LBX-7683 Robot Uprising

The LBX-7683 Robot Uprising took place on the asteroid LBX-7683 in 2283.

LBX-7683 is located in the Erican Cluster. At the time of the insurgency, it was inhabited by a group of mining robots built by the Liandri Mining Corporation. The Liandri also built a factory that could continuously supply new robots to help mine the asteroid.

In 2283 the robots started a revolt, led by Xan Kriegor. They succeeded in taking over control of the asteroid. As a response, Liandri sent in a squad to fight off the continually growing army of robots and take back LBX-7683 by destroying the main AI generators, removing the robots' method of replicating themselves. Most robots were put into a statis matrix. Xan resisted, but Liandri eventually managed to wipe his memory.

In 2291, Liandri started the Liandri Grand Tournament, and entered the reprogrammed robots as "The Corrupt", lead by Xan, who won the tournament, continuing his reign as champion until he was finally defeated in 2293 by Malcolm.

Unreal Tournament 2004's AS-RobotFactory is a recreation of the LBX-7683 Robot Uprising.
