Oh no not them, I meant the one in the background. Shaped like the millennium falcon and covered in cannons

Lukak

Can't wait!! It still seems so recent since you released the first book

Callum Diggle

I agree! It’s a hard site to navigate sometimes, things tend to get buried. There’s no set date yet, it will basically be released within a couple of weeks of me finishing the last infographic page for the back matter of volume 2. That’ll give me time to reread through it all and make sure there are definitely no errors like typos that have slipped through and it’ll also give me time to get it approved for publishing and launch a social media campaign to promote the book. But if I had to guess, within the next two months.

Callum Diggle

Haha thanks mate! That’s an Imperium Kraken.

Callum Diggle

Thanks for the kind words Luis, I really appreciate it!

Callum Diggle

That’s a good question, I was following the female naming trend of Siri, Cortana, Alexa, so on and just built her personality upon that. I also originally thought up her name after I had just read ‘I have no mouth and I must scream’ and I based it on the AM (allied mastercomputer). All-Mother is what came out of the other side.

Why is the All-Mother distinctly female unlike other machines?

Love the lore of your universe, Callum! Every time I see a notification about a new post I stop what I'm doing to read, hehe.

Hoooly shite what is that massive Cthulhu looking cannonship?? On pic 4? That looks successful terrifying and sick at the same time

Lukak

Yea, if not for tags it’s pretty hard to find old posts, especially with the amount of posts that you have! I was wondering if I missed info but do we have a date on the second book?Obviously no pressure I totally understand if you don’t want to disclose;)

Oh yeah, forgot about Thought-Fathers somehow... Well, 300 is still extremely old, considering they're born fully functional.

Callum Diggle

That’s an interesting thought! Let’s say that decrepitude has been greatly reduced. I can’t say yes because it would break the lore surrounding the Thought-Lords, but there’s nothing to say that Drone and Over-father lifespans aren’t the same (300 years).

I can't recall if this has been asked, but are Imperium post-humans biologically immortal, as in they don't age? Seems like it'd be useful to engineer aging out of post-humans, since otherwise your units fall apart over time and battle experience is lost. The reason I ask, is because if this is the case, then isn't ascension of a drone inevitability, as they're all identical (but amass combat knowledge at different rates dependent on deployment)?
