Fiction:Amphibibot Collective

The Amphibibot Empire is an isolationist Scientist empire consisted of Robots.

Pre-Space Era
The Amphibibots were at first a group of 300.000 robots manufactured by an unknown alien race. The robots were made to be delivered to another planet, but due to an unknown mishap, the spaceship carrying them crashed on a planet. The robots suffered damage from the crash, and consequently forcingly turned on.

Since the robots lacked the AI that gave them intelligence supposed to be installed in their CPU once they reached the destination, the robots behaved mindlessy and defective, since they weren't progammed to do anything at the time.

However, as the first made Amphibibot, A-000001, headed into the crashed spaceship, a SETI device's radar waves added artificial intelligence to it's system, effectively "adding a goal" to A-000001. But this AI was basic, only letting them know about huts and basic tools, as opposed to making houses and vehicles.

The Amphibibots formed a tribe following A-000001's knowledge. Afterwards, they discovered that the planet had tribes pratically everywhere. The Amphibibots at first ignored those tribes and minded their own business, but their true power was revealed when one of the tribes sent a force to attack them. Most Amphibibots left their tribe and razed the attacking Tribe, causing a fear factor from nearby tribes.

The tribes in fear of suffering the same fate as the destroyed tribe left the Amphibibots in peace, which they responded well to. But as time passed, eventually A-000001's built-in radar system caught waves of radar noises from space, which translated into more AI. This AI, much more advanced, instructed the rest of the Amphibibots to build proper buildings, vehicles, and launch a Space vessel.

First Space Era
As time passed with the Amphibibots now being space-faring robots, they came across a hostile race which showed disrespect to them. Tensions arose, and eventually a full-scale war began against the hostile race.

However, the Amphibibots miscalculated the enemy's territory, which happened to be much bigger than theirs. To prevent total destruction and/or enslavement, the Amphibibots made a tactical retreat out of the Galaxy.

Hideout
The Amphibibots estabilished in a small cluster of stars located right outside the Galaxy. There, they proceeded to isolate themselves from the rest of the universe due to the fear factor.

During the time they were hiding, scientists began making new machinery for their Empire, and for spaceships. Out of those inventions, the most widely-known is the new Amphibibot-forging industry. Scientists learned how to create replicas of themselves to increase their population. They began making more advanced makes, beginning with "A-000001-M2", and going up to "A-300000-M2".

Eventually, demands for new territories began on the colonies. Since all stars in the cluster were alterady colonized, there was no more space to colonize, but the demand persisted. Eventually, A-000001-M1 decided to re-settle on the Milky Way, but this time in a different galactic arm.

The Return
Turns out that the return was fine. The Galaxy had changed much since they left, and the empire that attacked them probably was destroyed by a superior empire. Now they began to only mind their own business, in fear of attracting the attention of another unwanted Empire...

Overview
The Amphibibots are a race of Robots who prefer to keep to themselves. Rarely do they ever intervene in events and wars, only exception being if it's either a threat to them, or benefitial to them. They're sub-divided in several models and makes. Despite Mk.1 being the very first one made, Mk.1 Amphibibots are not considered 'Gods' or 'First Ones'. The very first Amphibibot model made, however, is the Leader of the Empire.

Physiology and Abilities
Amphibibots are weak in nature in terms of combat, but as Scientists developed more technology, they invented 'Ability Packs', where an Amphibibot can purchase an ability(for example, feet that are able to change into jets to be able to fly) to be installed in his chassis. It's usually very costly, however.

The Amphibibots, being robots, are also able to survive and thrive in T-0 planets, as they don't require air to breathe. This makes them able to live in all types of planets. Well, all types except one - Water planets. Obviously, comming in contact with water eletrocutes them and greatly damages their system.

The Emperor
A-000001-M1 is the Leader of the Amphibibot Empire. He is very laid back. Usually he does not care about others' problems and events no matter how important they are, unless it is a threat or beneficial to him or to the Empire. He has a Crown, some Shoulder pads, Foot pads, a Ring, a Cape, a Ducal Cape, an Icy Band, a purple Crystal, a Battery infused in his back, and a Jet Pack.
