Excerpts

 * "We all have creators. This truth is undeniable. Some call it the engine of evolution, others a [g]od. The choice each of us must make is whether or not to accept this truth."

Uncategorized Excerpts
"It is often asserted that the Praetorians are more than a conventional military bent on conquest and that they are actually agents of change, machines created to remake the world in a form suitable to their, or another's, inscrutable purposes. But machines created by who?"

OS-I
"Many died in the Cyberlands, hunting the secrets of our enemies. But their sacrifices were not in vain. The data they gathered still holds within information hubs scattered across the wastes. Collecting all of these precious data fragments is essential to unraveling the secrets of the Praetorians."

OS-I: 1
1:1 — Precursors

A distant galaxy. Hundreds of star systems stretch across the darkness like a giant tapestry, woven from the harsh light of unfamiliar and distant suns. One such system hosts a saurian-like species who would eventually build a sophisticated, starfaring civilization, spanning all of the twelve planets orbiting a binary star. They are precursors of the distant past. They are the Primeval.

The Praetorians
"The Praetorians are more than a conventional military bent on conquest. They are agents of change, machines created to remake the world in a form suitable to their survival. But machines created by who?"

The armies of an ancient war, the Praetorians have lain dormant within the planet Mars for millenia, waiting to be revived by the dawning of its second birth. Now as the desert world blossoms once more, old machines awaken, beginning a slow process of revivification that will see the eradication of the human race, and every world made anew.

Hull
"Endless waves of metal armies marching at you."

The hull makes up the vast majority of Praetorian forces across the planet, and though they lack the computational capacity of more efficient Praetorian models, each hull contains all of the imperatives required to carry out local tasks such as scouting missions and target elimination. This, of course, makes them ill-equipped to deal with situations outside of their predetermined functions.

Superordinate hull
""

The second major combat unit in the Praetorian network is the superordinate hull. Fitted with improved data processors and devastating weaponry, superordinate hulls act as security units of the Praetorians. Defending high level leaders and key Praetorian structures, these hulls will descend on the slightest threat with overwhelming force and inscrutable, thorough violence.

Coalescent hull
""

The Coalescent hull is an aggressive Praetorian unit that stands out among its troops, leading the attack. Unlike other models, Coalescent hulls possess the ability to predict enemy responses and to act in accordance. Fortunately, this ability can be countered by sporadic maneuvers, supplemented by disruptive use of explosives to cause temporary diversions.
