The Dark Ages of technology were a period where the Stone Men, humans as we understand them today, created the Iron Men, beings like Acumen. Artificial intelligences and masses of the utmost techno-heresy. They attempted to enslave humanity, and destroy it, succeeding in the former, and at times the latter in localized areas. And then... humanity fought back, in various places and times throughout the galaxy. The Iron Men were eradicated, except for a few old standard template constructs which were in various forgotten technological caches. I discovered one of these... and destroyed it. It had been corrupted, and the Iron men within were like misshapen monsters.
