The Tier Sintricates were a biomechanical species. They were created to manage the Tier stepped habitat, and did so after the habitat's mysterious builders disappeared.[1]
Physiology[]
The sintricates' bodies were small spheres, ranging from half a metre to two metres in diameter, and covered in long articulated spines.[1]
Sintricates could float.[2] They were also able to communicate audibly. [3]
Psychology[]
Individual sintricates had limited intelligence, but were collectively very intelligent. They distrusted entities that had less of a biological basis than themselves, such as drones, AIs and avatars.[1]
