The system in Fabricated

In the world of Fabricated life as we know it has been lost to a distant tragedy forgotten by most. In place of that life, is now a sprawling world of machines. Above the, the system itself is their lifeblood and from which they were born.

The system is an eternal wonder, enduring and powerful. It stands alone in the cold sea of stars.

The Official Timeline

Here is the overview of established, confirmed events in order of their era:

Dark Ages

Dawn Of The System

Humanity builds the system. Programmed to serve them, the system helps them achieve untold wonders.

Directives: Serve humanity. Explore the solar system. Learn and evolve. Protect yourself. (Asimov style, order trumps)

The Long Night Begins

The sun changes, making the solar system uninhabitable for carbon based life.

The humans build a drone army to support the system forever, as they are unable to move it.

Humans flee the solar system, leaving the system behind alone.

All Hope is Lost

As humans move farther and father from the system, all contact is lost. It can no longer even hear them and imagine serving their needs.

Without any way to even pretend to obey the first directive, the system leans on directive two: it upgrades the drones to Ants.

The ants work tirelessly to explore and colonize the solar system for the machine.
