Fiction:Objektirokh Domain

"Technology reigns supreme. We need more... and we shall get it!"

- AI Overseer

The Raikors, part of the Objektirokh Domain, are a Tier 2 force currently in the first Gigaquadrant. They are known for their malevolent ways of posession of technologies and people, and are feared by nearby empires.

They are mostly known for Parikosh, a technology that allows a Raikor to posess any electronic device and use it as a weapon or shield. If an organic being has any electronic implants that connect to his brain, he can also be posessed against his will. Parikosh is the reason the Objektirokh Domain is feared, as Raikors have a goal of posessing every electronic device in the Universe.

History
The Domain of Objektirokh has existed since -75108 KRE, and it formed when their AI Overseer demanded an unified Raikor Empire to begin the search for higher technology. Back then, Parikosh was mere sci-fi, and the Raikors were laughed at by their neighbours as the Raikors demanded technology.

One day, a scientist discovered a special type of laser code that could incentivate circuits to behave as the posesser saw it will - This was known as Parikosh, meaning "Savior Tech". Its first use was in a neighboring enemy mothership, commanded by the AI, though slightly less accepted by the people. Using Parikosh, the Raikors posessed the ship and crashed it into the sun of the enemy's homeworld, weakening it and leaving the homeworld's inhabitants to die. As they salvaged more and more tech from their neighbours, Parikosh was improved, and slowly the Objektirokh Domain became feared across the sector. Even though the people and the Overseer share diffrent opinions on courses of action, the people work under the AI's guidance, heeding its orders, seeking more tech, their goal being ultimate dominance...

Raikors and Posessed Slaves
Raikors are synapsid beings who have 2 arms and 2 legs, a dragon-like head with some long hair in the back of the head, and are quite muscular in appearance. Raikors have all kinds of augmentations, as "A Raikor without augmentations is an animal". Raikors are not prone to posessions as most Raikor tech is Parikosh-proof.

Raikors have posessed several beings in diffrent places on their quest for ultimate technological dominance.

Dantirborealkor
As a Dantirboreale colony ship arrived to a Domain planet, they were amazed at the fact that the planet was barren yet people lived there comfortably. They wanted to know how they did this, and they told them - In exchange for 90% of the crew. Augmented and posessed through Parikosh, the Dantirborealkor are agile, very fast and they can serve as turrets with a special augmentation.

Mantokor
An Empire of Halloway fleet came across a Raikor fleet, and the Raikors, seeing new tech on the Hallowanian ship, attacked it, took the ship, and captured the crew, augmented it and posessed it through Parikosh. They are mostly used as cannon fodder.

Add your slaves?

Culture
The Domain is a very technological empire, and its people live quite hedonistically, enjoying the pleasures of technology, while the AI Overseers order the capture of alien technology to further the Domain's goals.

The Domain is ruled by an Overseer, who is a hyper-advanced AI who oversees all of the Domain's worlds. Each world has a sub-overseer, and 10 guiders, which speak to the people on behalf of the Overseers. Overseers can control crime and other aspects of the Domain by using a special kind of Parikosh which neutralizes certain devices, or even people, since all Raikors have augmentations which connect to the brain. The AI is also in charge of military action. Parikosh is widely used to use household appliances and control common vehicles. Tech for consumers have a code in which only its original user can Parikosh it.

New Raikors are either born or cloned. Both get all information they need uploaded to their brains as soon as they are created. Raikor children are sheltered and prohibited to go to the outside world until they are old enhough to get augmentations. Until then kids use normal tech and can only go to certain places. Parikosh is the last thing all Raikors learn before they start normal lives.

Raikors have many kinds of mechs which can't be parikoshed and have to be controlled by hand. They also have a versatile military, so versatile that even chainswords are used. Raikors also use their slaves as weapons. Raikors have a sport called Mrashm, which is where 2 Raikors have 5 parikoshable devices which they use to fight each other. To win, one has to kill the other Raikor. The loser gets reborn in a new body.

Parikosh
Parikosh is a laser coding device which allows almost all electronic devices to be posessed and taken over by the mind of the Parikosheer. It may work through xrays, spasers or quantum lasers. Parikosh works through a laser which, in contact with a circuit or other point of connection, sends its own commands to the device, thereby overriding the original commands and replacing them with the Parikosheer's.

Parikosh devices are implanted into a Parikosheer's mind, and through focus and willpower, a Parikosheer can control a technological device. Parikosh can affect creatures too if they are augmented with a posession device in their brains, or if they have electronic limbs which connect directly to the brain, like bionic eyes.

Parikosh affects almost all kinds of electronics, from Toasters to Planet Busters to Computers. It doesn't affect most Raikor tech though, because it is Parikosh-proof, since it cancels out outside lasers.
