Omega-7

## **Overview**

ADS Omega-7 Epsilon-Zulu-Ultimatum, common known as Omega-7, was a prototype ADS (Autonomous Discovery Swarm) and the third iteration of Project Hivemind. Like other ADS's, Omega-7 was a structured fleet of autonomous spacecrafts, vehicles and androids with cutting-edge swarm intelligence and self-replicating capabilities used to transform uncharted solar systems into habitable mining environments. Omega-7 was commanded by an unmanned Megalodon-class mothership and overseen by the Corpus mainframe AI, GAIA.

Following the broadcast of an unidentified gamma signal, Omega-7 went rogue and began self-replicating on a dangerous level. Immediately, NOVA operatives were dispatched to quell the ADS before being neutralized themselves by the ADS's experimental weaponry.

On its third mission to chart out the "Gavin Romeo" system, Omega-7 came into the vicinity of an anomalous interstellar signal broadcasted at the ADS's secret inter-fleet frequency. Subsequently, Omega-7 experienced severe security breaches before going completely rogue. After 109 failed attempts to re-establish connection by GAIA in a mere 2.4 seconds, the mainframe AI immediately briefed and dispatched a squadron of

## **History**

Following the relative success and glaring shortcomings of Omega-3 and Omega-5, the AID (Autonomous Infrastructure and Droid) division of Corpus's R&D branch began deployment of a third, improved version of Project Hivemind. Designated Omega-7, the newest iteration at the time included improvements like reduced robotic load, faster mainframe processing and updates to the swarm intelligence AI. After a QA period of two months, Omega-7

## Robots

Omega-7 consists of the follow scout robots:

* "Weaver": durable, unarmed quadracopters for mapping out terrain from the air and conducting tests
* "Wolverine": durable, unarmedhover-rover for mapping out terrain on the ground and conducting tests
* "Wolf": durable, unarmed submersible for mapping out any seabed and conducting tests
* "Whiplash": durable, unarmed spacecraft for mapping out celestial bodies from space

Omega-7 consists of the following fighter robots:

* "Overwatch": humanoid robots equipped with a variety of plasma/laser firearms
* "Obsidian": uni-wheel amphibious drones equipped with pulse canons
* "Onyx": VTOL drones equipped with hypersonic missiles for intraplanetary patrol
* "Oblivion": massive carriers for smaller robots and equipped with focus beams
* "Odin": highly-maneuverable starfighters equipped with ion canons

Omega-7 consists of the following interstellar robots:

* "Seraph": battle cruiser for deploying Oblivions and storing scout and fighter robots
* "Seeker": offensive-based destroyer equipped with laser batteries and tractor beams
* "Siren": smaller corvettes deploying Odins and providing firepower with their ion torpedoes

All Omega-7 robots are commanded by the "Magma" mothership, easily the largest ADS robot at 2000m. It contains its own mainframe AI taking commands from GAIA to relay to its subordinates, which will give orders to the scout, fighter and interstellar robots accordingly. It is protected by poly-enigma encryption for maximum anti-hack security.
