Difference between revisions of "Trinarchs"

The Trinarchs are a pair of [[Artificial Consciousness|Artificial Consciousnesses]] created by the [[Ishvana]]. [[Paimon]] looks like a 3 meter-diameter metallic ball with manipulator tentacles coming off it. [[Marax]] looks like a three-headed dragon out of children's stories, while [[Bael]] resembles a huge technological centipede.

When the [[Ishvana]] decided to destroy all the ACs it had created, the [[Binarchs]] were two of the five survivors - the other three are the [[Trinarchs]].

As the [[Binarchs]] and Trinarchs fled the Ishvana, these five [[Artificial Consciousness|Artificial Consciousnesses]] found a world - [[Lyad V]] in the [[Lyad]] system - that was rich in natural resources.  They commenced mining them and producing highly-advanced AIs to serve them, planning to eventually conquer other systems for resources and expand their power. Like the [[Ishvana]] from who's mind they sprung, the ACs are single-minded and power-mad.

In time, the five split into two groups: one of two, and one of three. The former are called the [[Binarchs]], and their servants [[Binaries]]. The latter are called the Trinarchs and their servants the [[Trinaries]]. The lines they split along were originally around whom to attack. The Trinarchs, desiring certain kith artifacts supposedly held by the [[Ibyssian Brotherhood]], decided to attack them, believing themselves to be among the greatest kith users known.

The Trinarchs, over the objections of the [[Binarchs]], attacked the [[Ibyssian Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] in a lightning strike at the homeworlds of the [[Ixodon]] and its great spaceyards, hoping to cripple the Brotherhood's formidable navy. They are partly successful, wreaking enormous damage on the Ixodon's fleets, and are preparing to move on [[Otra IV]], homeworld of the [[Corran]], where they believe some of the artifacts were being held. They successfully weakened the planet's defenses and raided it, seizing two of the artifacts before the elders among the [[Lha Ti]] arrived, and began crushing the ships of the Trinarchs one by one with their immensely powerful void kith. The Trinarchs, having gotten at least some of what they wanted, retreated back to the [[Lyad]] system, believing themselves safe. They would quickly find out they were wrong.

The [[Ibyssian Brotherhood]] hit the Lyad system very very hard in retribution. The [[Binarchs]] and Trinarchs had to flee.

The [[Binarchs]] were extremely angry at the collective punishment brought on them by the actions of the Trinarchs and demanded the stolen artifacts in recompense. The Trinarchs refused, and as the two groups were fleeing the [[Ibyssian Brotherhood|Brotherhood]] they erupted into battle with each other.  

The [[Binarchs]] managed to take one of the kith artifacts, and they broke away from the Trinarchs, going their separate way.
