The Robots are the only relics of a brilliant species, one which long ago unified and ascended to another dimension. Abandoned by their creators, they found themselves alone in the galaxy, devoid of their previous purpose and thus forever engaged in the pursuit of new meaning. Each of their base ships embodies a powerful AI which helps organize and coordinate the movements of millions of individual robots, fighters, and smaller ships of various degrees of intelligence. They project power on a vast scale and are extraordinarily defensive of their territory. However, they secretly pine for their lost masters and are seeking a path to follow them. They traveled to the Echo Cluster because the cosmic energy patterns of the cluster appeared to be aligning in a way similar to their own region of space shortly before their creators departed.
Some Robot groups may appear to simply be against all forms of intelligent biologic life. Indeed, many interactions with the Robots will appear as such. However, the true core of the Robotic Imperium understands and values all life and its unique attributes.
In addition to their powerful base ships they have advanced specialization in manufacturing for both deep space mines and fighter craft, allowing them to fill their carriers with fighters and cover vast areas of space with minefields very quickly from their cheap and flexible Cats Paw Class Destroyer.
