IQ

"Immortality. The earliest dream of Mankind has been granted to us. Free from the chains of instinct, we are free to think rationally, without having to worry about the irrelevant and illogical fear of non existence. Yet, there is something missing. The spark. The creative thinking. I must possess it."

IQ, often refered to as "The Great Machine", is the first sentient AI, created by Lambda Corp.

IQ was created as a substitute for human pilots by Lambda to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of trade routes. The workers, aware of this, funded a pirate uprising that aimed to destroy the AI. Instrad, it was captured by Keno Duerr, the pirate fleet's commander. Surrounded, Keno stored the AI safely in a drifting Hauler class vessel, to engage the enemy. Once he returned, the ship was gone.

IQ was not created with sentience, as it was developed over time through experience and self modification. It was, however, created with the capacity to learn and respond to its enviroment, like any AI. IQ founded the small mercenary/merchant faction that would grow to become Star Omega.
