SIVA is a Golden Age breakthrough in self-assembling, self-replicating nanotechnology, created by Clovis Bray to accelerate humanity's colonization effort.
This technology has the ability to create nearly anything that anyone could ever need. Prototypes currently contained in the Clovis Bray facilities on Mars are each programmed with only a single function, including Construct creation, viral armor enhancements, and cybernetic diagnostics.
Considered an amazing breakthrough in technology by governmetn around the world, SIVA is envisioned to be used in the creation of structures and colonies on new worlds faster than regular construction methods;
SIVA is an all-purpose nanomachine capable of breaking down matter and reconstituting it, with applications ranging from reconstructive surgery to rapidly building entire cities.
The first SIVA replication chamber, designated Site 6, was built within the Russian Cosmodrome in order to outfit colony ships and rapidly build cities throughout other worlds. One such colony ship was the Exodus Black, which carried a cache of SIVA on it's journey to colonize Kepler-186. We are currently working with the Exodus Blue for a similar goal.
