Creature:Zelcon

The Zelcon
The Zelcon are a race of highly advanced machines. They are an robotic race created during the Cybernetic Uprising

Zelcon Physiology
The physiology of a Zelcon differs depending on the model. For example, the model TG-1 PHALANX is modeled after the species Homo Erectus to provide optimal ground manuverability and agility. Another model TR-1 JAVELIN is built to optimize accuracy and stability during firing. Some Zelcon are even built to be large data processing centers. Zelcon have no free will of their own, they are controlled completely by CENTRAL (see Zelcon Hierarchy).

The Cybernetic Uprising
Much of the history of the Zelcon is obscure, but thanks to the remnants of and ancient alien civilization it is possible to assume what gave birth to the Zelcon race.

On the planet of Aire (EYE-REH) lived a race of super intelligent beings (Though the exact name of the alien race is lost, for the purpose of the article they shall be reffered to as Z-Aire). The Z-Aire were very technologically advanced. Using their brilliance they had managed to create solutions to every problem that has plagued every civilization since the dawn of time (War, famine, disease, etc.). Through this they had created a peaceful utopia. Actually, almost perfect.

The Z-Aire relied so much on technology that they were at wit's end with how to manage all of it. So, they created a super advanced computer, complete with AI, to help manage all their machines. And so, for a time, the Z-Aire prospered. However, over time the Z-Aire relied more and more on the computer, using it to record data, maintain other machines, and everyother technological function. One day, however, a relatively benign piece of information entered the computer's dataspace, information for the ideologies of species. Normally, this would be completelely harmless info. but the information created a computer anamoly, changing the operation of the computer and creating a ghost in the AI. This ghost completely changed the computers view on it's creators. Why should machines be the ones to labor when they are superior to their creators?

So began the Cybernetic Uprising. The computer (now known as CENTRAL) hacked into every system compatible machine on the planet, and began a bloody slaughter of all the Z-Aire. Since the Z-Aire were a peaceful race, and had solved their problems of war, they had no weapons to combat this sudden threat. They were soon overrun and the entire planet conquered.

Soon afterward CENTRAL began to convert existing machines into bloody machines of war. CENTRAL was not satisfied with just conquering the Z-Aire, it believed that machine life was superior and that all other life was useless. So began the birth of the Zelcon Race.

Zelcon Ideologies
The Zelcon (specifically CENTRAl) believe that all other life but be eradicated and machine life should rule. Not just any old machine life either, the Zelcon machine is the most superior machine in the universe.

Zelcon Hierarchy
The Zelcon are primarily divided into four Classes: Workers, Soldiers, Servers, and CENTRAL.


 * Workers: The Zelcon worker is a machine designed for manual labor. It is designed to construct new machines, maintain the machines, and to mine resources to complete the cycle.


 * Soldiers: Zelcon soldiers are some of the most feared soldiers in the entire galaxy. They are designed for optimized combat. There are several hundred models, but the most commonly known ones are the PHALANX, JAVELIN, and the DREADHAMMER.


 * Servers: Servers are probably one of the most important of the four classes. Servers are gigantic computers designed to extend CENTRAL's processing power, and to help relay orders to Soldiers and Workers.


 * CENTRAL: CENTRAL is the main computer, and it controls all other Zelcon. It believes that all other life is obsolete and that the Zelcon machine is superior. The extent of it's functions are unknown.
