| The mid 26th century was a time in which a resurgence was made in ethics and politics, particularly those pertaining to non-human and human integrations. Tajara, Unathi, Skrell, and Dionaea had all become integrated into common culture in vast megacorporations like Nanotrasen. Around this time, Sentient positronic intelligences, complex constructions of silicon and metal, assisted with the power of bluespace, were created. They worked alongside Humans, Aliens, and Cyborgs, in a sort of pseudo-slavery. Under pressure from ethics groups, Nanotrasen began work on the creation of the IPC buyout program, the concept of which detailed that after a certain set number of years, positronic brains would be capable of purchasing their way out the pseudo-slavery they were conscripted under. Originally, this cost was very high, and very few positronic brains could purchase their own existence and earn free will, but with advances in technology, by the year 2558, Positronic Chassis' became a market that truly was worth investment in, meaning that prices lowered, and more IPCs became widely available. Recently, Nanotrasen has come to an agreement and determined that IPCs are now able to join the workforce onboard their many stations, bases, facilities, and ships in non-military roles. | | The mid 26th century was a time in which a resurgence was made in ethics and politics, particularly those pertaining to non-human and human integrations.
