Omnics

Omnics in the PS Series are decedents of Fero Robots. They were produced by omniums, automated robotics factories that were built with self-improving software algorithms which eventually became self-aware. Advanced AI programs known as god programs, such as Anubis, can forcibly take control of otherwise independent omnics and bend them to their will. Anubis was used to force  omnics to attack innocent people. defunct omniums went rogue and churned out legions of militarized robots which attacked human cities in an event called the Omnic Crisis. This crisis unlike the Fero Plague did not have as advanced robots so GINA could not disable the robots. This lead GINA to create the Overwatch Hero’s.
