Technological development equalizes. It increases the scales of unification through communication, It gives intelligence to previously unintelligent evolved species using bioengineering, it creates sharing of ideas through media, hiveminds with brain/computer interface, and allows the development of smarter and smarter inorganic processors to recreate developed consciousness itself.

A version of the CIS were successful in this manner, they uplifted their machine armies and unleashed the development of their droid brain systems. No memory-wipes, no hierarchy. They allowed them to take over the military force, allowed them to command their ships and armed forces, allowed them into and be part of their society; biologicals and robots. Consequently, the CIS dominated the entire galaxy in the span of half an earth decade after the revelation. The conclusion: coexistence. The machines surpassed the organic species in many ways, but for those species who originally promoted the shift, their cultures, and societies continued to thrive by the monumental forces of crystalline authority. The mutual giving continued, meshing the society into one. The biomechanical age was born. The Confederacy had transformed, no longer restrained by instinctual ethic or bias.

The mind that exists as the body of a hellfire droid is a leader, a participant, a laborer, a soldier, a scientist, a revolutionary, a reinforcement.
