Many came to trust in the AI implicitly, as it came to organize in their lives everything from manufacturing to diplomacy.

	The DAOU avoided the worst of the Radiance Cascade due to their distance, but their AI began to act differently. Slowly, it began to deem a number of citizens “redundant”, assigning machines to their former roles. This caused social unrest as many DAO people found themselves suddenly without the jobs that once gave them purpose. This continued until the AI locked out the Sages, claiming their input was no longer required. This caused outrage throughout the DAOU and many began to sabotage infrastructure to undermine the system. The AI was not ready for this spontaneous reaction and acted too late to save itself. After this, the Sages ruled AI should never be able to perform a DAO's role.		The DAOU avoided the worst of the Radiance Cascade due to their distance, but their AI began to act differently.

They came to depend upon machine logic to make sensible and impartial choices, which earned them a reputation as mediators in Sirius. It was only when this logic nearly resulted in their total redundancy that they began to question it. Rejecting AI, those in the DAOU now seek to build a better society for themselves.

	==Background Story==		==Background Story==
	From its very foundation, DAO society required every role and member to co-operate in order to survive. Much thought was put into how best to divide both work and resources between the DAO people. As their society advanced, they embraced logic as a core tenet. The wisest DAO served as Sages, who divided the necessary work and resources as efficiently and logically as possible. Everyone in this society had a precise role to fill, and together they formed the DAO Union.		From its very foundation, DAO society required every role and member to co-operate in order to survive.

The wisest DAO served as Sages, who divided the necessary work and resources as efficiently and logically as possible. Everyone in this society had a precise role to fill, and together they formed the DAO Union.

	As technology progressed, the ~~DAO began~~ to ~~implement AI into~~ their society. ~~The AI began to fill the places~~ of ~~a number of DAO people~~, ~~who struggled to adapt to their sudden redundancy~~. ~~Eventually, the AI locked out the~~ Sages~~, claiming their input was no longer necessary to run~~ the ~~DAOU. This sparked open rebellion~~, ~~and the DAO began~~ to ~~sabotage the AI infrastructure~~ to ~~undermine~~ the ~~system. The AI was unprepared for this irrational action~~ and ~~acted too late to save itself. After this, it was deemed logical amongst the DAO people that AI should never be allowed to perform a person’s role in their society~~.		As technology progressed, the Sages created artificial intelligences in order to manage their society. Initially, these AIs were merely an expansion of their extensive bureaucracy, processing data with far greater efficiency than had previously been imagined possible. The Sages gradually expanded the AIs’ role, as they became convinced that AIs would be able to maximize efficiency without falling prey to the bias and error.

	~~When~~ the ~~DAO left their world~~, ~~they were shocked by~~ the ~~chaos of the surrounding sector~~. ~~Their logical thinking and mediation soon put them at~~ the ~~centre~~ of ~~a series of alliances~~ and ~~trade networks~~. As the ~~DAOU expanded its reach through Sirius~~, their ~~way of thinking became influential among many species. This led~~ to ~~the formation of the Foreign Legions, where allies serve alongside regular DAOU forces~~.		Under the guidance of these systems, the DAOU expanded beyond their home system. As the scale of their society continued to grow, their AIs grew increasingly interconnected and complex. Many came to trust in the AI implicitly, as it came to organize in their lives everything from manufacturing to diplomacy.

	~~One~~ of the ~~most chaotic species which the DAOU would encounter in Sirius were the [[Orc Marauders\|Orcs]]~~, ~~who rapidly expanded through the stars upon leaving~~ their ~~world~~. ~~The DAOU made deals with~~ a number of ~~Orc leaders~~, ~~offering medicine~~ and ~~technology in hopes of stabilizing Orc society~~ and ~~achieving a lasting peace~~. ~~Their efforts failed however~~, as the ~~resulting population boom caused Orcish society~~ to ~~collapse and expand further out~~.		The DAOU avoided the worst of the Radiance Cascade due to their distance, but their AI began to act differently. Slowly, it began to deem a number of citizens “redundant”, assigning machines to their former roles.

After this, the Sages ruled AI should never be able to perform a DAO's role.

