C255 Continuum

The C255 Continuum is the galactic governmental representative of the entire C255 species. Like it’s people, the Continuum remains as a mysterious enigma within the southeastern regions of the galaxy.

Government
The C255 are ruled by omnipresent immaterial construct known as the Prime Archivist. This leader runs day to day operations between the three rings either through Software maintenance to directing workers to specified tasks. He is also holds the combined knowledge of all C255 observations missions along with the complete history of their builders, a secret they rarely ever discuss. The Prime Archivist is assisted by lesser C255 constructs called Key Monitors who have tangible forms. These are seen as the heralds of the Prime Achivist and whatever they dictate is considered his will.

Society
The C255 people as a whole are dedicated to one thing and one thing only, the observation and cataloging of historic events. There are however some units dedicated to construction/repair work, keeping the vast ringworlds and large amount of orbital observation stations in working order. Even they have an innate drive to observe. Though imagery of the creators exist, the C255 have created several memorials dedicated to them out of reverence. Continuum society is more structured or practical compared to other synthetic life forms in the galaxy, never building for excess or wants just what’s needed at the moment. This goes so extreme in fact that most C255 citizens rest in cramp spaces in giant store houses that dot the three ringworld’ s landscape.

History
Possibly more than 100,000 years ago, the space faring C255 creators created the C255 as assistants in their quest to catologue the galaxy and it’s species. It’s unknown wether or not the C255 revolted against or they had left but the creators vanished, according to the Prime Archivist D459, around 83,000 cycles ago. Either way the C255 were left to pick up the pieces, repairing two ringworlds and finish building another. They have remain relatively isolated in the millennia following their creators extinction, only keeping with regular contact with the Animus and Qunessan Vestige. As other newer races reached the stars around them, the Continuum has taken up a somewhat active role in the growingly crowded galaxy forming small term contracts and agreements with surrounding nations.
