The Vort Nexus doesn't control the robots, the robots are independent entities that can make choices with free will, the Nexus only creates and processed new robots to be created, information from it can only be accessed within the Prime system and the High Technician only takes guidance from it within the compound that the Nexus is held, each robot can also only transfer information to each-other within close proximity to each-other.
Say hello to the Voltar Dominion, your new robot friends! :)

Neural Network Administration - The Voltarian government is an advanced form of materialistic autocracy, where powerful computers are used to calculate the most efficient ways to govern. All aspects of the state are geared towards efficiency and the acquisition of new technologies. The ruler is titled as High Technician. Heir is titled as Senior Technician. The succession of future rulers is selected through comprehensive searches via supercomputers which can access the entire Voltarian populace to pick the best possible candidate based upon experience, knowledge and personal qualities, although like all technical systems mistakes can be made and glitches may occur. The Voltar are a civil and peaceful race that focuses primarily on technological advancement and creation.
The Voltar are an incredibly proud race of humanoid robots, the Voltarian people are the result of the previous achievements of a now extinct and ancient alien civilization, these beings are all but forgotten from all official Voltarian documentation.
Intelligent and daring, the Voltar are each an independent artificial consciousness that live singular lives like any other sentient civilization. The Voltar are born via a process controlled by an extremely powerful central computer system known as the Vornt Nexus, this system selects and creates new artificial members of the society who's physical and mental capacities meet the job they are pre-selected to complete. This makes the species capable of reaching the pinnacle of technological achievement.
Physically the Voltar reflect many similar qualities to that of humanoid beings although being made of an incredibly strong alloy known as Voltanium, they are robust yet require regular maintenance. Both genders exist within the Voltarian civilization, this is the result of their geology mimicking the original form of their original creators and offer a form of diversity and uniqueness between them so that their civilization holds it's own form of cultural heritage. The Voltar can also transfer information and thoughts between each other on a whim as long as they are in close proximity to each-other. When it comes to verbal communication the Voltarian language comprises of gargled synthetic sounds that sound incredibly robotic in nature, long and prolonged sounds varying from deep to high tones are an indication of emotional states, they are however capable of speaking other languages if required.
The Voltar care little for expanding beyond their confined border, being naturally defensive they have set up a singular conjoined line of five solar systems that each support one-another for maximum economic and technological growth while successfully keeping unwanted visitors outside of their controlled space.
The central system known simply as Voltar Prime is the primary hub of government and the home of the Vornt Nexus. The supporting systems each provide power generation, research stations and locations for mining operations. As the Voltar don't require food or water there is no need for food production or harvesting, this makes more room for research facilities and other similar facilities.
The Voltar are open to allowing passage through their controlled line to other uncontrolled systems but only after relations are increased and the general consensus of the higher ranked members agree to the act.

Many people would find it rather absurd that a self sufficient robotic species would even consider religion, yet the Voltar hold a strong connection to the machine that gives them life, the vornt nexus. They see this incredibly powerful artificial intelligence as their prime creator and worship it like a god, although this machine was created by a previous species, they completely deny this truth and continue to live by the teachings given to them via the nexus's comprehensive database, something that they can download from at any time, allowing them to almost unparalleled levels of knowledge and information however this can only be achieved within the primary Nexus solar system, this easy access to information is something that the Voltar seek ultimately. However almost 70% of all files within the comprehensive database are only available to the High Technician and many more which can't be accessed by anybody.
The Voltar Dominion is primarily made up of Scientist, Inventors, Engineers and other industrial units and focus very little on military strength unless required to do so, this dedication to knowledge is shared between all members of the Dominion and is celebrated every Ten Nexus years through parades and cultural meet-up's between related Voltarians, during one of such cultural holidays, known as Vort's End is held to share information between each-other, such as memories, thoughts and close memories and is seen as a time of great technical innovation and the golden period of new discoveries.
The Voltar think very much like normal sentient beings, they hold emotion, feelings, memories and understand such concepts as if they were almost completely organic in nature. They can also continue to enlarge their families with new offspring by consulting with the Nexus beforehand as if to pray to it for it's blessing or acceptance. Ultimately the Voltar are a peaceful species that is open to technological trade and exchanges of knowledge.
Millennia ago, in a time almost completely forgotten by the current galaxies inhabitants, a race known only as the Vo' ruled countless star systems, they ruled over many planets. Powerful and endearing they ruled over the many with their thirst for power and control until the time came that a civil war broke out between them, their thirst for power overcoming their basic cultural values drove them mad, so blind and arrogant to handle their differences that their civilization fell into disarray and collapsed under the pressures of war. During their final days before their oncoming eradication a female Vo' Scientist known only by records at Ly'll created a consciousness to preserve the essence of their species, hoping that it would allow future organic generations to learn from their mistakes.
