**AEGIS Interplanetary Incorporated**, also referred to as **AEGIS**, or simply in the story as "**The Company"**, is a multi-planetary conglomerate with fields in various different kinds of technology. It owns a variety of subsidiaries, with most being dedicated to the advancement of artificial intelligence and general weaponry. Mainly the company itself specializes in the designing, manufacturing, and selling of robots. This also expands into the making of military equipment and technology similar to it, by the usage of robots. Their most popular brand of robots being the Assembly Robots. However the company does not only create robots, and it owns a large amount of patents on things like: consumer products, transportation services, tourism, industrial machines, and artificial intelligence. The most popular, current operating systems for most computers is developed by the company as well. The companies large array of subsidiaries was typical of large-scale corporations and conglomerates, though this system was purposely set up to forward the blame of the corporation onto one of its subsidiaries, to direct attention away from its shady and illegal actions. As well as its infamous association with the secret society of the Triads, as well as the Inquisition.

Some of the more illegal practices of the company come from direct connections with the two aforementioned organizations, more so the inquisition, of which its process of disassembly comes from. However its association with the Triads is quiet ironic, given the society is very anprosthetic, and the biggest cut of profits from the company directly comes from the creation of semi-sentient robots, such as Service Robots. However, since the passing of the Article 15 , creation of such machines has been forbidden. This has strengthened relations with the group and even made them more cooperative, as sentient machines would instead be sent to the Triads, rather than marked for termination, a process which cost time and money for the company. As such the Group became a vital addition to the company. It also prompted the company to actually begin colonization of Eden, as well. As a large percentage of the population were filled with sentient robots. As well as this the triads also implemented the creation of the Disassembly Drones, which were only allowed sentience in order to further the extermination of robots on Eden.

Apart from the creation of artificial intelligence and machines, the company most heavily focuses on the creation of defense weaponry, or military equipment. The Disassembly Drone actually a later version of a model of Drone used frequently in war environments across the galaxy. Most prevalently on the nearby planet of Navialsis, or as it is nicknamed, The Hell World. The usage of drones —and selling them to both sides of the conflict — prolonged the conflict on the planet for some time, during it into an even more global war. The selling of arms to Navialsis as actually created a large dependance on the company from the militaries buying the weapons, as natural resources on the planet have dwindled to nothing, not allowing mass production. The conflict has provided a large amount of company profits ever since.

In the early to late 2000's the company experienced a branch off company, now known as the Aurora Company, who moved away due to a drastic change in company policies and overall frustration with the output of the company in its earlier years. The Aurora Company would come to rival the company in the years to follow, seeing the fall of their former rival company. However, in recent times the company has fallen short of how AEGIS is doing today.

## History of AEGIS

### Beginnings (1990s - 2000s)

The beginnings of the AEGIS Corporation lie within the initial invention of robotics within the Soviet Union, and the beginning of development of artificial intelligence in the United States. The government put up a large sum of money to any corporation or even entity that could create a machine able enough to rival would the USSR had created. With the fear that this technology would be used to their advantage. Its two most prominent founding members: Ingrid D. Günter, and Orwell Kelvin Spenser, who both were immigrants from Germany, created a small, temporary company to take up the endeavor. Both were former university classmates and had worked together in the past in the newly formed field of robotics. Eventually their efforts resulting in one of the very first robots, which was very reminiscent of later Generation 5 robots, however only in appearance. They sent their prototype robot to Washington D.C and eventually were put on a ballet of candidates. While the two didn't win, they certainly were recognized for their brilliance in the field. The government paid the company a large sum of money to continue investment and creation into robots. The company would rebrand itself and call itself Ingrid & Gunter. A very early version of the AEGIS Corporation.

1. ↑ Meaning Anti-Robot or against Artificial intelligence. Contrary to what some may believe, it does not mean anti machinery, and only refers to sentient robots.
2. ↑ **Article 15:** The creation of a machine in the likes of a mans mind; shall be forbidden. As the practice of such brings a threat to the species itself.
