The beating heart of many a technologically advanced world or ecumenopolis, the computer control centre houses massive droid brains capable of controlling almost any networked device, building, power generator, weapons station, transportation system or any of the myriad marvels that make living in these cities so convenient. These droid brains handle millions of operations every minute, from traffic management in the busy skylanes, to automated waste disposal and up through managing entire power grids, stabilising power between generators and even managing planetary defence shields.

Due to their critical nature, computer control centres are amongst the most secure facilities on their worlds, often housed in well armoured and ion resistant complexes. Access to the main building would typically be tightly regulated, with droid and organic security forces constantly alert for any sign of an intruder. Despite the security, these facilities are often targeted by unscrupulous individuals, who will attempt to circumvent the physical and digital security in order to gain access and control of the droid brains within. Should such an attempt be successful there is no doubt a major threat to the planet’s population would occur. Planetary governments frequently employ the brightest computer operators, as well as the most elite security personnel to ensure that such a dire situation never comes to pass.
