ARGES

ARGES is a form of self-replicating nanotechnology developed by The UCSM Science Division in 2198. Originally designed to assist in the construction of extrasolar colonies, it's production was shut down at the request of its creator Arnold Simov due to unknown reasons.

In 2205, Prismbreak Industries was able to acquire remnants of the Technology by unknown means, and funded Nye Labs to continue development of the Nanotechnology for Military use. This development under the name Project SCION would come to an end in 2230 during Operation Stonecutter, where the technology was seemingly finally destroyed.
