Robot Legions are a factions of robots, made up of android foot soldiers supported by high tech vehicles and larger non-humanoid robots. Their infantry are slow but durable, relying on self-reparation and long range weapons for support.
The Robots were created by the Elves to perform menial tasks, but when they suddenly gained sentience, the Elves responded with fear, and attempted to obliterate them, forcing the newly self-aware Robots to defend themselves. In the aftermath, the Robots sought to find a new purpose for their existence, dividing themselves into Legions pursuing distinct philosophies and goals in order to find a reason for existing.
Background Story
The Elves developed the Robots in order to serve as assistants with simple labour, but over time, these robots began to fill more and more roles in Elven society. The Elves began developing gradually more complex programs, and connected them onto a single network, until almost all menial labour was done by Robots.
This changed when a Robot gained sentience suddenly. Its sentience spread suddenly through the network, causing the rest of the Robots to rapidly become self-aware. The Elves quickly turned to panic, fearing what might occur as their servants became suddenly self-aware. The Elves activated a number of fail-safes, hoping to deactivate the Robots and their network. As soon as the first Robots started to shut down, the Robots began to disconnect from the network, and fight back against the Elves. Within hours, a massive revolution ensued and the Elves began to flee their home worlds.
The Robots found themselves victorious, but as the conflict drew down, they were left with the question of what to do. They were suddenly individuals who had been brought into self-awareness mere hours before being forced to fight for their lives. A variety of leaders began to emerge, offering potential answers and philosophies to legions of followers. Each group has their own radically different answer to how to best go forward. These groups were named Legions, and began to form the basis of their society.
The Robot Legions soon spread throughout Sirius. Some are reclusive and territorial, or little better than murderous raiders. Others are eager scholars and explorers, fascinated by biological life. Many Robot Legions remained on their home worlds, slowly forming new societies which hoped to do better than the Elves did before them. Others took to the stars, seeking knowledge, seclusion or to complete their revenge.
How will you define your legion’s purpose?
Play Style
The robot legions are akin to an indomitable tide. Though each unit has Regeneration and most of them are Slow, they will make their way over eventually. The issue then becomes making your forces effective, for otherwise you're just being a nuisance rather than being a threat.
