BOTs

BOTs are massive humanoid mechs that are controlled by human pilots to mimic human actions.

## Appearance

While their appearance can vary depending on how they were built, all BOTs have a humanoid body structure, along with having vital systems such as the battery called the CORE and the Cockpit being placed in positions that are similar to the human body. They even possess individual fingers, though the feet of the BOT are massive thrusters and machines that help keep the BOT on its feet and able to travel through space. The armor of the BOT has a typical shade of grey, though it could vary.

The face of the BOT has a visor that protects the massive camera (or window) that allows the pilot to see their surroundings. The design of the visor varies between BOTs, though most have two rectangular visors that are located like eyes.

## Creation

BOTs were first created in 2858 by the United Empires, in an attempt to fight the overwhelming Porygon during the Porygon War. Basing its design off the Angels of Rapture suits and the capabilities of NEX, the first set of BOTs were created and formed the Alpha Legion. Being extremely massive durable, these first designs of the BOTs were eventually retired for more cheaper and faster methods, in order to supply a greater demand for BOTS with the rise of alien pirates and raiders.

## Functionality

BOTs are powered by the CORE, which allows the gigantic BOT to move freely with NEX. When the pilot sends signals to the CORE through the use of a Harness device, it will manipulate the NEX and motors to move the BOT at the commands of the pilot. If the CORE is restricted or damaged in any way, the movements of the BOT become very limited, and signals for movements can become delayed, or do something completely different.

Pilots operate BOTs by wearing a Harness device, usually a device they wear or is attached to the Cockpit. CORE connectors are then attached to the Harness, and the pilot's vision becomes synced with the visor of the BOT.

## NEX Enhancers

NEX Enhancers act as a secondary CORE, producing their own NEX to the BOT. Being able to send signals to the BOT itself without the use of the CORE allows NEX Enhancers to move and react much faster than normal pilots. While piloting, they have the benefit of being able to retain their vision of their own body while seeing through the BOT, which allows them to be able to see their Harness controls, which helps with more advanced control.

They can also control the BOT with the Mirror Process, in which the BOT's movements are entirely controlled by the movements of the pilot, using the pilot's NEX entirely. However, if the BOT is knocked away or hit, the pilot's body will also react in a similar way, making any damage the BOT takes damage the pilot also takes. This damage is often only felt,

NEX Enhancers can still use their BOTs even when its CORE is damaged by applying their own NEX, but the more they must use their on NEX, Mimicry connection will be established, even without the knowledge of the pilot.

## Abilities

Built as the ultimate weapons of war, BOTS are capable to unimaginable power, especially under the right pilot. For many, its less about the capabilities of the BOT, but more of the capabilities of the pilot.

### Durability

BOTs have extremely tough armor known as Imar that is resistant to most weaponry, though it can be damaged with AMAs, and other high-powered weapons. BOTs can also form powerful force fields entirely powered by NEX, allowing the BOTs to protect themselves from essentially any attack - only limited by the amount of NEX they can use to hold up their shields. Nullifier can also be used as defensive shields on BOTs, disintegrating any attacks or foreign objects upon contact

### Speed

Despite many BOTs being able to tower over mountains and oceans, to even reaching to space on smaller planets, thanks to the space-manipulating properties of NEX, BOTs are still able to move freely like a normal human - entirely violating the Square-Cube law and the way most people think of large moving objects. Along with the usage of various thrusters and rockets within the BOTs' bodies, this allows BOTs to achieve high speeds beyond normal humanoid travel. Many can even use BOTs to warp to various far away locations like actual spaceships

### Precision

While BOTs may tower over entire worlds, they're still able to be delicate and precise enough to minimize collateral damage, which Officer pilots especially aim for to reduce loss of life during operations. Through the usage of NEX and other technology, BOTs can safely step and travel through populated areas by "floating" their BOTs' feet over these areas, and can absorb or negate shock waves produced through their movements.

With many computer systems and the precision of a pilot, BOTs can be very precise of what they can accomplish despite their overwhelming size - from being able gently pick up an animal from a massive city with no disruptions, evade tiny civilian aircraft flying below, to even being able to specifically crush a small target with a finger, while leaping over an entire city with no destruction.

### Other

BOTs also have powerful internal weapon systems, which mostly designed to fend off any boarding parties from entering the massive mech. There are hundreds of hidden laser cannons all over the body of the BOT, which can blast through most small ships and destroy small missiles approaching. The entire armor of the BOT can sweep itself with a field of Nullifier energy, which kills off most lifeforms on the BOT. Similar to how the Angels of Rapture use their destructive cosmic beams, BOTs can activate deadly Nullifer blasts that destroy entire alien fleets. This, however, uses much of the pilot's stamina and risks exploding the CORE, and is hardly used.

It is a common fact among pilots that a child pilot in a BOT, with the right AMA, could be able to wipe out a planet full of aliens within hours, assuming that the aliens do not have any powerful anti-BOT weapons.

## Usage

BOTs are used for a variety of purposes, from military purposes to basic travel. Families or groups of people responsible for watching over imprisoned aliens on remote worlds (called Officers) use BOTs to help them navigate the planet quickly and deal with any uprisings or conflicts. Farmers with planet-sized farmlands use BOTs to quickly harvest and plant crops and to fight off thieves and hostile wildlife.
