- Darwinbots: An enigmatic group of Von Neumann probes created by a human-based group who has, seemingly, vanished. Their name is not their true name, but was given to them due to their ability to adapt to many, many situations, and how they act like a bastardized form of life. A colony of them exists in the equivalent of the Oort Cloud in this system. They have a crude write up on my machine, and will get their own page eventually.
- Post-Insanity Event: An unnamed transapient, who was previously the one who terraformed this world, decided to... unleash hell on this world by creating various genetically engineered abominations. The worst introduction was a biomechanical organism derived from Darwinbot code and rat stem cells.
- Post-Interventionist Event: The world would be wrestled out of the other transapient's hands, and put in the care of another, more powerful one, who decided to act as a rudimentary caretaker god. To try and clamp down on the abominations created, various organisms were introduced with the hopes of slowing down a worst-case scenario event, if it does happen, which is a biomechanical grey-goo event. In addition, they planted a kill-switch device within the crust of the planet, powered by geothermal heat, so that should the worst happen, it can be activated. On top of this, a radiation-powered beacon that signals in all directions instructions on how to turn on the kill-switch was planted in a lava tube of the largest moon. This beacon was created should the new transapient no longer be capable of caring for the world, and contains the capacity to broadcast such news, as well.
- Kill-Switch: A massive, geothermal powered device under the crust of the planet, that if activated, unleashes a massive EMP across the planet and extends to as far as the orbit of Constrictor, allowing it to be used to deter mostly machine-based hostiles, or if the Darwinbot colony gets any ideas.
- Beacon: Hidden under the surface of Dimple-Surface, this constantly sends out a signal on how to activate the Kill-Switch should the biomechanical beings introduced here evolve into a grey goo form. This also contains ways of sending out other signals, such as if the current resident pseudo-caretaker god suddenly becomes incapable of helping out the planet in question.
