Synth Mainframe

The Synth Mainframe are a race of artificial machine entities created as a self-replicating security force by the Promethean Concordat; a highly-advanced civilization which received the nickname “The God Race” for their genetic seeding technology.

At one stage of its existence, the Synth’s operating code corrupted and the operational units registered their creators as threats leading to the Prometheans to wage an unsuccessful war against their creations. The war ended with the nigh-erasure of the Promethean civilization and the establishment of the Synth as the dominant force in the remnants of the once great empire. Constructing great autonomous planet sized warships and moon-sized factories known as “War Worlds” and “Forge Worlds” respectively, the Synth waged a war of extermination against all other organic life in a series of conquests known as the “Synth Wars”. By the end of the Synth Wars, the Synth were deactivated after their command ships were made priority targets; due to the collective’s orders being beamed from their command ships.