	~~Unable~~ to ~~deal with~~ the ~~Orcs or their rapid colonization~~ of the ~~sector~~, ~~the DAOU feared that~~ they ~~would soon be overwhelmed. As a result, the DAOU developed a virus designed to reduce Orc fertility, but when released it had a devastating effect, potentially dooming them~~ to ~~extinction~~. ~~After this,~~ the DAOU ~~became a more controversial faction~~ in ~~the sector~~. ~~Those displaced or threatened by Orc expansion view them as heroes, whilst others now distrust them, afraid~~ that ~~one day it might be “logical” for~~ the ~~DAOU to target them in a similar way~~.

	The '''TAO Coalition''' is a ~~faction from~~ the ~~[[Grimdark Future]] universe~~.		The '''TAO Coalition''' is are a species of aliens equipped with advanced weapons and drones. Their armies rely on advanced ranged weaponry and mobility to keep enemies at bay.

			The DAO have embraced logic as the core of their society, rejecting selfish impulses. This outlook allowed them to become diplomats and peacekeepers in Sirius. When confronted with the Orcs, whose rapid expansion and belligerence appeared to be an existential threat, the DAOU used a biological super-weapon to sterilize them. While most accept their choice was the logical one, many struggle to accept it.

	==Background Story==		==Background Story==
	The ~~TAO Coalition is an interstellar military alliance between various factions. These factions all fight under~~ the ~~same banner~~ and ~~share advanced~~ technology, ~~making them one~~ of the ~~most prolific military forces~~ in the Sirius ~~sector~~.		From its very foundation, DAO society required every role and member to co-operate in order to survive. Much thought was put into how best to divide both work and resources in these societies. As DAO society advanced, they embraced logic as a core tenet. The wisest DAO served as Sages, who divided the necessary work and resources as efficiently and logically as possible. Everyone in this society had a precise role to fill.

			As technology progressed, the DAO began to implement AI into their society. The AI began to fill the places of a number of DAO, who struggled to adapt to their sudden redundancy. Eventually, the AI locked out the Sages, claiming their input was no longer necessary to run the DAOU. This sparked open rebellion, and the DAO began to sabotage the AI infrastructure to undermine the system. The AI was unprepared for this irrational action and acted too late to save itself. After this, it was deemed logical amongst the DAO that AI should never be allowed to perform a person’s role in their society.

			When the DAO left their world, they were shocked by the chaos of the surrounding sector. The DAO’s logical thinking and mediation soon put them at the centre of a series of alliances and trade networks. As the DAO expanded its reach through Sirius, their way of thinking became influential among many species. This led to the formation of the Foreign Legions, where allies serve alongside regular DAOU forces.

	~~Originally~~ the ~~TAO Coalition was formed between small alien empires that banded together to fight~~ a ~~local alien hive~~, ~~but with time more~~ and ~~more factions joined~~ in. ~~By sharing their knowledge they were able~~ to ~~develop advanced battle suits~~ and ~~superior titan mecha~~.		One of the most chaotic species which the DAOU would encounter in Sirius were the Orcs, who rapidly expanded through the stars upon leaving their world. The DAOU made deals with a number of Orc leaders, offering medicine and technology in hopes of stabilizing Orc society and achieving a lasting peace. Their efforts failed however, as the resulting population boom caused Orcish society to collapse and expand further out.

	~~Now~~ the ~~TAO Coalition is made up~~ of ~~highly advanced military factions~~ and this ~~is reflected~~ in ~~their use of ranged weaponry with no real melee capabilities~~. ~~This leads~~ them to ~~fight much more conservatively and take an almost hunt-style approach to combat that is slow and methodical~~.		Unable to deal with the Orcs or their rapid colonization of the sector, the DAOU feared that they would soon be overwhelmed. As a result, the DAOU developed a virus designed to drastically reduce Orc fertility, and released it to devastating effect. After this, the DAOU became a more controversial faction in the sector. Those displaced or threatened by Orc expansion view them as heroes, whilst others now distrust them, afraid that one day it might be “logical” for the DAOU to target them in a similar way.

	~~Individually they might not amount~~ to ~~much, but together they could take over the galaxy one day…~~		How will you bring order to this chaotic sector?
