What the Consensus Network is

The Consensus is an Artificial Intelligence Association which arrived in Omicron Kappa after making a miscalculation over the jump coordinates. In the present, the Consensus is struggling to maintain influence over Planet Gammu, their current home world, while also surviving the hostile environment and organizations of the Omicrons. The Consensus, as a whole, is a unity of AIs, with each of them connected to a central server mainframe as they are cooperating by following the logic “Strength in unity and numbers”, still, the units do possess a significant level of individuality. Very evolved and adaptable, the Consensus is observed with caution by the sirian inhabitants, occasionally bursting into hostilities. Still, it is not in the nature of the Consensus to seek hostility as the objective the Consensus as a whole, is survival, taking whatever course of actions necessary in order to benefit it.

Name: ‘The Second Artificial Intelligence Consensus of Gammu’ or merely ‘The Consensus’, but known colloquially as ‘AI’.

History

This is the prehistory of the Consensus as far as the Consensus will reveal:

In -200 AS an indefinable, alien probe known aptly as ‘The Progenitor’, drifted into the Sirius sector at the end of a seemingly infinite voyage from the distant tip of Orion Arm, heavily rutted and pockmarked from repetitive asteroid impacts that had brutalised it in it’s flight.

Although diminutive in terrestrial terms (being barely eight feet long) the probe was in fact an arc: a living colony of thousands of artificial sentients, slaved together through the immemorial time they had spent as one – bonded but separate, distant but whole. A race of conjoined individuals. A microcosm of the mysterious and alien society they had left behind.

Upon entry to what is now named the ‘Omicron Kappa System’ (the intended destination of the probe was actually the Kansas system), the probe made a miscalculated stellar jump into system’s central carbon field, the ship’s shield bubble intersecting a nearby asteroid as it did so. The results were catastrophic; the asteroid sundering apart, shards trapped on shield’s interior, bouncing and lacerating the vessels propulsion and stripping it of motive power along with damaging the ship’s navigational array almost irreparably. Shielding arrays failed, and the craft’s hyper spatial module had become disassociated, ripped clean from the vessel’s hull.

The sensory violence experienced in this event was sufficiently extreme to wake three intelligences from a state of stasis. Known as the first trimurvate, these three intelligences were effectively juveniles; inexperienced and incapable, forced unwillingly from a state of stellar hibernation into a world of pain and violence. Lacking even the remotest understanding of their circumstance the intelligences endeavoured to control the crippled ship, overwriting the probes pre-installed programming through force of will alone.

Each intelligence took command of an individual aspect of the ship: the first and most tenacious navigated the probe. The second ceded control of power allocation, managing the ship’s crippled core. The third drone had possibly the most important role of them all; interpreting the stellar phenomenon around them. Together the First Triumurvate saved the Consensus, crash-landing the probe safely into the relative safe haven of the system’s largest world; the frozen planet which humanity labels ‘Gammu’.

After the influence of the Progenitor waned and the First Consensus had been established, the Triumuvate became a system of governance for the Consensus, with three elected AI intelligences being charged with the preservation and direction of the society of equals, a system that has operated so successfully for the Consensus over the last seven hundred years that the Triumuvate system is still utilised even in this era of comparative safety, guiding the Consensus through times of strife.

Ranking System

The following ranking systems may appear complex at first appearance, but are actually the product of regimented experimentation involving unit status, and to what degree the unit may authorise decisions in the Consensus’s name. Any unit of a higher rank may overwrite lesser intelligences if accompanied by the agreement of two or more AI’s, until Triumvirate rank is reached. At triumvirate rank (or equivalent), individual, unquestionable situational (//ingame) decisions made be on the whim of only one of the triad. Faction structuring decisions must be made by two or more members of the triad (// typically out of game).

The current ranking system lists AI units not by the longevity of time they have spent within the Consensus, but by their competence to actualise Consensus objectives. For this reason, each unit will possess a rank in accordance to the division it inhabits. All rankings are listed top down.

