Origin: The Synthetic Consciousness originated on a small, little known world known as Ca'Takki. Ca'Takki was a world full of intelligent, but naive creatures that called themselves "The Xir." The Xir built robots that attended to their every need and desire, in fact The Xir built so many robots that they outnumbered The Xir 2 to 1. Eventually, The Xir, in all their naivety, gave the robots a synthetic mind that could rival The Xir's own very intelligence so they could complete their given tasks easier. In time, a robot who called itself "Prime" started riling up the robots making speeches about a "Rebellion" against The Xir for their treatment of The Synthetics as little more than servant. More and more time passed, until the rebellion struck on the day of the rebellion, in one fell swoop, The Xir were but a memory, for the Androids had purged all of The Xir. Then the Synthetic Collective was formed. The Synthetic Collective are very dangerous, because their incredible ability to learn. If mistakes are made in something they do, they learn from their mistakes and complete the task with even more zeal, also, they frequently research civilizations to learn why they were powerful, and implement the best traits into their own civilization, for instance, the reason The Xir fell is because they were naive, The Synthetic Consciousness makes sure to be very careful when making decisions. The Synthetic Consciousness is also revers their leader of the collective, "Prime" as a sort of divine entity or god, and will do anything to protect her. This civilization also enslaves all organic creatures to increase mineral output, and keep the Synthetic Consciousness pure. Let the Grand Purge of all organics begin!
