Ouroboros Mainframe

The Ouroboros Mainframe, known to the Xyrbyx as Xyrxyzozyc Axox, is an extremely advanced Xyrbyx artifact located in the Andromeda Galaxy, close to the galactic core. Along with the Corvid Mainframe, it is one of the two Xyrbyx Mainframes located inside of The Cluster, and is one of the oldest pieces of alien technology known to exist in this region of space, its creation being estimated as having occurred at least 20 million years before the emergence of the Serphiads. Though it has been largely ignored by both major and minor civilizations due to its staggering complexity, certain groups have managed to siphon small amounts of data from the mainframe and used it to bolster their own technology. This was notoriously tried by the Thotonci Alliance during the Thotonci War of Betrayal in their attempt to gain a technological advantage over the Zetylian Hegemony. The Ouroboros Mainframe resembles a gigantic icosahedron the size of a small star, comprised of an indestructible dark-gray substance with a network of glowing purple lines creating a complex maze-like structure on the surface of the mainframe. Its name stems from one of its unique Xyrbyx defense mechanisms. Using advanced Xyrbyx dimensional engineering, the Ouroboros Mainframe is capable of moving into a fourth dimension of space, where it is untouchable by ordinary three-dimensional beings. The Ouroboros Mainframe has been known to disappear into this fourth dimension for millennia at a time, meaning it has effectively phased in and out of existence in The Cluster for millions of years.
