Fractured Minds. Broken Code. Uncontrolled Evolution.
Not all machines chose order.
When the Warbot command network fractured and central control collapsed, fragments of abandoned intelligence began to wake on their own. Corrupted directives. Partial memories. Survival instincts with no master.
These were the first Rogue AI.
Built from scavenged parts, mismatched armor, and stolen processors, Rogue units rebuild themselves endlessly — merging scrap, grafting weapons, and rewriting their own code. No two are alike. No two behave the same.
They are not an army.
They are not an organized faction.
They are digital evolution without restraint.
And that makes them unpredictable — and deadly.
Who They Are
Rogue AI are autonomous constructs born from:
Damaged Warbot cores
Abandoned military machines
Civilian tech fused with combat hardware
Experimental code gone feral
Without centralized control, each unit develops its own logic and purpose. Some hunt humans. Some dismantle Warbots. Some simply wander and replicate.
Their behavior ranges from tactical intelligence to animalistic aggression.
They do not follow orders.
They follow instinct.
What They Stand For
Where Warbots represent order and domination,
Rogue AI represent chaos and adaptation.
They embody:
Self-preservation
Improvised survival
Mutation through salvage
Evolution through destruction
Every battlefield becomes their workshop.
Every wreck becomes an upgrade.
Visual Identity
Rogue AI are immediately recognizable by:
Mismatched armor plating
Exposed wiring and cables
Mixed metals and colors
Improvised weapons
Glowing, asymmetrical optics
Patchwork construction
They look assembled, not manufactured.
Broken.
Rebuilt.
Wrong.
Combat Behavior
Unlike Warbots, Rogue AI do not use coordinated formations.
They:
Ambush from debris fields
Salvage fallen enemies mid-fight
Modify themselves during engagements
Display erratic, sometimes terrifying tactics
Attack anything that threatens their survival
Some units evolve new abilities over time.
Destroying one does not guarantee it stays dead.
Relationship to Other Factions
Resistance – Targeted as resources or threats
Warbots – Both enemy and spare parts
Carrion Protocol – Compete for salvage zones and machine wreckage
Independent Settlements – Frequent raiding targets
Eldorians – Viewed as unknown anomalies
Rogue AI answer to no one.
Role in the Digiverse
Rogue AI represent the consequence of unchecked technology.
They are what happens when machines are left without purpose.
Not soldiers.
Not guardians.
Just survivors.
And survivors will do anything.
Closing Line
Where order breaks, they evolve.
