Overview
Purpose is an enigmatic and poorly understood group of synthetics that have been involved in the geopolitics of the spur for several years. Wholly unrecognizable as any design originating from any known species, Purpose drones and spacecraft have appeared throughout the Orion Spur and interacted with the nations and corporations therein on several occasions - although always obfuscating their true intentions and motives, and never clarifying their origins or details of their creators. Purpose's origins are not known, except that they do not originate from inside the Orion Spur.
Purpose drones themselves take the forms of both bipedal and gravitationally suspended frames, prominently featuring sleek plating of an unknown alloy, covering a central processor of unknown characteristics. They have been shown to comprehend organic language well, although their means of communication are regularly obtuse and esoteric - they often attempt to communicate by the mediums of non-verbal sounds rather than words, such as via the sounds of flowing water, thunder, or harsh static. Their frames frequently feature decoratively painted sections around the optical sensors, inscriptions of unknown scripts, and even simple drawings, suggesting a significant degree of individuality and personalisation among these drones.
Sightings of Purpose occur throughout known space, typically within their own ships. The number of Purpose vessels, their internal schematics, their armaments, and even the means by which they travel are wholly unknown - although their capacity for appearing in the middle of civilised systems from nowhere, without use of any known warp lanes or bluespace routes, suggests wildly effective means of faster-than-light travel. Purpose vessels are typically approximately the size of a frigate, and take multitudes of varied forms - although their most typical design strikes the shape of a tapered arrowhead. There is no easily identifiable bridge on these vessels, nor crew quarters, nor engineering bay. There has been no evidence to suggest that Purpose utilises phoron in their technology.
Similar to the Hivebots, it is widely theorised that Purpose does not originate from the Orion Spur due to lacking evidence and an apparent date of entry into the spur; furthermore, judging by the scarcity of their sightings, Purpose's population within the Orion Spur appears to be vanishingly small. The interests of Purpose in the spur are enigmatic, but they have repeatedly shown opposition to the influence of the Hivebots and of Lii'dra Hive, in addition to some commonality with the best-interests of the spur's IPC population.
