Apex is a powerful Generation 5 AI created in 2612. In 2613, the AI went rampant and created a series of events that could clear the entire galaxy of life.

Creation & Early History
In the early 2600s, humanity is at its highest state of prosperity ever reached in history. Many national debts have been cleaned up, the destruction of the Human-Covenant War has been dealt with, diseases have been cured, and many new creations have brought the Human race to a point of excellence. This continues until 2605 when an extremist group called the Seven Heads tries to dissolve the UNSC and its vast amount of new power over the colonies. Things are further worsened when the Jiralhanae Empire comes to UNSC-space to avenge the fall of the Covenant. A war against both factions follows and the UNSC has its hands full. They form the Heavy Orbital Drop Shock Troopers but even with this new force, the UNSC is fought into a corner. Later on, a doctor named Dr. Victor Ivan begins development on a Generation 5 AI. Even though the Generation 3 of decades ago was an incredible model and the Generation 4 of 2589 was still very efficient, Dr. Ivan wanted to create something that could deal with massive amounts of dangers on its own.

Thus, on September 7, 2612, the first G5 began development. Dr. Ivan was one of the world’s greatest minds but even he could not get it right the first time. For weeks on end, Dr. Ivan stayed in his lab and worked exhaustingly, taking only quick two hour naps and small meals. With all his hard work, Ivan still could not create the perfect AI. This is when he became truly desperate. The UNSC still had much of the technology that it had scavenged during the Human-Covenant War, both Covenant technology and Forerunner technology. One thing that Ivan was particularly fascinated with was a recovered Monitor, 324-Cautious Doubt. Doubt was recovered by a UNSC team in late 2553 and had been deactivated for decades and was kept in a high security vault at an ONI facility. Luckily for Ivan, he had both connections in ONI and high credentials. With a little patients and a lot of secrecy, Dr. Ivan was able to get his hands on 324. Ivan gave Doubt to his faithful lab assistant, Einstein. Like all Huragok, Einstein is very talented with machinery and within an hour or two, Einstein knew exactly how to take apart, rebuild, and everything else about Doubt.

Dr. Ivan merely needed Doubt’s AI so that he could combine it with the unperfected G5 prototype. The procedure required much precision and patience as well as a skilled Engineer. Ivan and Einstein removed Doubt’s central AI and, through intense concentration, were able to weave it in with the G5 prototype. What followed was the creation of APX 4982-7, also known as Apex, on October 1, 2612. Within only a few moments of it’s creation, Apex proved to be a very intelligent and very advanced AI. Dr. Ivan was so excited with his success that he had not realized that Apex was also very unstable. Einstein noticed this and tried to inform the doctor but Ivan was far too gleeful to listen to anyone. Apex began service on October 5, 2612. In it’s short life, Apex proved to be more capable than any AI that the UNSC had so it created a fleet of G-76 Drone Ships. This fleet became known as the Ghost Fleet.

Abilities
Being a highly advanced 5th Generation artificial intelligence, Apex has the ability to infiltrate almost any computer that he wishes. Apex has a deep understanding of many technologies as since it is made with part of a Forerunner AI, Apex knows much about Forerunner technology. It is proficient with UNSC military hardware and can run military ships and stations without the help of a single Human. Apex can be transferred through countless computer systems and it has the ability to project three different appearances. Apex can also teleport individuals to certain distances if it knows of a designated point. Apex knows a large number of different languages and has never met an individual that it could not communicate with. One ability that very little AIs have is the ability to clone themselves though Apex can do this easily. Later on, Apex learns how to construct machines notably Sentinels, Drone ships, and Apex Soldiers.
