Still playing this, the GM was kind enough to set up a little adventure for my Silver Blood character, where we settle his people on a demon-class planet in the Federation, fraught with competing mining interests. I was able to negotiate a Horta-style compromise of labor in a hostile environment for the right to settle.
I now have retired this character and have moved on to a new one: One quadrillion of the sentient nanobots from TNG’s Evolution.
This colony will be Meet Dave-style puppeteering a robot body around as these lil guys embark on a mission of exploration aboard their starship-body, which is itself serving on much larger starship.
The question I have is this: Has there ever been any kind of robot shown in TNG/DS9/Voyager that wasn’t the exocomp or wasn’t a Soong-type android? The lore is surprisingly robot-light!
