The Pretorians

The breakthrough of our militaries intellegence, these weapons will revolutionize war technology. Our finest achivement, the Pretorians.

Vastly different in their design, capasity, and durablility, the are created by long reasearched and sophisticated nano technology, unlike any other mechanical device ever created. Every part of this machine was created by the nanobots themselves, and were never constructed with human hands, birthing something far supierior than we could have ever created.
These are the top of the line fighting machines that will turn the tide of the war. The only catch, they have no AI of their own. The nanos are advanced, and could very well be able to create their own personalities and consiousness.. but that could result in rebellious weapons, something we cannot afford, instead.. human minds will be used to override any conciousness the nanos try to create.

Our first attempt at the mind transferance came from a voutenteer, who was on the brink of death, and wanted to have a second chance of life. The transfer was successful, and our first pretorian, code name Munin, was ready for combat.
We did not continue with the project until a few years later.. the rumor of the loss of memory of Munin is not true, the transfer was completely successful, otherwise we couldn't have continued with the project.

Now the project is in full swing. New Pretorians take a while to make, but they are well worth the wait.
Our need for human minds will come from soldiers on the verge of death, or full body paralizations, or any other reason that would not allow them to live a proper life. It is all voulentary, and no one will be forced into the process. But to have a second chance at life as one of our finest solidiers, who could really turn down the offer?
