Another bloody clone! I am eternally damned.

HIVE

HIVE is a type of advanced Colonial Fleet AI unit primarily utilized on military vessels and fighters, designed to assist pilots and facilitate ship systems. The Fleet guarded military HIVE units closely, restricting their use and causing them to self-destruct if their vessel was destroyed. They are typically connected to the AETERNA network. They adapt and can develop unique personalities catered to their recipients, but still follow a set of standard programming.
