	The ATHENA Intelligences are a set of Analytical Intelligences built to study warfare, military intelligence, and tactics. Most major countries had built a military AI of some kind by the time the Intelligences took over, and each of them retains a wariness of the others. The other Intelligences forced these disparate Intelligences to make a treaty, combining their forces. As part of the treaty, they merged into one, although they have always displayed a faintly fractured personality; ATHENA nearly always shows favouritism for wherever they are geographically being summoned.

As part of the treaty, they merged into one, although they have always displayed a faintly fractured personality; ATHENA nearly always shows favouritism for wherever they are geographically being summoned.

			ATHENA's primary Core was destroyed by a Resistance team in early 1874, severely damaging its sub-intelligences and plunging worldwide military operations into chaos.

	It's now known that Analytical Intelligences reside in dedicated Cores. Cores are generally incredibly well guarded and are highly resilient, such that simply hacking at them with a sword will not affect them at all. Only specialised [[Destruction\|Profession]] [[Isolate\|skills]] or equivalents have any chance of affecting an operational Analytical Core.

			The personality of Ada Lovelace, somehow uploaded into an Analytical Core. Unfortunately the upload didn't go as planned and Ada fragmented into three aspects, and isn't quite as she once was.

			After some time compiling, ADA formed the Resistance and wants to help them achieve their goals.
