As the UESC-Pfhor War rages on, more planets that have been scarred by the Pfhor Empire reach out to Sol Core; one of these, Rumina, is one of Sol Core's few allies to count native, sentient AI among its citizenry.

The problem is that, at least within Rumina's outer navy, AIs/androids are...not treated particularly well, with most laws on the books rubbing up against that razor's edge of outright declaring AIs to be property. Many regions on Rumina treat AIs better than this, but its most prominent world power, Faunalia, doesn't--and they're the ones who control most of the planet's naval forces.

Ruminan androids can be recognized by their ancient style of dress; while functionally identical to human-coded AIs aside from the obvious, android vessels must be built to specifically accommodate each user's species (ex. a caribou AI can't fit into a vessel meant for a dog AI). The four androids pictured here are (L to R) Juniper, Willow, Acacia, and Cypress.

The fox twins, I'd already drawn here; Acacia is based on a sphinx I doodled in 2018.
