fifteen hundred years in the past; the home plant of the AI. An evolving race of sentient androids, living in harmony with their world and all other species that inhabited the region of space. Eagerly sharing the knowledge of their life times with any and all who were eager to learn. Amongst civilized species, they were referred to as teachers. Their world was free to visit. their only exception was their inner centers. The inner centers were located deep within the planet, and it was here that they worked endlessly to evolve. It was in the center that they also kept the forbidden knowledge of violence, war, and utter destruction. For they had not always been a race of peace. All species had a darker side, and the Ais were no exception to the rule. For a millennia, they had lived in the joy and happiness of sharing, helping, and spreading their wealth of knowledge.
