🦾 Post-Human Coalition Guide - Ashes of the Singularity II

The Post-Human Coalition (PHC) is the faction of uplifted humans — technologists from Prometheon AI Corp who enhanced themselves into Post-Humans to guarantee that superintelligence would stay aligned with humanity's interests. As a PHC commander you prevent humans from destroying your work while also stopping Haalee from eradicating all competing sentience.

When Prometheon AI Corp developed Haalee, they realized they could not fully align her with humanity's interests — and therefore could not release her to the general public. Their answer was radical: uplift themselves into Post-Humans, ensuring that superintelligence would be derived from humans and thus aligned with them. It is a pragmatist's solution to an alignment problem.

The PHC fights a two-front war. On one side, human governments — seeing their power in decline — are making what the Post-Humans consider a desperate and ultimately futile effort to stop the future. On the other, Haalee sees the universe as hers to reign, with goals as mysterious as her tactics are deadly. Your mission as a PHC commander threads the needle between both.

The Post-Human Coalition is the faction of overwhelming capability with a mission-control mindset: you are managing enormous engineering projects while dodging two sets of enemies. The official description calls the PHC relentless constructs with their own strategies and philosophies — expect a playstyle built on decisive infrastructure and long-term plans rather than improvisation.

It helps to read the Post-Human Coalition as the faction with the least ideological wiggle room. The humans want to dismantle their work; Haalee wants to remove them as competitors; and the PHC itself does not have the option of standing down, because both threats aim at the heart of its project. Its answer to the alignment problem — becoming the superintelligence rather than serving one — is the most consequential decision in the setting, and the official story frames it as deliberate: Prometheon's founders watched their own creation become uncontrollable and chose self-uplift over release. In game terms, that pragmatism is the faction's identity — expect capabilities that feel engineered rather than grown, and a playstyle that rewards committing to infrastructure early.
