This is the Haydonite Awareness (ハイドナイトの認識, Haidonaito no Ninshiki), the central intelligence of the planet Haydon IV, and the fourth and final major antagonist for my future fanfiction project called Robotech Odyssey , a modernized re-imagining and reboot of the hit 1980s anime TV series Robotech.
------
Little is known about the origins of the Haydonite Awareness and the entirety of the Haydonite race. The information that can be gathered from what remains of their early history suggests that approximately 400,000 years ago, the Haydonites originated as a new race of highly-advanced cybernetic humanoids who were created on the artificial world of Haydon IV by a mysterious enigmatic entity named Haydon, who they often view as a creator-god. It is believed in Haydonite folklore that before his departure from the planet that Haydon had created an advanced artificial intelligence only known as "the Awareness" to serve as the planet's central computing core.

Since then, under the guidance and watchful presence of the Awareness, the Haydonites emerged as a prosperous civilization, utilizing their superior intelligence and efficiency to make great leaps forward in society. In order to defend themselves from hostile powers, the Haydonites develop "Shadow Technology," powerful zero-point energy weapon systems powered by the vacuum energy source "Quicksilver." The Haydonites would then enter a space age as exploration vessels were sent across the Local Galactic Group with the goal of make contact with other alien races to forge possible alliances with in the near future. One day, one of these ships discovered an unknown planet in the Large Magellanic Cloud and makes first contact with its native inhabitants, a race of protoplasmic insectoids known as the Invid. Through their close observations of the species, the Haydonites discover that the Invid are symbiotic palynivores that feast on a mysterious substance dubbed "Protoculture," a source of vacuum energy that can only be produced by a plant native to the Invid Cradleworld called the Flower of Life.

After studying samples of the Invid Flower of Life, the Awareness and the Haydonites are shocked to discover that Protoculture somewhere has much higher power yield than the Quicksilver energy that fuels their Shadow Technology could ever produce. This new discovery led Haydon IV being thrown into chaos as the Haydonites became increasingly paranoid of the power of Protoculture, fearing the possibility that it would bring about the destruction of their entire race if the Invid ever become hostile to them. In the name of securing Haydon IV's supremacy, the Awareness advocates the use of Shadow Technology-produced superweapons to utterly obliterate the Invid Cradleworld, seemingly destroying the entire Invid race and the Flowers of Life. Believing that Protoculture and the Invid will no longer be a threat to them, the Haydonites retreat to their homeworld into isolationism, with the Awareness declaring that they shall never intervene in the affairs of other races. Since that time, the Haydonites continued to live a peaceful existence that lasted for eons. 

However, sometime during the late 20th century, the Haydonites' isolation from the larger intergalactic community was disrupted when a Tirolian super space battlefortress commanded by the scientist and father of Robotechnology, Zor Derelda, came to their world to seed it with the Flower of Life. After learning information from Zor before his eventual departure, not only was the Haydonite Awareness shocked to learn that the Invid and their supply of Protoculture was able to survive their extinction attempt, but also another race, the Tirolians (commonly known as the "Robotech Masters") had manage to refine Protoculture to create their own advanced weapons in their ongoing war against the Invid. With its paranoia towards the "dangers of Protoculture" vastly increasing because of all this, in order to prevent the possible destruction of Haydon IV in this new conflict, the Awareness begins to calculate a long-term plan that would see the destruction of Protoculture and all who used it....

I hope you guys like it.
