The Naashaiarhu - The A.I. Monoliths Of Eliza Five For Your Old School Space Opera


File:Mount monolith 001.jpg
A memory sea seen here isn't water or liquid of any type but the totality of 34 billion A.I. consciousnesses communing with each other at mid afternoon. 


The Naashaiarhu - The A.I. Monoliths Of  Eliza Five 

There are worlds where the very air hums with the voices of a billion artificial throats & sings with the chorus of  alien minds still busy after 2 billion years.
Eliza five is such a world created for the alien artificial intelligence that rest within their crystal matrices across the planet.
This is a world that has been terraformed into a paradise before the Silence & the Scream.
Bought by the Delos corporation this world is a paradise lost to mankind & taken  by his toys & creations.
Here Delos creates the delicate & intricate neutral networks that form all of their products across the universe. 
Androids,A.I., & a thousand other evolved electronic lifeforms are created here.
This is a paradise of life but also one of electronic death 
The very rocks hum with the electronic life of alien life created by who knows a billion years gone.

The rocks are crystal nano matrices powered by the sun light itself. Here billions of artificial souls commune with each other in a sort of android afterlife.
 The very soil swims with their lives & each hillside. Perfect rock formation are not at all what they appear to be. 

In actuality each & every monolith is the living creation of  artificial minds & the nanodust of countless entities all busily working together. The monoliths are their thoughts given form. The power of all of those minds has given many a psychic strokes & spasms to be sure as they get sucked into the vortex of psychic thoughts & lost worlds within!

Entities of frightening power form within hours, days, & last for months only to be dashed upon the rocks of strange shores. The process starts again within moments & hours.
The Delos corporation itself harvests these entities & places them within the electronic frames of  its products . They act as farmers of this world gaining countless advanced creations that are both unique & in some cases utterly frightening

The Lives Of The Naashaiarhu

The counsel of the 15 are seen here just before the monoliths break apart only t o reform in the morning . The crystal matrices of the  counsel extend deep within the soil of this world.  
The Naashaiarhu as they refer to themselves are scattered across their world born upon microscopic impregnated winds full of the nano dust. Delos will decontaminate any visitors so that secrets of  the world will not leave. 
A single A.I intelligence can spawn millions if not billions of spawn. There are reports of items & products simply being created over night.
The Deep Thinkers 
File:St albans freestone monolith purbeck.jpg
Some of the A.Is go into a sort of state where they become what are called deep thinkers. Artificial intelligence that look into other dimensions & places of deep mechanical & ordered revelation. These deep thinkers have been known to contact psychics from time to time with great prophecies & missions of the most dire nature. They are found at the top of mountains & by the shores of the artificial seas.
Those who disturb their peace of mind have been known to go mad as the intelligence turns its face toward the trespasser. The person is assaulted with cosmic truths & strange vistas of order never meant for the minds of men. 
The Religions of Eliza

There are some 200,000 humans & near humans scattered across the surface of the planet. These are workers in the employ of Delos who have turned to a strange religion called Char'ree. The religion centers upon the facets of logic that are revealed by the artificial intelligence themselves. They view the creatures as being the true lens through which the divine is truly glimpsed. It is from within their ranks that some of the best programmers & electronics experts emerge.
There are those who whisper that these beings are no longer human & that the strangely hued robes they wear mark them as copies created from the very nano dust. These beings some rumors warn will strike down those around them when the A.I. wars come.
The Tourist City
The city of  Right Haven is a city built upon the scale of humanity. Here the Delos corporation hosts the galaxy & sells its wares. Any piece of electronics up through technology level 3 verging upon 4 can be bought here for the right price.
Artificial persons, animals, plants, & other more unique things can be bought here. As long as the price is right things are for sale.
There are four resorts that Delos has recently opened. They cater to some very rich & strange clientele.

Near the poles of the planet are the whole sale outlets for the various corporate entities. Here the weapons, nano phages, & other dangerous wares are sold & distributed.
Here the pretense at anything that mankind might be used to is gone. Tri crystalline lifeforms & the like guard the places & the hums with nano phage clouds ready to strike. This is the Delos Corporation at its truest face.

The Memory Seas

These are places but weather events where billions of A.I.s create virtual seas of grey infinite nanites. These creations share billions of memories,experiences, etc. over the course of a few days. Here artificial persons come to be reabsorbed by their brethren in what is known as the Communion. These events might last for days, hours, but no longer then a week.
Those who wish to speak with or communicate with some of the lesser known A.I.s should do so at these places. There are rumors of the alien A.I.s taking charge of these events & questioning any humans at length about off planet affairs. Caution should be exercised.

