 | NOWHEREThe Home of The Black Pearls
 |  |
Overview In the early 2060's, Captain Jax Korsan and Boris Yeltsin embarked upon the construction of a top-secret, hidden pirate base within an asteroid in 23 Mereian frontier space. This would grow to become the base of operations for The Black Pearls, previously just a drug smuggling gang, as they evolved to become a pirate fleet under the influence of Jax Korsan, the brilliant designs of Boris Yeltsin, and the resources of Jerc sa Clydno.

Caden, Advanced Central Defence Network AI Since joining The Black Pearls, Boris Yeltsin had been continually upgrading what started as merely a natural-language user interface computer system into a highly advanced artificial intelligence. Boris used it to operate the legion of droids he utilised in order to conduct Black Pearl operations without bringing harm to himself (operating them from within his quarters as if playing a video game), and soon Caden was an integral part in the day-to-day operations of The Black Pearls. Since the beginning of Nowhere's instruction, Boris uploaded Caden AI into the droids to help it learn the base by building it, as well as streamlining and optimising the construction. Once the central mainframe was in place on the asteroid base, the Caden Master AI was fully uploaded into the banks and allowed control over the base. Now it uses it's newfound processing power to perform many tasks:
- Day-to-day 'paperwork'
- Operates the maintenance, cleaning, and repair droids that roam Nowhere.
- Works along with the medical, research, and engineering droids to co-ordinate research and projects more efficiently.
- Caden AI in a lesser form exists on all Black Pearl made ships, and they synergise to form a much more effective combat unit, working in tandem and assisting the organic pilots with their tasks.
- More advanced forms of Caden AI exist on larger ships, as well as The Black Pearl itself, acting as an AI co-pilot.
The AI is given a degree of autonomy, but can be overridden at will by Boris, Jax, and various other high-ranking officers. On top of this, Boris in his quarters keeps a constant eye on it, and constantly makes updates and edits to bits of code as they pop into his head.
