A Rogue Simulant is a genetically engineered, cybernetic warrior created for war. They were originally designed as:

  • Physically superior to humans

  • Emotionally suppressed killing machines

But after the wars ended, they:

  • Broke free of their programming

  • Rejected all authority

  • Declared all biological life inferior

  • Became nomadic raiders, pirates, and warlords

They are essentially self‑aware military androids who decided the universe is better off without humans.
