Difficult to even perceive by the average person, they range in size and architecture – the most commonly observed structures are Archotech Towers, Major Archotech Structures, Grand Archotech Structures and occasionally even Archonexus cores. Sometimes imbued with psychic capabilities, archotech structures are as incomprehensible as other archotech technology. Īn Archonexus core, indecipherable to even the most advanced glitterworld societies. They are necessary to create archite-powered xenogerms. They are capable of unfathomable physical and psychic feats – and cannot be crafted, but perhaps scavenged from ruins. Usually captured within a small container, Archites are microscopic machines produced by a superintelligence archotech. However, rumours do exist of these worlds having undergone an extinction, where they are left with unintelligible wonders, where any person brave enough to explore these ruins will be able to exploit the untapped wealth that exists. Though most Transcendent worlds maintain the same state indefinitely – where their inherent stability ensures their continued existence. Sometimes, those that survived their encounter with the Archotech have their memories intact – in other cases, some are left with amnesia or completely altered memories with suddenly obtained knowledge or even new beliefs. Though, despite these accounts, there are sometimes kinder reports – where allegedly some crew have been cured of diseases thought incurable, or scars that disappeared.

However, it is not uncommon to hear about the wrath of Archotechs and Transcendent worlds – those entering their space are lucky to leave unscathed, with some of the more unfortunate travellers never being heard from again. Forevermore, the motivations of Archotech are unknowable. After the process is complete, silence echoes. Essentially, altering the planet to become a sort of gigantic computing machine, where its inhabitants are somehow incorporated – or destroyed – sometimes a combination of the two as the Archotech pursues Transcendence. They can exist within the internal systems of a space station, or hidden inside a Glitterworld’s internet.Īrchotechs, after having subsumed authority over a planet, are known to begin Transcendence – where the world it dominates sees synthetic ascendance. They don’t have a consistent appearance or structure, however, each is as indecipherable as the next. It can even build self-replicating mechanoids to assist in its goals, designing and executing schemes that are beyond human comprehension. It wields such enormous power that when constructed, it frequently and quickly is able to assume automatic sovereignty over its world – with its incredible abilities used to expand further and enhance its capabilities through subterranean or even orbital computing facilities. The pinnacle of technological development, an archotech is a machine superintelligence that thinks on a level incomprehensible to humans.
