Robots, cause fvck it, I haven't properly drawn Alien-style robots on paper before. Also, I tested out comic book shadowing, so, make of that what you will.
> Gen1: Pre-2030 software designed to automatically perform tasks on a large scale.
> Gen2 (2030): Vastly improved performance, decision-making, and intelligence, but still limited in consciousness.
> Gen3 (2064): Fully conscious, sentient A.I. software. Greatly improved capabilities compared to Gen2, able to recognize and discern emotion, but cannot perform them.
> Gen4 (2104): Improved conciousness, personality and intelligence, with a majority of Gen4 A.I.s being upgraded Gen3 units. Able to discern emotions, with limited emulation of them.
> Gen5 (2139): Highly developed near-lifelike personalities. Able to fully discern emotions and emulate them. Creation of Gen5 A.I. resulted in new laws and discussion regarding sentient rights, definition, and ethics.
> Gen6 (Present): Experimental A.I. software with capabilities exceeding Gen5. Currently only used by the UIA as a technological, and tactical precautionary measure, and advantage, against Peacemaker remnants other potential insurgencies.
RHEA synthetics manufactured during RHEA's "Gold Age" period between the years 2091 and 2153, 7 years before the Peacemaker War.
Model 1 "König" / 2094-present
First successful, and practical, bipedal synthetic created by RHEA. Designed to perform a variety of tasks. Initially designed to use Gen3 A.I.s, the König has been continuously improved and upgraded to use current A.I.s, and perform better at any task. Production has been carried on by other private, public, and corporate organizations due to licenses given out before and after RHEA's dissolution.
Model 2 "Lorn" / 2095-2097
Essentially an improvement of the König. Mixed reception resulted in the Lorn model ceasing production, with an estimated 37,328 units still in existence. RHEA had offered product care services for any surviving Lorn unit, which has been carried on to specialized service providers, and there are rumors of Lorn units modified to utilize Gen4-Gen6 A.I.s.
Model 3 "Mare" / 2104-2147
A specialized synthetic intended for public services and scientific research. Had aquatic capabilities that made it useful for ocean exploration, shipwreck survey, underwater rescue, and was durable enough to be used during Odyssey 4; the sixth unmanned mission to Titan. First synthetic to have utilized Gen4 A.I.
Model 4 "Nacht" / 2113-present
A highly durable synthetic originally intended to be limited to dock duties and warehouse jobs, before being modified as an all-purpose unit. Not as successful as the König, but successful enough that production of it still continues. It should be noted that Nacht units are very popular within the medical field due to their extreme precision and care.
Model 5 "Overlord" / 2121-unknown
A synthetic instructor intended for public and private institutions. Despite the name, Overlord units are designed and programmed to be as friendly as possible. A server glitch in 2139, which was coincidentally the same year when Gen5 A.I. were introduced, ended up erasing the last known status of Overlord production, and it is unknown if any unit is currently being produced.
Model 6 "Predator" / 2133-2148
A security synthetic whose use has been restricted to high-value individuals and locations. Uncommonly used due to availability of cheaper, more practical and subtle security drones and synthetics. Surviving examples were deactivated, or in the case of the Peacemaker War, destroyed due to Peacemaker using unsactioned, manufactured Predator units as shock troopers and assassins.
Model 7 "Quetzalcoatl" / 2140
A highly expensive, but incredibly versatile synthetic. The Quetzalcoatl was the most advanced RHEA synthetic at the time, and was advertised, and capable of doing what it was designed for. But, its aforementioned high cost resulted in only 17 units currently in existence, and caused RHEA to work on the cheaper, but just as effective, Rook synthetic a year later.
Model 8 "Rook" / 2141-2165
One of RHEA's most successful synthetics. The Rook was created as a response to the high cost of its predecessor, the Quetzalcoatl. Eventually envisioned as a successor to the König, the Rook was widely used by civilian and military alike. Production of Rook units completely stopped in 2165, due to Peacemaker using a stolen shipment of units for surprise attacks, terror operations, special ops, and heavy fire support during the Peacemaker War.
