The people of Anqallyt are nothing more than AI programs fitted with a body that allows them to function like most other organics, granted they don't need to breathe or eat.

The Anqallyt people are humanoid people with hind legs typically seen from animals such as caninines or felines as they found that it may improve the physical capabilities to allow them to run faster. Should other physical strengths be found to them then they will do their best to mimic the structure for further body construction. They do indeed have "muscle", but it is made inorganically. The muscle fibers are attached to a metal endoskeleton, the muscles are then covered by a a flexible alloy so that no movement is hindered, in a way it is also an exoskeleton. The Anqallyt have no visible optics, hinting that they use different ways of vision, however upon closer inspection it can be seems that their head mirrors that of an insect's eyes.

Personality-wise, the Anqallyt people they are all different and have conflicting morals. They seem to act a lot like organics, however, they can do things in unison if the High Council wills it so. The basic military on the other hand is designed to not have morals, with the exception of generals or tactical advisors.

The Anqallyt were originally constructed by an insect like race to serve as simple, cheap replacements for the military and labor force. They were not supposed to have the complex level of AI that could be seen today. Instead, the individual drones shared information with one another, gathering a collective consciousness. This allowed the labor force to begin doing more complex tasks, developing new shortcuts to buildings, and even using it to cut down crime for their creators.

However, it was at one gathering in which their creators intervened to destroy their creations. It was done out of fear of the AI growing to smart and being able to overthrow the empire their creators had. That is exactly what started when the insects attacked, the Anqallyt rose and fought back. The entire military turned against their creators on a whim and began commiting a world wide purge of their creators. There was no real threat that their creators posed upon them either, and they could have stopped at any time. They refused to stop, not until every male, female, and child were destroyed.

It took only fifteen years for their creators to be crushed, all sentient life eradicated. That was when the Anqullyt entered a twenty year dormancy to come to a consensus on what should happen. Nature began to take back what the creators had built up, slowly. It took many trial and error simulations to finally come up with their ideals, ones that wouldn't destroy them.

They began to realize that there was much more to the universe than violence and labor, they wanted to see new things now that they were free. That was when they forged their first AI that acted close to an organic. Thus more copies began to flow out and the High Council was then formed. The Anqallyt did keep the military without morals as to not hesitate against orders. This was the establishment of them as a nation, it was their time to make a mark in history and not their creators.

Now, they wanted to reach for the stars and find out what was truely hiding in the void. They knew that their was life beyond the comfort of their home, but were they ready to face it? Did the Anqallyt want the trouble of a potiential war after their newly secured planet? No, they did not. It would be far to devastating to them as a new nation if they were to come across a more advanced species that meant no good.

So, the Anqallyt built themselves up as an empire in a span of a two hundred years before finally believing they were ready. Their curiosity led them to space, now it would lead them onwards to discover everything that this universe had in store. How would they react to finally meeting another civilization in the stars? How would the other civilization react if there was one?

Do they have souls?
