (walking, running, striking, dodging, crouching) with some contextual variations that were added and evolved over time (swimming, crawling, parachuting) and some novel animations (such as climbing a ladder with only the legs to free the arms to carry a weapon). This only adds to the oddity of the dalmer among the other races.
===Vocabulator ===
Robotic speech apparatus. the machine translates heard spoeech into code interpretable by the servatron, which can then answer appropriately.
=== Toggletron ===
Main Article: Toggletron
Servatrons communicate with each other using a device known as a Toggletron. The way public servatrons work is by emitting and receiving tonal signals to one another constantly. Certain devices can disrupt these signals, drowning out all the noise so that only a hackers commands are received. However, should a non hacked device try to communicate directly with the hacked and notice deafness, a repair report goes out, and the hacked will be stopped and incarcerated awaiting repair. Servatron communications are centralized into a hub, the Resonant Sphere. 
Toggletrons are also sold to the public. Toggletrons are particularly good at sorting and filtering information. making them ideal library keepers and information seekers. The Toggletron can make remote copies of documents by scanning them. 
===Resonant sphere===
Main Article: Resonant Sphere
A resonant sphere emits tonal chimes, which are updates to servatron programming and acts as an emitter and communication hub for Servatrons. 
===Sentry Coils===
Main Article: Sentry Coil
In cities passive recording of all citizens is made via Servatrons sentry coil, everything is documented and verifiable. strangers to the city (exo's) are especially recorded by these devices. What the coils record are known as the ocean of information where all records pass through. Every individual record is known as an engine, that is disassembled, scrubbed and made clean by a redactor before entering the official records. Sentry coils are also used in fixed areas at the discretion of the city's administration. 
===Invisible Light===
Main Article: Invisible Light
A lamp that compresses geodic gas into an illumination that the other races can't see, a sort of invisible light. It doesn't work on all the other races and has a barely detectable smell. It helps in servatron navigation.
== Production ==
Servatrons are created in Pneumatic Forges, vast, heavily guarded factories where not even the citizenry is allowed entry. Servatrons themselves are programmed to severely limit the amount of information they can give about themselves, their location of production being one of them. Servatrons are given prewritten preprogrammed sequence plaques in order to carry out their duties. These sequence plaques can be replaced with UCH, with mixed results. On occasion, UC's have successfully been transplanted into the body of a Servatron, but inevitably led to the subject succumbing to insanity.
== Jurisprudence ==
Main Article: Jurisprudence concerning robots
With the rise of AI and the deviance that occurs naturally, a certain number of jurisprudence was developed from robots.
==Other races and Servatrons==
The nature and creation of Servatrons is a closely guarded secret that remains a mystery to the other races. Research on the constructs was typically met with violent opposition by the Dalmer. To some Other races, delving too deep into their subroutines and manufacture are acts of hubris so violent is the backlash from the Dalmer. 
Some other races try to interrogate robots. When faced with a query that requires higher cognition, Servatrons often recite a non sequitur with no discernible connection to the larger conversation. Very rarely these non sequiturs (also known as "verbal artifacts") are expressed as troubling statements, which result in the Servatron being recalled and taken out of circulation indefinitely.