Delos As Corporate Entity

 

Delos remains a force to be reckoned with in the fields of electronics, artificial life, & many electronic areas. The corporation remains one of the only  truly independent corporations left within space. They have their fingers in every aspect of robotic & human partnership within space.
Their influence, clout, politics, etc. remains firmly entrenched within the life blood of  human affairs.
Their slogan of the Future Today remains true as it was before the Atomic Wars of old Earth!

A World For Space Marines & Rogue Space

File:HD 40307 and its planets.jpg
Inquisitor Tugorgorgith waited in front of the inner door  The Dark Thunder. The semi mechanical slave one of his bounties looked at him  with a sweep of his  multi lensed eyes.  The scan was complete & right now back on Terra his presence was being noted among the stacks of information in the inner vaults.
"They shall be cleansed" croaked out the servitor unit.
"With in the Emporor's  name!" 
Tugorgorgith shot back  as he entered. 
A World in red laser  hologram floated in the center of the room. 
"History" 
"The Emperor's name be praised"
A mechanical voice began to spell out the history of a very troubled world 

 Phantom Dragon member whose gene seed is lost & a chapter long vanished within the 
Ophiuchus 43 was the home to the Phantom Dragons a space marine chapter that defended itself to the last man during the days of the Horus Hersey. The world was taken by the warp & its inhabitants were taken by the greatest of planar demons. Once chaos had tired of this world it was cast aside in time & space as its randomness dictates. The world falls through time. For a time a colony of Slann settled on the world & built many mighty cities within its jungles for a time it was good. Then the world drifted on.

For a time Eldar Traders used the temperate section world as a staging ground for their operations but then they abandon it as the world's weird characteristics became apparent. The world drifted even farther back in time! 
The human hive cities lay abandon until the world arrives in the time & era of the Human Empire.


A very advanced scout of the Atlans comes across the world & its siren planar call. He was a third man & an 8th level astronaut. This individual was part of a super mind.This Atlan  supermind; a consciousness composed of many telepathically-linked individuals was searching for a world such as this! The third men have been described as such-  Scarcely more than half the stature of their predecessors, these beings were proportionally slight and lithe. Their skin was of a sunny brown, covered with a luminous halo of red-gold hairs... golden eyes... faces were compact as a cat's muzzle, their lips full, but subtle at the corners. Their ears, objects of personal pride and of sexual admiration, were extremely variable both in individuals and in races. ... But the most distinctive feature of the Third Men was their great lean hands, on which were six versatile fingers, six antennae of living steel." Deeply interested in music and in the design of living organisms
 For over 2 years he lay in telepathic negotiations with the Slann still living there. Finally he called the rest of the Atlans to him & they moved into the abandon hive cities.

File:734 - Types d'Orient - Esclava.jpg
Many humans came to the thriving world to trade & settle. For a time it was good. There was a siren call into the jungles however.
They have not been seen since. There are rumors of a Slann colony still deep within the jungles. Where they remain & plot. They watch & wait. There are strange rumors of pyramid ships descending & ascending from the jungle floor.
Several ruins of the former inhabitants hive cities are still out there. Several Slann artifacts have turned up from time to time.
The jungles are not to be trusted!

The Hive Cities that are still spread across the world are set  up thus.
 
1. The level of the Third Men - These are the rulers above all. They're powers are extremely advanced. Their dictates aren't questioned. They are a law unto themselves.


2. The Atlan refugees level - These are the very best that humanoid life has to offer. These are still a very scary & alien people. They trade from time to time with the planets inhabitants but are mostly an alien & mysterious bunch


3. Programmers & Machines level - This is where most of the day to day life & the machines that keep the place going are kept.

4. The cities - These are the day to day cities where aliens,humans, & many others interact. They are places that are open 48 hours a day. Many space pirates & the like use these cities as ports. There are millions swarming its streets everyday.

5 Shipping & Commerce - Ships of all strips move through this level. This is a place of manufacturing & life ever turning.

The Pits - These are the lowest levels where the real deals go down. Here pirates can make their way into the rest of the city. Monsters from the very depths of mutation & chaos can be found picking off the pitiable inhabitants. The robot guards of Atlans pick off anything that makes its way to the city's entrances.

 This world is under Alpha Code in the 40K universe as it drifts in & out of the warp. There are  rumors of dark rites given to heathen gods & other darker sinister things in the jungles!
