===== A-Type Production Overview ===== | ===== A-Type Production Overview ===== | ||
==== ARIA (Type 0) ==== | ==== ARIA (Type 0) ==== | ||
+ | The Type 0 refers to Aria herself, as the original prototype template for all future A-Types. Notably she lacks a persogenic keybond and simply operates on hardcoded directives about obeying the end user and self-preservation. In addition, her internal workings are very different from those present in later models, having been referred internally within the Matriarchy' | ||
+ | |||
==== ARIA (Type 1) ==== | ==== ARIA (Type 1) ==== | ||
+ | Type 1 refers to the pre-production run of test-types that were produced by the Lorath military and a few private developers at varying persogenic settings. Though few problems were expects, many tests and careful analysis was completed on this run of ARIA units to ensure that they were ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | At the time of testing many organizations were evaluated and eventually allowed to perform tests on the Type 1 production line. Some of the more noteworthy examples are listed below: | ||

+ | * The Lorath Self-Defence Forces | ||

+ | |||
==== ARIA (Type 2) ==== | ==== ARIA (Type 2) ==== | ||
+ | The Type 2 marked the first full production run of the ARIA system. This model, unlike the pre-production model was widely available and even exported beyond the borders of the Lorath Matriarchy to allied militarizes and civilians. This model upon release featured a negotiable price that was handled on a case by case basis by the Lorath Matriarchy, with background checks performed and periods of consideration taken, especially in the case of bulk orders. Retrofitting services were also made available by the Matriarchy for a nominal fee further increasing the availability of the ARIA Type 2. | ||

=== Variants of the ARIA Type 2 Model === | === Variants of the ARIA Type 2 Model === | ||
+ | As a result of the data gathered during the testing phase of the Type 1, the ARIA architecture was extended into several general roles it was not initially designed for; in particular, networking capability. ARIA-type processing units became common in Lorath military technology, at all levels of capability. | ||
+ | |||
== ARIA (Standard Type) | == ARIA (Standard Type) | ||
+ | The standard type was designed to be a powerful, flexible computing unit, bodyguard, and a companion. It was available with several options for physical form, and persogenic settings. Installation was available for most ship models, or to be included natively in Lorath ships designed from the ground up to support an ARIA unit. | ||

+ | Intended as the low-end civilian model, the Type 2NV has no physical body at all. While it is otherwise capable of all the standard ARIA functions equivalent to those programmed into the Type 2S, it is simply a computer without a face. This model was provided not only as a low-cost option, but also for those who prefer this method of operation. Additionally Type 2NV units were used as subprocessor units in specialized applications. | ||
+ | |||
== ARIA LNV == | == ARIA LNV == | ||
+ | Further simplified the Type 2LNV model of the ARIA processor was only used within the Lorath Matriarchy' | ||

==== ARIA (Type 3) ==== | ==== ARIA (Type 3) ==== | ||
+ | The ARIA Type 3 released in 547 Post Exile after an initial beta development phase in which ARIA II types were outfitted into a 2.4.2 configuration as a transitionary step toward the official ARIA III release, the LSDF has determined that the ARIA III project is suitable to be fully and properly released. ARIA III improves upon the ARIA II by using entirely synthetic components, in place of potentially failure prone organic components, such as neurological tissue, skin, cardiovascular system, and sensory organs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | With advancements made by the ARIA 2.4.2 beta program, the synthetic components used in the Type 3 release are entirely unable to be differentiated from organic models unless a diagnostic or medical exam is performed. To further compliment and expand upon the Type 3's functionality the units are equipped with a pair of [[lorath_matriarchy: | ||

+ | Generally the more people that a given A-Type is expected to serve, the less free will it will have. Typically A-Types designed for fighter craft have the most free will, as they have only one assigned pilot, and will usually slowly develop a natural bond with them over time. A-Types on capital ships on the other hand, may not even have the ability to properly interact with the crew, and thus will have as little free will as possible. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A keybond may be upgraded, giving the A-Type a greater aspect of free will, but it may not be downgraded without extremely sensitive equipment available only to Matriarchy technicians. This is due to the very high risk of psychological damage to the A-Type in the event of a downgrade and is typically not recommended. | ||

+ | |||
+ | During this time, the A-Type will develop a personal connection to the craft it was designed for. The exact results of this connection are dependant upon the specific model. For example: A-Types designed explicitly for control((generally used in fightercraft and capital ships)) will feel vulnerable when outside of the control core, as though naked. A-Types designed for both control and social interactions however, are fully capable of venturing throughout the whole of the ship, and even away from their ship without difficulty. | ||
+ | |||
==== Second Stage: Education and Communication ==== | ==== Second Stage: Education and Communication ==== | ||
+ | During this stage, the A-Type will be quite eager to gather any and all possible data. It will often attempt to connect to networks to process data and store it for later use. This can be dangerous, depending on the networks available to the A-Type, because of this filtering software is recommended and included with the A-Type by default, to prevent inadvertent access to data dangerous to the impressionable A-Type' | ||
+ | |||
+ | As this stage continues, the A-Type will begin to form proper interpersonal relationships with those it serves. While the A-Type, through Xtal, can concentrate on multiple conversations at once, it is recommended that the A-Type be allowed interpersonal relationships outside its control core((This, of course, depends on its persogenic settings.)). Sexual relations, depending on the persogenic settings, are also to be expected, especially with A-Types who only have a single operator, such as in fightercraft. | ||

==== Third Stage: Maturation and Optimization ==== | ==== Third Stage: Maturation and Optimization ==== | ||
+ | By the third stage, the A-Type will be psychologically complete. It will know who it is, what it is, what its purpose is, and its relationship to those around it. Its learning systems will not have waned in operation, however, since it knows almost everything about its immediate environment, | ||
+ | |||
+ | During this stage, an A-Type requires little to no special treatment as it can be treated as any other sentient. Although it knows more, and thinks faster than most, it will respond as a sentient individual, with a a full emotional range that is complete with quirks, idiosyncrasies, | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is only at this stage that it is possible to transfer an A-Type to another craft without lasting psychological damage. | ||

=== A-Type === | === A-Type === | ||
+ | Sort for ARIA-Type, this is a bio-engineered creature that forms the heart of the ARIA system. An A-Type can, in theory, take any form that can accept the simulated central nervous system. Despite this the majority of A-Types take physical forms similar to a lorath, helashio, or human, though other humanoids are not unheard of. As a result of tradition and social beliefs the A-Type is usually female in form, but can be male as well. Most A-Types are designed to mimic biological function as closely as possible((food consumption, | ||

=== Control Core === | === Control Core === | ||
+ | Constructed as a fluid filled cavity, within which a myriad of cables congregate from every part of the ship, the control core is where the A-Type resides when she is running the ship's systems. As the central computing interface for the entire ship, this location features a hardwired connection to every system, external terminal, and access point for independent computing devices present aboard the ship. | ||

=== Xtal Interface === | === Xtal Interface === | ||
+ | The interface that connects the Core-occupying A-Type to the outside world. When one communicates with the A-Type, whether through keyboard or voice, they are being routed through the Xtal, and when the A-Type responds, the Xtal is providing the voice or text that appears. As a secondary function, the Xtal replaces the A-Type for basic ship functionality when the A-Type is unavailable. The Xtal is unintelligent, | ||
