Cerebron

An aquatic being, with large brains, eight tentacles and two antenna. They excel at complex mathematical and logical computations. They can join together to form a conclave in which they exchange neural signals so as to act as a giant super-brain to make decisions and design complex algorithms.

Cerebron have plural (https://morethanone.info) minds with parallel streams of consciousness.

Almost all Cerebron are members of the Federation; unlike some beings they do not have their own empire or faction.

Cerebron are sometimes captured by other factions, and used as sources of advice and information, but Cerebron cannot be brainwashed, conditioned or intimidated. They will only provide help which they consider to be ethical.
