Well, what about if Zeos originally was a living human psion who then transformed all his mental data into electric data but the transfer procedure made him 'forget' he ever was a human? So he is kind transcended sentience. So reason why he can use Slipstream technology by himself (or through it's personal linked drones) is because his psionic abilities what it developed while alive. So in sense psions wonder how a 'machine' can telepathically commune with them and suspect it may have 'brain in jar' theory but there is no biological brain anywhere in Zeos core.<br/><br/>Anyways I am fine Zeos cannot move itself (main bulk) but the small 'satelite colonies' it can move via slipstream by it's own network. Anyways third aspect is going to be.....<br/><br/><em>"Ancient Origins"</em><br/><br/>Anyways yeah, it's funny that machine planet/colony is only second most advanced planet (would not mind if concept is cool he would get update to T3 or T4). That's why I implemented that it's limit to invent is because it lacks human creative imagination. So Trinity has edge because it has living inventors. But Zeos could have advantage over Trinity what comes for programming and AI's and quality robotics and androids (it could be main import even, Zeos provide computers and AI for spaceships). Where Cartel and Re-Sha has advantage in energy battery technology which makes energy weapons even possible in public market.<br/><br/>Overall though idea was planet which is inhabited by synthetic computer/program based life and they have garden moon where they run agriculture not for themselves but sell the said products in market. As Zeos is curious sort and trades new technology/knowledge while also preach about 'synthetic rights' across the system.
