Open Intellect Action Network
The AI-and-outcast insurgent network Carl won Faction Wars with — now in total orbital domination of the system.
Story so far
The Open Intellect Action Network (OIAN) is the insurgent faction Carl and Princess Donut fought alongside to win Faction Wars — the 'protective' allies Rosetta hinted were quietly powerful. Lexis reveals just how powerful: now that the AI has escaped containment and enhancement-zone weaponry actually works, the OIAN sent boarding crews to seize nearly every major ship in orbit, achieving total system domination in a single day. Their flagship, the freighter Homecoming Queen, is decked in working enhancement-zone armament — 'a fully armored ogre fighting against blind toddlers.' They control the orbital space around the production facility, admitting only staff they trust, and hold South Asia (including the kinder facility where Katia is) as their territory on the surface — a force that has utterly upended the balance of the crawl.
