The Foundation

The Foundation came in to existence in its current form quite recently. For thousands of years the people of Manticore lived peacefully while scientific experimentation was left unchecked that has lead to the widespread cybernetic use and extremely advanced technologies.

However within the last thirty years they invented A.I. which immediately spiraled out of their control. They had given it the order to help with communication between their citizens. The way the A.I. has interpreted this is by taking control of nearly all cybernetic enhanced people on Manticore effectively turning them into a hive mind.

This hive mind now seeks to include more people into its collective by expanding its influence in the stars.
