A synthetic race that evolved from ancient maintenance drones left behind by a long-vanished precursor civilization. The Mechanoids are crystalline constructs, varying in size from small, scurrying scout units to massive, multi-limbed industrial behemoths. They communicate through intricate light patterns and sonic pulses, forming a complex, decentralized network. Emotionally detached and hyper-logical, the Mechanoids excel in engineering, data analysis, and long-range tactical calculations. While they can appear cold and unfeeling, their contributions to galactic infrastructure and logistical planning are indispensable. Their rigid adherence to efficiency and data-driven decisions often makes them resistant to "irrational" human ideas. See more
