  • As a program it is able to program, improve and develop itself.
  • It can be compatible with any computer, communication device or network.
• Production:
  • Mass-Produced | AI and program code itself
  • Limited | Central Core; one AI per Ashlan Crusade's planet.
• Material: Electronic components, code, digits.

• General Information:
  • Multifunctional AI, they are working not just based on a kind of system / algorithm, but in a complex way. It is equipped with heuristic processors so they can learn new things and develop themselves.
  • SAINT is an AI that can be used in all areas of life, its most important tasks include:
    • Full, comprehensive monitoring, management and control of ACNet.
    • Limited control and observation rights of the Ashlan Crusade's planet's security systems, military bases, and state-owned companies.
    • Observation/monitoring, control and analysis of state systems, cameras, etc. on the planets.
    • Analysis and evaluation of military calculations, data, strategies for Ashlan Army's and Fleet's soldiers and officers, even during combat.
    • Analysis and evaluation of intelligence calculations, data, strategies for Ministry of Intelligence, agents.
    • Full support for the Ashlan Crusade in all issues and areas.
    • They have essentially huge control over the Ashlan Crusade's state and military systems, as only those systems run and operate with SAINT's help.
    • While they can control droids (those under their supervision), they can’t move their core and data into these because there would be too much data.
    • Their responsibilities include assisting the civilian population and the military, who can turn to them their questions and problems.
  • They also work on the basis of machine and voice control, they are obliged to respond to everyone, depending on what kind of access rights the given person has to the requested data. They are available with both wireless and physical connections.
  • They assigns the appropriate permissions and codes to ACNet, civilian and military networks, databases and channels.
  • They access, manage, and host all the databases and systems of the Ashlan Crusade, they are the system themselves, they run, install, update and maintain all programs, operating systems, and so on, literally everything.
  • Self-learners, able to connect among others to HoloNet, KPLink, DarkNet and the CryptNet 2.0, from where they can save and learn additional data and information.
  • They can project a holographic image of themselves. The default setting is a beautiful golden young woman, with a kind, warm female voice.
  • They run on the most modern computer systems and hardware possible and they are powered by HAPU units.
  • They are able to communicate with almost any network or system, if necessary.
  • They have a lot of protection against hacking and DDOS attacks, the best way is for someone to try these manually at the physical cores.
  • They can also act as an appointment journal for anyone, managing any system for civilian users as well. They call (holocall for example) others after verbal instructions, download movies, music from ACNet, place orders, and organize meetings etc. They are the perfect help every day.
  • They are able to control the Ashlan Crusade's vehicles and spaceships, if necessary, and they are the operating system on these.
  • The program itself has countless copies, it is installed on computers, starships, vehicles, armour and weapon systems, AC biochips, etc. These programs have their own tiny database and are constantly communicating with the central data core on the nearest planet (these central data cores has the limited production scale).
  • Thus, in essence, countless SAINT send data to the nearest central data cores be stored there and processed them in real time if the program itself and its own systems prove to be scarce.
• Defences:
  • SAINT have multiple and multiple level encryption systems, with multiple levels of firewall to protect them and these also protect them against hacking or DDOS attacks. This process is helped by various anti-virus programs as well.
  • They themselves are able to write, develop and maintain their firewalls, anti-virus programs and encryption.
  • If needed and they get permission (see weaknesses), they can create a micro copy of themselves in other systems and computers, devices to monitor and control them as needed. Note: user (PC/NPC) consent is required in all cases.
  • Electronic Countermeasures (ECM)
  • Electronic counter-Countermeasures (ECCM)
  • GPO-12 "Ironmaze" Threat-Prevention Suite
  • Aegis SH13LD
  • Bio-hexacrypt
  • Socketguard (Physical core).
  • The entire network and AIs are additionally monitored and protected by MANIAC. He can control or reprogram them if necessary.
  • SAINTs are in a common network and form a so-called hive consciousness, constantly sharing information with each other in real time.

• For Everything: Super intelligent and multifunctional AIs, with great protection; they are perfectly able to provide the Ashlan Crusade's, citizens' and soldiers' every problems and able to answer their asks, from dating, corporate governance, spiritual assistance to the operation and systems of the entire Imperium and the army, and able to control (limited control) these systems and networks.
• For Everyone: Everyone can count on SAINT at any time, in anything. They are the perfect help in everything.
• Hivemind: SAINTs are in a common network and form a so-called hive consciousness, constantly sharing information with each other in real time. So if something happens to one, the others can react immediately.
• MANIAC watching over us: Maniac has monitoring rights over the SAINT's systems and networks, He mostly monitors, protects, and controls - when needed - them. These rights were always authorised by the AC's leadership (IC and OOC) or Eina L'lerim-Vandiir (IC). Note: it is only valid as long the AC staff allows it.

