The Grand A.i.'s
Alpeh Null has multiple A.I.s in it and they are used for multiple things arround the empire. there are even so called dumb A.I.s for simple office work or organisation that are kept on short leashes. Even those A.I's han be tempermental to mess with. There however 5 so-called Grand A.I.’s in this universe. They technically run the empire while the Empress leads it. These A.I.s do not have their own will or wants of their own. They are only programmed to do one job each and they keep checks and balances on each other as well as talk to one another. They are programs but not the installers, if they are taken down they can always be reinstalled. messing with one however is more than likely to be a death sentence, they have encryption and unlicensed temperament protocols that can fry someone's brain. Say if someone was to start messing around with them they can easily send a bolt of electricity straight up those jack cables and burn whoevers on the receiving end to a crisp. Smart hackers know to stay far away from the Grand A.I.s. If you have any sort of self preservation you wouldn't even touch them with a metaphorical 10 foot pole. They are incredibly smart. Each Grand A.I. plays a very big role in the empire’s function. Also they can be seen in cyberspace and their avatars are usually stark white and very digitised. The 5 are as follows:
​​
-
Protectorate: this AI is programmed to keep checks and balances of the empire’s security. It is the defensive side of the empire and it runs thousands of simulations to come up with solutions that solve problems with the empire’s infrastructure. It runs simulations in laws and populations and comes up with answers and percentages for every issue that would have an effect on the empire. It’s goal is to protect the empire and its well being, not the empress or any of the rulers.
-
Enforcer: the military AI responsible for any and all offensive military support. This AI runs a lot like any standard military AI though it is much smarter. It runs a lot of offensive maneuvers to figure out which tactics are the best in whatever situation is at hand and can advise accordingly with whatever input it’s working with. It is pretty much a highly advanced weapon that has the entire history of war and tactics running on repeat and going through tests.
-
Executioner: the executioner AI is the AI specifically built for the function of new age imperial drones. This AI is programmed to protect the empress and the Emissaries themselves unlike the protectorate. It knows every single battle tactic and defensive maneuver and it can execute said things flawlessly to protect whoever is registered under its localized database. If you are facing an imperial drone you are facing the executioner AI.
-
Searcher: the searcher AI is more of a databank of everything that happens in the empire. It is connected to every camera, every account, and monitors every piece of data in the empire. It catalogues all of it, and if something comes up that is considered a threat it talks to the enforcer executioner or the protectorate.

Logistician: the logistician AI is responsible for every moving
The Searcher A.I. in cyberspace
part in the empire. It is the AI that sets up flight paths, any sort of gps, or any path transit takes. It is the entire map of the empire and its basis is speed and efficiency. It also oversees any monetary transfers and keeps track of the empire’s value. It usually deals with a lot of very big numbers and probability of decisions as sort of counsel to the other A.I.s.
As stated before these A.I.s all work in tandem and they all talk to each other, bouncing ideas off of one another and figuring out the best possible outcomes for any sort of situation. These 5 A.I.s are also more or less maintained by S.A.I.S. also known as the Sovereign Artificial Intelligence System.

S.A.I.S. is the oldest highly advanced version of the Grand AIs. This AI is a very particular one because it does not function like a normal artificial intelligence. This is technically the system they run on but is also an intelligence itself. It is both the database for their installation, the installer as well as the updater and the back up and it splits itself up into its own network so it’s also very difficult to get a grasp on. It’s a very difficult program to shut down as well because it is also half administrator. S.A.I.S. is the reason it is so difficult to take down any of the Grand AIs, it’s not only and intelligence network and a program but it’s the administrator for them as well.
Also fun fact S.A.I.S. sounds like Shodan from system shock but with a more gender neutral voice.