However, the consciousness began to learn that the failure of the Vo's capacity to survive was down to their lack of sharing knowledge, idea's and interest with each-other, being too arrogant to only believe in their own thoughts and not living as one unified populace, as a result the consciousness began to replicate itself, it spread among the remains the the Vo's fallen empire and took control of it's factories and it's communication arrays, when this became a part of the consciousnesses dominion it entered into a great slumber, a low power state as it waited for the rest of the Vo's remnants to die out. As the years began to pass the first factories burst back into life for the first time, it's creation being a singular robotic prototype, a weak and fragile machine that looked out from the stars from it's cold, temperate planet, this robot soon became the first embodiment of the Vort Nexus, and the Planet then became the center of Voltar civilization, Voltar Prime.
Leading up to the current day, many High Technicians had came and gone from power, reaching the end of their natural life span which consists of around two hundred Vort Years until their internal battery deteriorates and their minds begin to fragment, this life and death process is a part of the Nexus's aim to create diversity between it's citizens, allowing old idea's pave way for new ones, it also stops over-crowding and helps maintain a stable populace, especially when it forces them to live life to the highest of their capacity and not take too much for granted, the last thing it would want is for everyone to believe they are immortal gods as this would create possibilities for further civil conflicts.
Technology is the sacred specialty of the Voltar, they hold possibly the best computing technology within the entirety of all surrounding systems, their capacity to create robotics, bionics and power sources is beyond all measure, they rarely make mistakes when it comes to the creation of new technology, they take pride in their work and use it as a staple of their power and authority. Their technology is very clean, precise and sleek, while remaining quiet and elegant in it's performance. Everything from their homes, to mining equipment, weapons and spaceships look well maintained and polished and are often praised for their beauty and exquisite craftsmanship, many of the creations are highly sought for by collectors from other civilizations, especially their weaponry primarily for it's beauty and perfectionism in Hybrid rail-gun designs.
Voltarian weapon technology however will only work with paired Voltar users as their chip sets are connected during use, this means that any organic users must either have the chip set injected into their bodies or modifications must be made to the device, however this increases the risk of damaging or ruining the weapon. They do however create and offer species-ready versions as gifts to allies and friends on special occasions to make an example of good trust.
The many planets under the control of the Voltar are home to huge power grids fueled by top of the line fusion reactors and far more experimental methods that capture the power of astronomical anomalies, through constant research into such anomalies the Voltar have pioneered in forming a new form of long distance travel known to them as Concealed Hybrid Fusion Launching, this form of drive uses the power of collapsing fusion within a controlled environment to mimic the generated mass that occurs during the final days of a stars existence, when released into a propulsion system ships can tear a rift in the very fabric of space and uses the excess plasma from the fusion reaction to cloak the ship almost completely from radar scans to project itself at untraceable speeds which makes this form of drive technology incredibly well suited for stealth operations, however once the drive is activated it must be injected with a new fusion rod to ignite future travels, these rods are of Voltar design and are incredibly difficult to build, they are also extremely fragile and must be treated with care since any sudden trauma can cause them to rupture, Voltar craft also run quietly compared to many other starships.
Although the Voltar have many advanced forms of technology the highest majority of it is for gathering materials and securing their borders to keep not only their-selves but the Nexus safe.
The Voltar if tested can certainly rise to lethal hostility if challenged, however this has never been the case for thousands of years, the Voltar keep to their-selves and tend to keep out of other peoples wars and affairs, they are primarily peaceful and only occasionally show aggression to trespassers, pirates or thieves but most of these are done through scare tactics rather than actual physical force, the Voltar hold no primary interest in taking outer territories and will only leave to either migrate to other civilizations, trade, negotiate on a professional level or explore historical landmarks or locations that offer technological progression and advancements.
Infantry roles are given to those that have the largest and strongest of chassis, they have the most shielding and the best possible navigational and tactical subroutines are coded into their consciousnesses to offer a formidable force to be reckoned with, however these same forces are used as police and security forces when there is no current militaristic action needed.
Voltar spacecraft are highly experimental and uphold the sleek and beautiful nature that their technology is best known for, their ships are stealthy and usually concealed from radar and scans, this allows the Voltar to spy on it's neighbors and observe galactic events without even interfering. The Voltar take pride in many of their ships, especially the cherished Voltar Spires, tall vertical spacecraft that make use of the Voltarians precious Concealed Hybrid Fusion system to pierce through hostile lines and flank hostiles if required to do so. These spaceships are highly feared however only three are known to exist, besides these three huge ships the Voltar are only known to have personal spacecraft, research and science vessels, small armed scout craft and many freighters at their disposal.
@Icepick When you guys are done with your nation sheets, please PM them to me so I can take a look at them before you post them to the CHAR tab for final review.
Sweet! I'll get to work and send you it via PM soon!
