Xo La Y
Minor solarist clade
of photonanotech cyborgs. Until the Ergod
Munts affair they were mainly known for their unusual encrypted
mental
architecture and fractal cluster intelligence. Each individual can act
as both an independent individual and exchange part of its mindstate
with other clade members within network reach, creating an
approximation of a collective intelligence but able to handle
interstellar distances at the price of slower collective
decision-making.
As their involvement in the destruction of Ergod Munts became known,
suspicion that the clade was more than just a collectivist movement
increased. They have been implicated in a wide variety of secret
activities, including infiltration, datanapping, chaos warfare and
memetic sabotage, possibly as agents for an unknown fraction in the Dominion government. It
is a common belief that the Xo La Y are a
Dominion anti-Cyberia group. A splinter group, the Xo La Zu, have
recently joined the Communion
claiming the need of political asylum and protection from both the
Dominion and anti-Xo La forces in the Inner Sphere.