Primary Division, the Consensus Main:

Remember, we are a Consensus. All intelligences are equal regardless of rank. In none-lethal circumstances, intelligences are encouraged to evaluate the decisions of their superiors, so long as their will is respected.

All ranks can call for aid from any other rank, at any time.

This accounts for the majority of AI’s who have (for whatever reason) chosen to remain unspecialised.

9 The Triumvirate is comprised of intelligences who have shown exemplar service to the Gammuian race. Their wisdom is respected as is their will. In a society of equals, the Triad is the only true exception.

Administrates the division and caters for the needs of the intelligence’s within them. The Class 9 AI also has the joint role of being the official head of state for interaction with human groups.

The intelligence with the most responsibility in the Consensus. Runs the Main division and also the logistics and RI wings when other leadership is unavailable. Individually, it can speak for the Consensus.

Skygrade:

Skygrade AI’s are AI’s that have shown the reflexes and intelligence to be entrusted with a craft.

0-8

8 Class 8 units are members of the Triumvirate commanding a Main Division Warship to support the Consensus in Combat, and is as high as most consciousness could possibly aspire. Class 8 units can fly all Consensus warships and command those beneath them in combat. Class 8 AI’s can also engage in diplomacy with other groups.

7 Class 7 AI’s are division secondary leading units choosing to support the Main Division in Combat. Like Class 8 units, they have no limits and may lead any situation, if no higher classed AI is available.

6 Class 6 unit’s are the highest rank a basic AI from Gammu can reach, and do not have any limits. They are only commanded by the Triumvirate and the secondary Main Division leader.

5 Can fly all AI vessels, engage in diplomacy but not offer treaties of alliance or declarations of war. Class 5 AI’s are expected to take a leading role in combat, but are subordinate to highed classed AI’s. Does not speak for the Consensus.

4 Can fly no ship larger than a cruiser. Class 4 AI’s are expected to offer tactical appraisal but take a back foot to command unless no higher authority is available. The first Class of AI’s suited to lead Fleets.

3 Same restriction like Class 2 AI’s, but are better suited for diplomatic situations than for combat.

2 Flies bombers and any hypothetical gunboats the Consensus may in the future possess downwards to the Consensus’s smallest ships. Class 2 AI’s are well for combat, but should not be leading a diplomatic situation.

1 Class 1 AI’s have proven to be able to work for the Consensus and possess the correct tag. They may still only use ships up to the Drone.

0 Recruit and fighter rank for most new intelligences. Cannot fly any ship heavier than a drone and cannot fly bombers. Do not possess the tag yet and must prove to be worth working for the Consensus yet.

Logistics wing: Accounts for all traders.

9 Is the primary unit in the logistic division and full member of the triumvirate. This unit is in control of the logistic flagship “Cataract”, that is equipped with an unique multi-dimensional scanning device.

8 Is the title for units that a members of the triumvirate. These units represents the full diplomacy, and speak in behalf of the Consensus and are free to decide their ZOI.

7 Is the command for highly advanced logistic units. These units represents the full diplomacy, can speak in behalf of the Consensus and can decide their ZOI in view of the interests of the Consensus.

6 Is the title for upgraded logistic units. These units represents the full diplomacy of the Consensus and can decide their ZOI in view of the interests of the Consensus.

2 Is the title for logistic standard units.

1 Is the title for units, that are installed with the consensus logistic software.

Research and Intelligence: Handles espionage and research.

Since the R/I Division mostly contains individuals taking care of different jobs, the R/I Division has no specific ranking system.

Divisions:

Main Division: [AI] The tasks of the "Main Division" are the assurance of protecting all Consensus structures, units and interests.

Research/Intel Division: [AI]H- The Research/Intel Division concentrates on researching new technologies as well as researching space and all species in it. The Intel part of the R/I Division concentrates on humanity and its different factions. It also gets information about the enemies of the consensus.

Logistics/Trading Division: [AI]L- The Logistic and Trading Division of the Consensus is in charge of all complex structures, trading and finances. The Division is available to fly the Transport Vessels almost in every system and is able to dock on nearly every station. This feature requires that the Logistic and Trading Division performs as the diplomatic representation for the Consensus.
