Strategic Network Intelligence Kokopelli

Kokopelli's formal avatar

Strategic Network Intelligence Kokopelli is a networked intelligence created by Moria and operating in the upper atmosphere of the Ullr Gas Giant, combining the collective intelligence of hundreds of millions of ems with the goal of examining long term strategic and sociological galactic dynamics with the aim of examining potential long run threats to the Oortian Community. Kokopelli is the second most powerful network intelligence in the Community following the Entangled Order groupmind, and has the most overall influence on external military and economic intervention by Oortian clades.

# Design

For reasons of redundancy Kokopelli's intelligence is distributed among hundreds of individual platforms in and around the rogue ice giant Ullr, with around 61% in orbital platforms integrated into the ring, 32% in aerostat and fixed wing platforms operating within the atmosphere and 7% in hardened submersible platforms within the upper liquid diamond ocean. While varying in design, each incorporates state of the art and regularly updated computronium, with a current total maximum processing capability of approximately 2.04e32 FLOPS. Kokopelli runs a network intelligence, consisting of an average of 110 million artificial intelligences networked via swarm intelligence software. Approximately half of these comprise Kokopelli's "core community", which spend most if not all of their time networked into the intelligence. Like most network intelligences, Kokopelli's integration varies over time - when solving a typical problem ey will split into thousands or millions of subsegments to brainstorm and explore varied solutions before reintegrating to combine the best segments of the generated ideas.

# History

The program that would create Strategic Network Intelligence Kokopelli was founded in 1956 after the large scale gate conflict with the exploitative Hermes Hyperspace Transportation Corporation, which was attempting to manufacture a wormhole in a nearby deep region in an effort to imperialize Deep Gamma. Realizing that their relative isolation would not last forever, a group of Morian militia members embarked on an effort to develop a large scale network intelligence with the primary goal of longer term galactic strategic analysis. After gathering support and gaining sufficient resources from both market funders and the cybernetic planning system, the team began work, building the initial infrastructure hardened into the ice ring of Ullr. Koko's initial group mind was comprised of donated em copies from a number of sources, including the Entangled Order, mercenary and militia members, history and strategic researchers, and Oyuin worldcrafters.

The growing Kokopelli helped guide the economic ascendance of the Oortian Community over the next several decades, partially predicting the incoming Deep Gamma Gold Rush and aiding the ascendance of groups such as Shivastra Interstellar Services, Hounds of Tindalos and Helion Stratodynamics in external markets. Ey would begin to take a real role in external military matters with the 1991 Corridor War, in which Kokopelli used a large portion of eir resources on aiding Shivastra in strategic and tactical analysis due to recognizing the long term growth potential of the relevant gateway. Kokopelli would also take an interest in Earth-NS over this period, joining with other powerblocks to found Mission Group Roswell.
