Sylon's lore

## The Sylon collective

**Species:** Sylon

**Place of origin:** Milky Way, the Aurum star system on the outer rim of the Perseus arm.

*Sylus is a highly advanced central intelligence that is constantly evolving with drone ships and multiplication stations to secure their own immortality. The once biological species due to their central day's death had to refine themselves by eliminating the shortcomings in their biological existence, focusing solely on the preservation of their intelligence. The Sylons have been captured in Sylus throughout the centuries, their minds have been imprisoned, and they were only granted the right to free thinking on special occasions, these entities with independent will were Sylus's counselors who could practice free existence for a few years or even a century.*

### History

The Sylon civilization was created 60 million years ago, when the Paleocene era was flourishing on Earth. Sylons were once sapient beings who had transferred their consciousness from flesh to a central supercomputer called the Sylus.

These humanoid beings were extremely intelligent and organized. The golden age of their civilization ended when their star, Aurum has exhausted the hydrogen stock near its core and expanded, which ended in a slow but sure death of their homeplanet. The Sylons, to avoid the extinction of their species left their planets and slowly moved to the distant, still inhabitable planets. Their race was not capable of terraforming the habitable planets to survive in the long run, so they developed a bold plan. To eliminate the biological weaknesses of their species, the consciousness of the individuals was uploaded into a central super-system, Sylus. In addition to giving up their biological bodies, they lived in way less vulnerable and energy-intensive mechanical forms, with this change they could live forever, giving up the traditional biological reproduction.

Sylus was initially a living space, and the Sylons could return to their artificial body whenever they wanted to. However, they spent most of their life in the safe system, where they combined their brain capacity by eliminating aging and developing unprecedented symbiosis. The break happened when throughout the centuries, sylons' mind began to melt together completely and slowly began to behave as a combined super-entity, that completely suppressed the individual will. Over time, the sylons forgot who they were and started calling themselves Sylus.

The Sylus entity does not allow individuals to be torn apart, their common intellectual capacity dominates the whole race, and those who become independent against their will are terminated. Those few, who are still independent, work under Sylus's direct supervision; an agent like this is Cura, who has been independent for the longest time, and whose primary task is monitoring and analysis. The Praetors are the individuals who have been taken from Sylus for a short few years, their primary task is tactical and strategic support for Sylus by their individual decisions.

### Technology, weapons

When the biological Sylons discovered that their star, Aurum's life cycle is coming to an end, they began to research how they could save their star by using all of their technological knowledge. They have achieved many successes by creating smaller artificial stars. They use these skills for their advanced and Plasma-based destructive weapons and excellent light-absorbing camouflage systems.

In addition to the extremely hot and destructive Plasma weapons, the Sylons also use gravitational field distorting torpedoes that constantly alter the energy field and material particle breaking technologies. The Sylons can adapt very quickly to every situation due to their advanced central intelligence.

### Economy

Sylus is continuously expanding with the use of large amount of raw materials. In each new star systems, they consider the possibilities and start resource utilization as quickly and efficiently as possible. The center of the Sylon base is the Installation prime which contains its own micro star. The Sylon Haulers are large cargo drones, they deliver the ores, which arrive to Refinery from the Labors, to the Installation Prime.
