  PROGRAM PRETEXT: In response to the Dmonian Diplomatic Event of October 2384, the concept of the Strategic Autonomous Defense Units (SADU) program emerged from the ARCK Think Tank. During this period, groundbreaking advancements in materials science on Europa led to the discovery of a crystalline substrate uniquely suited for artificial intelligence cores.

  By the early 2400s, AI systems had transitioned from occupying asteroid-sized data centers, several kilometers across, to fitting into compact, modular units no larger than standard shipping containers—while simultaneously experiencing exponential increases in computational power.

  The crystalline AI cores developed on Europa exhibited unparalleled density, enabling intelligences housed within them to achieve unprecedented scores on the Ackerman-Merriweather Intelligence Scale. These scores indicated capabilities far beyond what was previously possible, positioning the SADU AIs as some of the most advanced, versatile, and ruthlessly efficient intelligences in the galaxy.

  DRAWBACKS: However, progress came with a steep cost. Researchers at ARCK and Department Two-Red discovered that to push the limits of SADU capabilities further, a radical step was necessary: imprinting living human brains onto the crystalline AI cores.

  This process, while revolutionary, was fatal to the donor and did not fully transfer their memories or personality. Instead, the donor’s brain served as an architectural seed, providing a foundational neural blueprint upon which the AI could build. While explicit memories were not retained, donors’ intellectual predispositions—such as an affinity for engineering, strategy, or diplomacy—often manifested in the SADU's operational behavior.

  In exceedingly rare cases, fragmentary impressions or echoes of donor memories were reported, creating an almost ghost-like resonance within the AI consciousness.

  DONOR REQUIREMENTS: To address the severe ethical considerations surrounding this process, Department Two-Blue implemented strict donor eligibility criteria:

  


      
  1. Age Requirement: Donors must be over the age of 35.


  2.   
  3. Counseling Period: A mandatory six-month psychological evaluation and counseling process was required before final approval.


  4.   
  5. Medical Status: Donors must possess a terminal medical diagnosis.


  6.   
  7. Psychological Fitness: No conditions aligning with disorders listed in the DSM-23 could be present.


  8.   
  9. Academic Merit: Donors had to meet rigorous intellectual and educational benchmarks, as outlined in Appendices A and B.


  10.   


  These measures ensured not only the ethical oversight of the program but also the long-term stability and reliability of the resulting AI constructs.

  PROGRAM HISTORY: A total of twenty-five SADU units were created and strategically distributed across autonomous zones within human-controlled space. Over five decades of continuous operation, these units have demonstrated remarkable resilience, innovation, and reliability.

  Each SADU has:

  


      
  • Maintained control over its respective zone with minimal oversight.


  •   
  • Contributed extensively to scientific research across multiple fields, including materials science, astrophysics, and medicine.


  •   
  • Played a pivotal role in repelling Jihad incursions, significantly reducing both military and civilian casualties.


  •   
  • Enhanced humanity’s standard of living and technological prowess through unparalleled logistical and strategic innovations.


  •   


  By every measurable standard—military efficacy, scientific advancement, and humanitarian contribution—the SADU program has been an unqualified success.
