Among these was the head of Quality Assurance for MorganNet, a woman who turned out to be Sinder Roze herself.
Dozens of computer experts and hundreds of their friends and supporters vanished from bases around Planet overnight. Finally, in one of Planet's earliest inter-factional crises, the Angels revealed their hand. System administrators worked to secure their networks and trap the hackers, but without much success. Within a few years, there were widespread rumors about a "network underground," led by a mysterious figure known only by the alias of Sinder Roze.įor a long time, no one took the so-called "Data Angels" seriously. Inevitably, administrators across Planet became aware of hackers in the net. The situation was much like the early days of the Internet, in which networks were designed to be immediately useful rather than rigorously secure. Shortly after Planetfall, the colonists struggled to build information networks in support of research and base administration.
They also acquire a free Covert Ops Center in each base, after they discover Pre-Sentient Algorithms. In addition, the Angel faction automatically gains any technology known by at least three other infiltrated factions, due to their constant covert activities. Their lack of social structure makes police procedures more difficult, but they are highly effective spies-their bases are very difficult to penetrate, and Angel probe actions cost less than those of other factions.
Their detractors call them “hackers” and thieves-but the Angels are mostly interested in the excitement of covert operations. The Angels are dedicated to a flow of free information and equal opportunity for all. Although they can grow into a formidable military power if need be, the Angels prefer the use of their highly skilled probe teams. As a splinter group of the Morgan faction, the Data Angels live in a shadow world of intrigue, conspiracy, and covert operations, working to undermine the established governments of Planet.
