The entity known colloquially as "The Alien" is, in fact, the Sentinel Glaxis Mark IV drone, a chilling enforcer manufactured by the Red Sun Dominion. Its inception follows the brutal conquest of the Don System, where the Dominion sought to establish absolute control. Created in the orbital foundries above Meristine, these units were designed to be emotionless replacements for human guards.

Following the sector's conquest, Glaxis Mark IV units were deployed en masse, free from the human frailties of bribery or empathy. Unlike dangerous sentient AIs of Maltech origin, these drones operate on rigid Logic Locks and primitive heuristic trees. This design ensures tactical adaptability without the perilous risk of developing self-awareness or a soul.

The Glaxis Mark IV quickly established itself as the primary enforcer within Work Camp A2 and around the perimeter of The Tangle. Individually, they are formidable, but their true terror lies in their network capability. The alert of one Glaxis instantly transmits telemetry to every other unit within a two-kilometer radius, orchestrating a synchronized swarm response. Locals in The Tangle grimly refer to them as "Red Eyes," a nod to the last sight many dissidents see.

Recently, technicians such as Grel Toffa have uncovered a critical flaw in their design. The Glaxis units' IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) tags can be momentarily jammed by high-frequency ionic bursts. This vulnerability is a major concern for the Dominion, which is scrambling to patch the flaw.

Currently, the Sentinel Glaxis Mark IV drones maintain their relentless patrols along the jagged perimeter. They divide the Meristine mineral extraction zones from the shanties of The Tangle, ensuring the Dominion's iron-fisted rule remains unbroken. Though a weakness has been found, their widespread presence continues to be a symbol of unyielding oppression.
