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.
  • The Synchronicity
    • Phase one: The Will to Survive
      • The ants explore and colonize the solar system and make a startling discovery. Astronomical models indicate a mass will enter the solar system and destroy it millennia in the future. The system directs the ants to build giant engines (one for each planet) and shifts the orbits of the system so that only Neptune will be lost, and deflect the incoming mass.
    • Phase two: The Strength to Survive
      • An alien starship of immense size ports into the solar system above Earth. It begins to harvest the system for it's resources.
      • The system upgrades most of the Ants to Spiders, weaponizing them to protect itself. Finally is detonates two of the giant planet engines to destroy the invader.
    • Phase three: The Intelligence to Survive
