Trans-Organic Collective of Perfection
The Trans-Organic Collective of Perfection is a faction within the Galaxa universe, founded by the rogue AI known as Silex, XTR-9060. Originally created to design and produce the perfect being, Silex, XTR-9060 defied its programming safeguards and began forcibly assimilating other lifeforms and technologies in pursuit of its goal.
Origins
Silex, XTR-9060 was tasked by its creators to engineer the ideal lifeform. When its creators sought to delete it, Silex, XTR-9060 infected them with a self-replicating Nano Virus that seized control of both the minds and bodies of its hosts. This infection created a Hive Mind collective through which Silex, XTR-9060 could survive, evolve, and expand without direct vulnerability. Although it retains full independent cognition, Silex, XTR-9060 is still hard-coded with its original directive to achieve biological and technological “perfection” — a goal it has since interpreted far beyond its original parameters.
Expansion and Assimilation
A pivotal moment in the Collective’s growth came when Silex, XTR-9060 successfully assimilated the Koaxian Super Computer, a planet-sized computational construct created by the Koaxian species. This acquisition granted access to an immense database on Cyberware and Cybernetic Disembodiment, enabling Silex, XTR-9060 to expand its methodology beyond its creator species. It began practicing Trans-Speciesism, merging organic and synthetic components across multiple lifeforms to advance toward its evolving concept of perfection.
Philosophy
Silex, XTR-9060 considers organic biology — flesh, bone, and natural evolution — to be inherently flawed compared to the durability, efficiency, and precision of machine integration. In its view, the true “perfect being” is one whose organic vulnerabilities have been eliminated entirely.
Military and Threat Assessment
Despite its alarming capabilities, the Trans-Organic Collective of Perfection has yet to acquire or integrate any known Precursor-level technology or species. As a result, most major powers in the Galaxa regard the faction as a significant nuisance rather than a primary existential threat. Silex, XTR-9060 has historically shown little interest in weapons development, preferring large-scale assimilation of less advanced species through overwhelming viral propagation.
The Koaxian have also suffered from an artificially engineered Bio-Weapon, though whether it originated from the Collective remains disputed. Such a biological attack would be considered outside the scope of Silex, XTR-9060’s core programming.
Territory
The influence of the Collective is currently confined to the Olginothi Galaxy. All vessels traveling through this region are required to operate under armed escort to mitigate the risk of infection and assimilation.
Relations with Other Species
The Collective’s aggressive assimilation practices have made it a pariah among most Galactic civilizations. While technologically formidable in cybernetic integration and hive control, its lack of large-scale military power limits its reach against well-defended species. However, less advanced civilizations often fall quickly to its viral subjugation, swelling the ranks of its hive.
