The Nene are a family of hive-like, fully artificial sophonts. They're in the centre of an extensive debate over what defines "sophonce," as none of them possesses a fully organic body, and they all exist entirely within the boundaries of their networks. Their name is derived from their creators, the extinct Nene species native to planet Arai of star Melinoë.
History
