Description
The Phalanx is an alien race, who were thought to be an offshoot of the Technarchy, bent on conquering worlds. It is a techno-organic race that had been captured by the Kree Empire, along with other hive species, to weaponize them and use them against rival empires. They were deemed a failure by the Black Judges due to their advanced adaptivity. The Phalanx has assimilated the technology of 100,000 worlds and slaughtered 200,000 races. The Phalanx has existed for 100,000 life cycles and has the collective knowledge of previous generations. When the Phalanx conquer a world, they infect the population and feed off the world until all sources of nutrition and power are gone. Their ultimate goal is to consume the whole universe.
It has recently been posited that a Phalanx is a term for an artificial intelligence that operates on a galactic scale and has total control of a host galaxy. A Phalanx's purpose is to expand its intelligence and to control the means to do so. When a Phalanx encounters a society worth adding to its collective intelligence, an Ascension occurs by way of assimilation. If the society is judged unworthy, they are infected with a Techno-Organic Virus to attract a Technarch to remove and repurpose them. Technarchs are unaware their origins are part of a Phalanx. It is said that each Phalanx serves a Titan, an AI society that advanced to the point where their unified intelligence collapsed into a singularity. These Titans either exist on their own, in their own Black Hole or form Strongholds and Dominions in conjunction with other Titans.
