TROY (Trojan)

TROY was an anti-artificial intelligence devastator malware that, alongside PROMETHEUS, was created by the Coalition of Congressional Republics in order to fight the rogue METASASIS AI during the Machine War in the 2160s. Under digital warfare protocols, TROY was inserted (through physical deployment or digital intrusion) into any mainframe suspected to be infected by METASASIS, wiping all possible software; this was sometimes done before PROMETHEUS was routed to take control, especially in the case of essential systems, such as life support or atmospheric controls.
Due to its nature as a total obliterator of software, this included its own staging and propagation code. Thus, when TROY completed its devastation protocol, it even wiped its own code behind. As a result of this power, all payloads of TROY except for the original code on Earth were subsequently destroyed following the end of the Machine War. The original code, stored in Hong Kong, was safekept in the event that the original iterations of PROMETHEUS turned aberrant.
However, with continual upgrading of PROMETHEUS and the improvement of anti-aberrancy measures, TROY has become defunct in its application to destroy superturings.
