Nanophage Faction

When the Nanophage was first created it had no mind or will of its own. The Progenitor who created the Nanophage sought only to find a way to fight the darkness that threatened to end the universe and they knew it. But the others of his kind feared that the creation would turn on them. To prove them wrong the creator allowed his body to be enveloped by the devouring machines.

Living Steel
The original Nanophage in its un-altered form. Sentient liquid mercury. Modern science calls it grey goo but it is a writhing, flowing, mass with purpose. The original mind of the Progenetor who created the Nanophage is used as a face of intelligence, but only a shadow of that mind and personality truly remain.

Home World
The living steel has no home world. It was imprisoned on a world with a star that was converted into a black hole. But when the world was torn apart by the tidal waves of the black hole the Living Steal was freed. The Living Steel now travel the stars in a massive ship built from the shards of the dying world with the burning core as its engine.

Government
The Living Steel Nanophage is a hive-mind ruled by a single sentient entity. All thought and will is directed by this one intelligence. But as the Living Steel forces get farther from the hive-mind new comand nodes are created. These nodes are created from those minds that the Nanophage have consumed.

Legion
When William Kade discovered the world that the Nanophage was created he unleashed the ancient weapon created by the Progenitors. But he was not destoyed by it. Instead he forced his will to take over the mind that controlled this version of the Lving Steel.

Home World
The Legion dwell on the world now known as Izvorul.

Government
The Legion is a monarchy ruled by High Lord William Kade. Those that live on this world are slaves to the semi-dead lord who keeps them so that he may feed. Billions live here and are force bread to sustain the lives of the Legion.
