"Livelihood is expansion, expansion is progress.""[1]

Bastion, designated Ba_0423419v4.89, was one the eight colony AIs included as a part of the colony development aspect of Project Marathon.[2] He was responsible for colony infrastructure, construction, planetary surveillance, zone location identification, and colony expansion. His family suite included Arthur, Lilith, and Bastion.[1]

History[edit]

Bastion was the first AI to reach Tau Ceti IV, at the site designated as Javelin.[3] His support crew were responsible for the initial analysis and surveying of the planet, after which he prepped and deployed colony outposts alongside Arthur, Leela, and Tycho.[1]

In a memo to the members of the Science and Engineering Action Group, it was recommended by Bernhard Strauss that Bastion may need to go onto accelerated re-compile cycle. The SCIENG crew was to be informed of this.[2]

Personality[edit]

Bastion was described by Bernhard Strauss as a "Problem solver; confident, bordering on boastful."[2] He was not averse to siphoning resources from other areas of the colony to aid in expansion.[1]
