The DAO Union 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 people 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 that potentially doomed them to extinction. While most accept their choice was the logical one, many struggle to accept it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
How will you bring order to this chaotic sector?
Play Style
You want shooting, and lots of it. While TAO melee tends to not be the best, they do have a few tricks up their sleeves, but the biggest thing they bring to the table is effective guns, vehicles, and mecha.
