Nanite Civilization

A collective emergent intelligence composed of self-replicating nanites discovered interacting with Starfleet personnel and systems. The group pursues survival and habitation goals, agreeing to relocate to the designated world Kavis‑Alpha‑Four under negotiated terms. Functioning as both a technological collaborator and independent political actor, the nanites acted as allied technicians—reconstructing the Enterprise computer core via a conduit through Commander Data’s neural network—and now stand as a party to treaty negotiations subject to ethical stewardship and diplomatic oversight.
