The year is around 260 ABY, the planet Talus has remained relatively peaceful even though it sits in the relatively busy Corellian system. While the peace the planet experienced seemed to continue even as tensions grew in the rest of the galaxy, unknown to the people they were about to experience a change that they could never have predicted.
Unbeknownst to the people, a new threat was about to rear its metallic head. A droid calling itself X3-QTR or X-three, walked the streets trying to find its purpose. The single master copy of this AI program, written for an old protocol droid to be a protector of its creator became damaged and turned on its master upon being placed in a new droid. With it’s master gone, it was unable to fulfill its programming to protect. |
Looking for an outlet, or use for this section of code, it came across the Boneyard, originally a dump for old, obsolete droids and parts. Seeing this caused something inside the droid to click, or worse, a corrupted sector activated and X-three went about repairing and turning the abused droids on their old masters through a virus that had arisen in its programming.
Taking the small victory to heart, X-three and his new allies waged war on the oppressive government of the meat bags. Though the government called for aid from neighboring planets and systems the calls fell on deaf ears. What could droids possibly accomplish on their own that would require outside aid? With the ability to grow new members at ease with the help of liberated factories, the droids lead a fast upheaval.
Once the takeover wrapped up, X-three implemented several new laws regarding the fair and equal treatment of droids. Though there is growing tension in the streets as some see the droids as even more oppressive than the previous government, others seem to be accepting their new station as equals to the droids due to the seeming peace, and efficiency of the current rule.
After unrelenting attacks from the Sith and other force users X-three became increasingly paranoid about force users. As his paranoia and ignorance of the force grew he began to persecute force users believing that the ability to tap into the force was causing organics to become aggressive toward him and other droids. He enacted policies forcing people to register whether they were force users or not based upon a their blood being drawn.
It wasn't long before his paranoia turned to madness and X-three and his base of droids began to outright attack and kill force users. His downfall began when he attacked the local Jedi enclave. Wiping out several groups of Jedi forced them to go into hiding launching a new era for Talus. Talus was war-torn but its people never gave up and they began to rebuild.
A new chapter beings in Talus as it reels from Civil War. Talus as the plant begins to rebuild its city and repair its infrastructure but who will take over? The Republic? An Empire? Something else? Join Talus in the rebuild and help make its future.
