The Automata were in the original thread at the time when it was approved by Wes. This thread is basically just going into deeper detail and explaining what they are exactly. I wanted to emphasize how poor the Deoradh genetic technology is compared to their mechatronics, which is why the Automata are much superior to the Deoradh (and why the Deoradh use implant and cybernetics so liberally), but I guess it could just as easily sound like the Automata are super robots. I'll may have to reword the post.
And yeah, I've been talking to one or two people about some RP, but the main problem is that the Deoradh travel using thermal rockets and solar sails. That means it would take them easily over a century (possibly more than one) to travel to reach their nearest neighbors, either the YSE or NDI. So they have to sit tight until someone stumbles across them, though I can probably do some internal RP in the meanwhile.
Anyways, back on topic. More thoughts, questions, or things I didn't explain clearly?
