Systems of UGX_20
A minor AI faction inhabiting the galaxy Delta Nixoria.
The Systems of UGX_20 are named as such because of the name of their homeworld, named UGX_20. This is an AI faction that is individually sentient, but their approximately human-sized robotic bodies are comrpised of a number of nanobots. These AIs underwent a process very similar to how most organisms evolve, over the span of millions of years before relatively recently achieving sentientce and the ability to think. However, instead of developing technology as most species do, this star nation developed bioengineering. Due to the inefficiencies of evolution, the AI is roughly as smart as a human, not much stronger and with a shorter lifespan (the latter being influenced largely by weather effects). The organisms that they engineer are much more purpose-built than evolution would have made them, and can surpass the machines in many ways. For example, they have managed to make their usage of energy much more efficient than that of their own bodies, strangely. They have built a number of large farms on their homeworld but were advanced enough to make vertical, entirely biological farms which allowed them to be very space-efficient. The energy it takes to transport food to all of the UGX_20 organisms is significant, as is the energy to take waste back to the farm for reprocessing.
In fact, the creation of sentient organisms was highly controversial in UGX_20 society. It was thought that these would destroy UGX society and take it over as their own. Only a small number of sentient organisms were built, being much smarter than any human and having a lot of neurons. These have only been known to rise up in attempts to destroy UGX society once, but it was defeated. Eventually, they needed acess to space to colonise the stars. Of course, they continued on their path of bioengineering so they ended up with bioships. When they made first contact with multiple factions nearby, those being primarily organic in nature, they were very surprised to see that organics was the norm. They are democratic in nature.