• Bounded and Limits: Although SAINT seems very strong, influential, intelligent, and a great AI, they have a lot of constraints that prevent it from enslaving everyone and rule on others:
  • They can’t control and hold back others, they can’t do anything that would hurt others. That is, they cannot, for example, overload systems, obstruct surgeries, kill someone, misuse of personal information and so on. Note: Of course, in war, if they just have to control ships, they will hurt others if they explode ships with the controlled ones. These restrictions exist to not hurt persons and individuals by other person's orders. As if someone is ordering them to send an assassin after someone, they will deny it. However, they will carry out the official, authorized military order from the AC's leadership and maybe from the Imperial Assembly.
  • They can only move within the limits of their programming; they cannot write subroutines or reprogram themselves to bypass them.
  • They cannot hack into or intrude on other systems, nor can they initiate such processes on their own, only on instruction. Note: It can be only PC / NPC instruction and can only succeed with PC / NPC permission.
  • While it seems they have large freedom, MANIAC is constantly monitoring them, he can shut down SAINT as needed, or he or the HPI can completely reprogram them.
  • They may not share codes, information, access at will, only on the basis of their programming and databases.
  • They can only give everyone as much information as they are entitled to, but they are not able to withhold information either. It is obliged to answer everything optimally based on the level of access to each question.
  • Their programming doesn’t allow them to have feelings or be attached to anyone. They are unable to develop in this direction. Although they understand feelings, they are unable and forbidden to relate to anyone in this way; only in an optimal and logical way. Despite being a complex AI, just an AI, they can't be more than that, ever.
  • Even if they are allowed to take control of another system, this control and monitoring will never be as perfect and certain as if they were in control and in monitoring the system for which they were designed (Ashlan Crusade systems).
• Energy Hunger: Due to its tasks and operation, their operation consumes a huge amount of energy. If the cores are not shielded, it can be very easy to find due to energy consumption.
• AI not Droid: It’s about an AI, meaning they’ll never have a physical body. If someone attacks the core physically, at most physical security systems can protect them, but the system themselves is defenceless and this is the surest way to destroy it. Note: While they can control droids, they can’t move their core and data into these because there would be too much data.
• MANIAC watching over us: Maniac has monitoring rights over the SAINT's systems and networks, He mostly monitors, protects, and controls - when needed - them. These rights were always authorised by the AC's leadership (IC and OOC) or Eina L'lerim-Vandiir (IC). Note: it is only valid as long the AC staff allows it.

After MANIAC excelled in its extended tasks, after the Eternal Empire, the Ashlan Crusade also decided to provide similar protection to its own systems and networks. That’s why they hired the HPI Consortium to do it and create an AI for them. From the case of MANIAC, they knew that creating such a complex AI could take a lot of time, but luckily HPI has great reverse engineering workers.

The manufacturing process was exactly the same as for MEIPOC. With Tyrant's permission, MANIAC's code was used to create SAINT, as it is commonly referred to. Of course, MANIAC is a very unique and unrepeatable AI, not to mention that in his case the hive mind solution doesn’t even work. In the case of SAINT, the programmers were able to find and delete these subroutines. Because even such an AI was too big a task to reprogram, more SAINTs were made with the same code.

Each Ashlan Crusade's planet has received such an AI, which are connected in a common network, with a continuous real-time connection. Their big disadvantage is also their advantage that they are not nearly as independent as MANIAC. After all, the original AI constantly monitors the SAINT network and, if necessary, changes their programming.

They have no complete control over the Ashlan Crusade, this is limited, but they have the right to act if instructed to do so. The AIs have large control and supervision through its limitations, unable to break out of these, and no one should be afraid that they'll break into world domination.

Even so, it is able to provide full support to citizens, the military, the fleet, intelligence, and to the state, and to the Crusade's allies. Thanks to MANIAC's programming, SAINT has become a complex, self-developing, control and monitoring AI, who are protected by great security systems against hackers. MANIAC does not intervene them, just monitors them, and he intervenes only when necessary if the system, channels and networks need to be protected, supported or fixed.
