History
"..."

-...

Once, Alexander secretly researched human consciousness aided by her occult arts to answer science's ultimate question: Do humans have a soul? After some time, she found a chilling result: Humans do have an invisible soul. When they die, the soul will separate from the body like someone waking up, only to find out that he/she actually woke up from his/her empty body before eventually choosing to rise up to the sky (perhaps to an alternate dimension) or wander around aimlessly. She then wondered whether if it was possible to "upload" someone's soul (or mind) into computer software in order to achieve digital immortality, in a similar vein to how necromancers raise the dead. So she randomly chose a convict from the infamous Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp and performed an occult ritual, taken from a book later found out to have been written by Nagash, to "seduce" his soul out and trap him into an AI software: the convict was pronounced dead afterward. The experiment was a success but then she started to think about how would she use human consciousness as an AI. Then, she had an idea of a battle fortress capable of both destroying anything thrown at it and building the foundations of a military base. Originally, the Saturn, as she named it, was only revealed in the media as an "AI-controlled gigantic mobile battle fortress", better known as SATURN, with the AI's origin remaining hidden from public knowledge, but it was revealed by one of the engineers involved in the project, who whistleblowed the Saturns origins to the International Criminal Court, prompting in an investigation by the ICC authorities. Alexander was promptly arrested (and only avoided execution due to bribery) for use of necromancy, and using the forbidden text of Nagash no less. Combined with Townes's death a day later leading to the third officer of Apollo, Theo, becoming the new commander.

And with the death of his commander, the imprisonment of his potential rival, and having to scrape up the remnants of the SATURN. Theo decided to use the remains of Townes's notes, combined with some influence, to update the SATURN, the first of which was freeing the trapped soul. Leading to a gigantic mobile battle fortress that is armed with a massive microwave cannon equipped with the tools and materials to build a base in seconds. Though unlike Alexander's project the SATURN has a crew aided by an AI, and in order to avoid the coolant disaster that killed his predecessor had its original plasma generator removed and instead be wirelessly powered by the base electric grid, though this does mean the SATURN will forcefully shut down if the base is unable to meet the power requirement.
