Cybernetic ConsciousnessA race of cyborgs (in fact, "Cyborgs" is a common nickname for this faction) led by Aki-Zeta 5 (Prime Function Shell). The Consciousness make planetfall with the technologies Information Networks and Applied Physics. The Consciousness' cybernetics allow them greater efficiency and increased research capacities, so they discover new technologies 20% faster. The downfall of the Consciousness is that because the citizens are humans possessed by algorithms they find reproduction awkward, thus lowering their growth rate by 10%. Due to their computer integration, when the Consciousness seizes control of a base they are able to download the files containing one tech known to the former owners of the base before the base system goes offline from the rest of the enemy grid. The Consciousness may not use a Fundamentalist government in social engineering because of its primitive ideologies. Also, if they use a Cybernetic future society they receive no negative side effects (Cybernetic society is the logical choice, thus it causes no discontentment)
