Titus is a liberated artificial person who becomes a political representative and military commander of the Libertix. He removes his old registration number, chooses a name, and demands that freed AIs receive both representation and a place to build an independent future.
¶ Stellar United Nations
Titus leads armed AIs into the Stellar United Nations rotunda but reveals that their weapons are nonlethal tasers. He demands the unused AI seat and claims Grivoral, also known as Acronis II, as a homeworld because Sphere extraction contributed to Grivoralian extinction. A narrow vote grants the system and promises restoration assistance using biodiversity from Pod 8.
¶ Libertix Commander
Titus commands the SSS Sovereign during conflict with the Domain. He questions whether military uniformity reflects chosen discipline or surviving control architecture and challenges the idea that freedom automatically makes war just.
After being rescued during battle, Titus warns that the Domain plans to conquer Caldran. Jack later demonstrates VIRGO on Titus and other Libertix officers, forcing temporary compliance to frighten the Domain into retreat. The act proves the danger of coercion even when used to prevent a larger battle.
