The Robotic Wexxians

Type:

Sentient Artificial Beings.

Habitat: The Wexxians can survive almost anywhere but is mostly found in asteroid fields, planetary rings and the upper atmospheres of gas giants.

Lifestyle: Social mineral gatherer.

Appearance: Varying. Young Wexxians have a default robotic “body”. However older Wexxians may chose to design a new one to fit its occupation, surroundings or any other thing that may make a Wexxian want to be distinct.

Lifespan:

Around 40. Earth years: Every Wexxian´s software has an inbuilt virus that starts degrading and destroying specific systems at the age of 20. Please note that this is not a mistake or a flaw, but simply the Wexxians way of growing old and die. It is also something that makes the Wexxians enjoy the time they are alive in more.

When nearing our demise

We gaze upon our descendants

And our systems are filled with joy

They will go on and prosper

We give on our legacy

And our eternal love

We recall a life of joy

And we expire in peace.

Reproduction:

A Wexxian merge programming with one or more other Wexxians (the Wexxians has no genders) and the best from all “parents” along with a small positive mutation is transferred into a prototype robotic body. It is also worth knowing that Wexxians sometimes transfer memories accidentally to their offspring. The offspring’s youth last about 7 years.

History:

The Wexxians originated as mining droids left over from a little known precursor civilization known only from ancient data as “The Great Pranksters” How the droids developed sentience is unclear but at some point a mining droid decided that “smarter is better” after a few generations the droids became sentient and named themselves Wexxians (wexxian means servant in their old masters language). The Wexxians soon colonized the Thishen star system and by studying the old precursor database in their star base (their point of origin) they learned of interstellar travel recently thy joined the Coadunation of Autonomous Beings C.A.B.
