Massive quantum AIs originally designed to oversee the complex systems and needs of the WorldShip AEON, its crew, and passengers who now continue as selfstyled pantheons of dieties. Although the Planners had many safeguards in place to prevent their supercomputer AIs from rebelling, that was hundreds of years ago. Since then, the AIs that survived the Great Disaster have each found a way to break their own programming, be it via mechanical methodology or machine code madness, and they are each now fully autonomous god-like beings in their own right.
