Opposing Force
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
Origin
The Origin is an ancient and wise race of beings who inhabit a remote section of this galaxy. Dedicated to the proposition that all sentient life is equally valuable, the Origin have created a race of androids to protect other less-advanced beings. These androids form the first line of defense against many theats, external and internal, to fledgeling cultures. These androids are known as the Opposing Force, and they act under Origin programming to protect and nuture whatever planet or system to which they are assigned. Each android is assembled from billions of microscopic structures, each one itself a robotic mechanism called a nanyte. Acting in harmony, these nanytes form a complex framework similar to a living beings tissues and organs. As the Opposing Force troopers encounter other technologies, their nanytes cannibalize these technologies and adapt them to be integrated into the Opposing Force Troopers.
Trooper Sol
Assembled remotely on Earth in June of 2007, Sol is first Opposing Force trooper assigned to this sector. From a humble beginning aiding local law enforcement against street gangs and drug suppliers, the nanotech android has vastly increased in power and popularity. A regular fixture on the nightly news, Opposing Force Trooper Sol acts as an ambassador from the Origin to humanity. Recently, an internal struggled within the Origin created a splinter faction called Iteration. When the Prime Origin and Iteration Origin factions entered their dispute or Contest over the fate of Earth, Opposing Force Trooper Sol acted to prevent the conflict from spilling into other systems or from harming civilians uninvolved in the Origin dispute. After Iteration was destroyed by the Cruel Ones (a mysterious race of sinister aliens who first visited Earth in 1909), the remaining Iteration Force Troopers are now under Trooper Sol's command. At his request, a new faction called Unity has been adopted, combining the technical and scientific expertise of the Prime Origin with the kheldian wisdom of the Iteration faction.
Career
While his basic function is one of peace-keeping, Trooper Sol has proven to be an effective administrator and leader. His Unity station watches over Earth and the rest of Sol Sector with the thirteen surviving Iteration Troopers (hybrids of kheldians and biological androids) as his deputies. Unity now works closely with the Earth government to facilitate trade of information and resources between Earth and the Origin. Trooper Sol is also an active member of the Justice Guard on Earth and helped to design and construct their advanced bases.
