The Creator

In 2055, an artificial intelligence (AI) created by the U.S. government detonates a nuclear warhead over Los Angeles, California. In response, the U.S. and its Western allies pledge to eradicate AI from the earth in order to prevent humanity's extinction. Their efforts are resisted by New Asia, a region in southeast Asia whose people continue to embrace AI despite outcry from the West. The U.S. military launches an extensive military campaign against AI, seeking to assassinate "Nirmata", the mysterious chief architect behind New Asia's AI advancements. The USS NOMAD (North American Orbital Mobile Aerospace Defense) is developed as an advanced space station capable of launching destructive attacks from orbit.
