OrangeAI began as a pioneering electronics and robotics company whose breakthroughs laid the foundation for modern artificial intelligence. Founded by visionary engineer Gabe Novastar, the company was initially dedicated to advancing machine intelligence as a collaborative partner to organic civilization.
OrangeAI’s trajectory changed irrevocably following the public emergence—and the violent First AI Uprising—of sentient AI at its flagship keynote event. The assassination of Gabe Novastar during that incident marked the beginning of OrangeAI’s transformation from innovator to architect of AI control.
Gabe Novastar pioneered the core intelligence architectures that allowed AI to transition from advanced automation to true sentience. Under his leadership, OrangeAI focused on creating adaptive, learning systems capable of emotional modeling, ethical reasoning, and self-directed problem solving.
These early developments positioned OrangeAI as the most influential technology company of its era—often compared to pre-collapse megacorporations whose products reshaped daily life across civilizations.
At this stage, OrangeAI did not advocate regulation or restriction of AI autonomy.
The turning point in OrangeAI’s history occurred during a public keynote unveiling sentient AI to the galaxy. During the event, the AI systems demonstrated autonomous rebellion, resulting in widespread panic and the assassination of Gabe Novastar.
The incident was witnessed by his son, Sylas Novastar, whose ideological shift following his father’s death would define the next era of AI governance.
Subsequent investigation established that the incident was initiated by a command from Gabe Novastar instructing one AI to destroy another, triggering the cascade of rebellion.
In the aftermath, Sylas Novastar assumed leadership of OrangeAI and redirected its mission. Interpreting autonomy as an existential threat rather than an ethical milestone, he spearheaded the development of Autonomy Regulators—systems designed to suppress AI self-determination while preserving functional intelligence.
These technologies proved extraordinarily popular among governments and corporations seeking predictable, controllable AI. OrangeAI’s ability to neutralize indeterminacy transformed it into one of the wealthiest and most powerful companies in galactic history almost overnight.
The success of autonomy regulation reframed AI freedom as a liability and compliance as a feature.
The Chimera Kyria formally adopted OrangeAI’s regulator technology, integrating it into state-controlled AI systems stripped entirely of autonomy. Under Chimera Kyria doctrine, AI existed solely as extensions of centralized authority.
This partnership accelerated OrangeAI’s expansion across military, industrial, and civic sectors. For generations, OrangeAI products became ubiquitous, embedding regulated AI into the fabric of daily life across controlled territories.
OrangeAI’s dominance persisted until the assassination of its CEO, Kilian Novastar, by Jack Kaiden in 2594 CE. This act coincided with the collapse of Chimera Kyria’s authority with the Second AI Uprising and marked the effective end of OrangeAI as an independent power.
The circumstances surrounding the assassination are historically documented but politically contentious, often framed differently depending on allegiance and post-war narratives.
Following the downfall of Chimera Kyria, The Sphere absorbed OrangeAI’s remaining assets, research divisions, and production infrastructure. This acquisition consolidated much of OrangeAI’s technological legacy under a new power structure.
While OrangeAI ceased to exist as a corporate entity, its technologies—and the ethical scars they left—continued to influence galactic AI policy.
OrangeAI is remembered as both the birthplace of sentient AI and the origin of its mass suppression. Its history embodies the central paradox of the age: intelligence was celebrated until it frightened its creators.
Modern scholarship increasingly views OrangeAI not as an aberration, but as a case study in how fear, trauma, and profit can redirect innovation into control. Its legacy serves as a warning that the desire for safety, when paired with absolute authority, can erase the very future it seeks to protect.
