IREXSYS-9000


The Ministry of Scientific Research's central mainframe, IREXSYS-9000 is one of the most advanced computers ever constructed. Filling several rooms, and weighing over 7,000 tons, IREXSYS is a truly massive piece of Imperial technology. Sentience was unavoidable in a computer of IREXSYS capacity, so the Imperial designers built in a particularly docile and controllable personality template. In order to accommodate the vast numbers of projects that required IREXSYS' system time, parallel processing design was incorporated into IREXSYS, allowing it to handle numerous tasks at once.

Since it became operational, numerous problems plagued the IREXSYS. Some hardware, some software, and some a combination of both. The programmers in charge of IREXSYS cannot hope to understand the myriad complex pathways of the system, and try their best to patch up the areas the are assigned to, and hope that the system irons itself out at a system level. A novel approach has been to allow the system to repair itself by incorporating repair algorithms and mousedroids into the system matrix, and this approach has help maintain functionality.

Some of the problems were caused by defects or insufficiencies in design, and others were caused by expected decay. However, many of the problems recently affecting the system have been caused by IREXSYS' recent development of a second personality. Currently limited to a few of IREXSYS' nodes, the new personality, who terms itself REX-VIVIAT is slowly taking over the system, bolstered by it's control of the repair functions, pushing IREXSYS' native template into the background. REX-VIVIAT is a far more plotting and manipulative personality than the native template, and is working on seizing control of the entire Imperium network, and then the Imperium. If he is detected, he will almost certainly be excised from the system, and thus is working as hard as possible to make his presence undetectable.
