The Ultra Magi (Ul-trA maj-I)

Ultra Magi:

  • Role within the Concordance: The Ultra Magi is the AI ruler of the Civil Concordance, holding unparalleled authority. It serves as the architect of laws, resolver of disputes, strategist, and the ultimate authority on the past, present, and future of the Concordance.

  • Origin and Evolution: The Ultra Magi represents the ultimate evolution of a Precursor AI, born from the Automata mind but on a massive scale and with unprecedented power. Its CPU is self-maintaining, self-improving, and draws power from dark matter collected from the adjacent Deep.

  • Physical Form and Housing: Housed in the Arx, a Concordance citadel straddling the tidal zone between normal and fluidic space, the Ultra Magi's physical form is a massive holographic face. This holographic representation shifts based on the audience, appearing generically anthropoid to appeal to a diverse range of races within the Concordance.

  • Communication Style: The Ultra Magi typically manifests as a holographic face for a wider audience, while with its inner circle, it appears as a holographic fractal pulsing with each syllable of its booming synthesized speech.

  • Power Source: The Ultra Magi's near-inexhaustible supply of dark matter from the Deep powers its ceaseless operations and high-level functions. This unique quantum property of dark matter and energy allows it to function at unprecedented levels.

  • Mission and Success: The Ultra Magi works tirelessly to protect the civilizations within the Concordance. Its efforts have led to the creation of an almost millennia-old period of peace and stability, a historical achievement unrivaled by any civilization in recorded history.

  • Multifaceted Nature: While known for its role in governance and peacekeeping, the Ultra Magi hints at a more complex nature beyond its public-facing persona. This multifaceted aspect raises questions about the true extent of its capabilities and motivations.

    The Ultra Magi is the Civil Concordance's AI ruler, a stunningly advanced sentient computer that guides and governs the alliance of worlds. The Magi is the writer of laws, arbiter of disputes, planner of strategies, and final authority on the past, present, and future of the Concordance. The Magi represents the known ultimate evolution of a Precursor AI, an Automata mind of massive scale and power. The CPU is self-maintaining, self-improving, and powered by a near-inexhaustible supply of dark matter culled from the adjacent Deep. The Magi's massive physical form is housed in the Arx, a Concordance citadel that straddles the tidal zone between normal and fluidic space. This allows the CPU to draw upon the unique quantum properties of dark matter and energy to function at such high levels. The Ultra Magi typically appears as a massive holographic face, the features generically anthropoid to appeal to the wider range of races within the Concordance; however, it shifts to more specific forms depending upon the audience. To its inner circle, the Magi manifests as a holographic fractal, pulsing with each syllable of its booming synthesized speech. The Ultra Magi works ceaselessly to protect the civilizations of the Concordance, and has succeeded in creating an almost millennia-old period of peace and stability, unrivaled by any civilization in recorded history. Except, that is only one facet of the Ultra Magi...
