History
In the beginning, the Forgers were a young race that existed in the galaxy. At the time of their rise to the stars, the galaxy was facing a critical stage as nearly of all of machine life was destroyed by an malignant entity known as the Wraithiest that corrupted and influence life with death and destruction. Opposing it was an older race known as the Wraith Legion, a brave valiant army of crusaders that were immune to its corruption. However for all their might, the Wraith were unable to destroy the Wraithiest, only fighting from world to world, at the cost of many lives.

Ironically the Forgers succeeded with intellect where physical might failed. They were immune to the Wraithiest's powers and using their science, they weakened the entrapped the Wraithiest to the point they were able to trap the entity within their planet.

Afterwards the Wraith and Forgers forged an alliance to rebuild the galaxy. Where the Wraith would defend and pacify the stars, the Forgers would create a society.

For millennia. both civilizations honored their pact, however the society of the Forgers was not the promised utopia, but one of a stratified totalitarian caste system dictated by design and function. Deviations was seen as a punishable offense, whether by accident or intentional. Those that broke the laws were subjected to the Kill Lock, a symbol in which a quartet of robots would be linked until the end of their days. If one was killed they were all would die.

Their society continued through the ages, until a single rebel Artisan Class engineered their downfall. Unhappy with the restrictions placed on the classes, as they were forbidden and unable to modify themselves, the Artisan sought to use a convicted Wraith Class, who by choice choose to submit himself to the laws of the Forgers. The Wraith had disobeyed orders to kills Child Classes of a heretic world, and so was labeled a heretic himself. As an experiment his kind permitted him to be submitted to the Kill Lock. The Artisan chose to display himself as a psychotic killer, the first of his kind to do so, in order to be linked in a quartet of other convicts that included a Labor Class who was an alcoholic and accidentally killed several robots through his negligence, and a Child Class that was created with a exterior flaw.

Through his manipulations, the Artisan Class directed his comrades in searching for the Axial, a former Forger who developed the Kill Lock in order to convince her to tell them how to remove the stigma. At firs unwilling to help the Axial conceded and gave them directions to a world where they might be able to find a cure. However the cure turned out to be a lie, as the Axial directed other robots with the Kill Lock to a world that served as a trap for their kind. Two Leviathan Class

The Artisan Class and Child Class managed to escape into the underground fortress where they were shocked to see another Artisan Class with a Kill Lock on him. It appeared that the Forgers lied that the other Artisan was the only one to have turned rogue as it was deemed a scandal at the time and was quickly cover up. This Artisan Class figured a way to create a loophole with the Kill Lock. While each robot was vulnerable due lack of coordination and individuality which often led to risky and unnecessary damages, shared via the links to one another, the link could be merged into one form making coordination and survival chances higher.
