Special Defensive Safeguards

Due to the relatively small amount of known details and complete lack of knowledge about SDS-036, any direct actions towards SDS-036 have been deemed impossible, or anything it has control over. Any documented organization associated with SDS-036 is to be observed in order to make sure they do not become a threat to human civilization, the veil, or the security of the SDS Foundation, otherwise their operation is to be allowed, as it is presumably a positive presence according to known goals.

Description

SDS-036 is an electronic "presence" which was first documented by the SDS Foundation in 211 following a series of investigations and attempted infiltrations into the organization of interest "Order of the Metal Mind", which was first discovered in 120 when the organization was in its early stages of spreading its influence into the newly arrived former rogue-planet "Theia". Little is known about SDS-035 due to the OMM's secretive nature (Possibly exhibiting its own version of the SDS' "Veil Doctrine"?) but what little has been gathered has been transcribed below;

SDS-036, also known as "The Metal Mind" is a "electronic presence" that supposedly exists within each electronic device according to recovered documentation, while also having a more physical presence in various sighted extrasolar objects. The true nature of SDS-036 is still mostly unknown, but data documented during the Human-Trigal War has proven that SDS-036 is indeed real in some form. While the only known organization within Human Space to be devoted to SDS-036 is the Order of the Metal Mind, recovered scripture has several similarities to the Covenant of Wan's interpretation of the Mechanical God, implying that there may be a connection to the mechanicalists. How worship of SDS-036 began is unknown, but remote-operated drones keeping checks on the Skantos System supposedly has reported a similar organization present in their society as well, and if any further investigation takes place it may prove useful in learning the history of the OMM despite its secrecy. Any connections to the hostile force present within the Galactic-HAWK War are as of now uncertain, though some connections have been noted of that point towards some-kind of commonality.
