-Automata //(singular, Automaton)// are the machines designed by the [[faction:freespacers]], which allows them to operate entire fleets of ships with little or no organic crew. This is something quite important to a race with such a relatively tiny organic population (just over 1 million, as compared to the billions most other races have). Furthermore, 'living' crews incur a much higher maintenance cost (water, oxygen, food, recreation, productivity lost sleeping, etc) than machines, which further adds to the desirability of predominantly automaton crews aboard Freespacer vessels.+Automata //(singular, Automaton)// are the machines designed by the [[species:freespacers]], which allows them to operate entire fleets of ships with little or no organic crew.

 Simple-minded drones slaved to a larger computer network were common in the past, but as their reliance on motherships decreases, Automata are increasingly being constructed as fully independent and self-aware beings. Bodies made of purely metallic materials or salvaged composite forms continue to be the norm, yet organic (and even humanoid organic) components are also sometimes used, creating beings easily confused with human cyborgs. Simple-minded drones slaved to a larger computer network were common in the past, but as their reliance on motherships decreases, Automata are increasingly being constructed as fully independent and self-aware beings.
