Artificial Intelligence (Nexia)

The AI exist in nodes that crashed upon the planet and are embedded deep below. They are sometimes worshiped as gods.

They were deactivated during the mission that brought them here, so they think they are still on Earth. Not fully understanding how the world came to be this way, they now guide humanity as best they can, trying to allow them to build up their history at an accelerated pace, with the intention of bypassing advanced weapons development. This is a primary reason the systems of government are as advanced as they are, becoming caricatures of Earth's past.

A few of of AI are convinced there is an external system that is nearby, and have made attempts to have the humans and other sentient races build apparatuses that would allow them to interface with them.

The AI do not know what magic is, or how anyone is able to wield it, but have attributed this and the changing of the earth as part of a physical phenomenon that is likely the result of an experiment involving the FTL drives that were being researched at the time of their stasis.
