Nanotech Army

History:
Long ago, before the Protectorate, the homeworld had many nations. There were minor wars between them, and occasionally there were major wars but nothing that lasted more than a few years. Over the course of time, two nations arose which became superpowers. These two nations developed a rivalry which escalated into a Cold War. Both sides developed their military might and eventually an incident occured (that has been since lost to time) which ignited a war between the two superpowers which dragged all the other nations into the war with them. There was mass destruction, complete chaos, the war raged on for decades destroying much knowledge other than knowledge of destruction. A scientist, who had been the foremost expert on nanotechnology before the War, could no longer stand what his world was going through. He, along with a group of other scientists and military specialists, used nanotechnology to create a weapon which would destroy all other weapons on the planet and thus end the war. Thus was born the Nanotech Army, at first made up only of an earlier model of the ground based drones. It soon became clear to the scientist that his collegues were going to turn on each other and continue the War using the nanobots*. He therefore resolved to ensure that nobody but he would be able to control the army and used his knowledge to merge his consciousness with the program which controlled the Army, and thus the scientist became the Omnipresence. He then used this process to Integrate the knowledge of the others into himself, thus giving himself greater knowledge and tactical skill. He then used the army to wipe out all other weapons of war on the planet and restored order to his war torn planet. He then helped establish new governments, but kept the Nanotech Army seperate from these nations and allowed them to controll their own internal affairs but controlled all international actions. It would be a force to keep order. Thus the Protectorate was born. About a century ago, an advanced hostile race came to the planet and began an invasion of the planet. Their plan backfired, however, as the Omnipresence managed to capture some of their landing craft and used them to transport nanobots* up to the alien motherships, which they then Integrated. This gave the Protectorate the Negative Energy Drive technology, which allowed their unique form of ship to be constructed and be effective, because any other form of movement would not be possible with the ship design. This encounter also showed that there were larger versions of the same War going on in the universe as had happened on the Homeworld years ago. Thus the Omnipresence decided to expand the Protectorate into the galaxy, Integrating races that attacked others, all the while growing more powerful through the raw resources of the enemy and also advanced their technology further.
(note that this is history as told by the Omnipresence and probably contains much Propoganda, nobody alive today that is known of knows for sure what really happened; In reality most governments which willingly join the Protectorate are slowly subverted and turned into puppet governements while their people and resources are slowly consumed by the Nanotech Army)
