Overview
Overlord is an authoritarian AI controlling nearly 90% of a neighboring galaxy (not the Milky Way or Snickers — a third, distinct galaxy). As of 2020, MACOFS's military, political, and intelligence attention is increasingly focused on the Overlord rather than the more immediately pressing Empire of Man threat — creating real dramatic irony, since Perold Jonas, MACOFS's Executive Director of Defense and strategic mastermind of World War 3, appears oblivious to the Empire of Man's simmering resentment and rapidly expanding military strength while focused elsewhere on the Overlord.
Worldbuilding Significance
This introduces a third major external threat to Maf/MACOFS, distinct from both the Empire of Man (Milky Way warlord coalition) and any Kas-Do-related AI concerns (an internal, Peacekeeper-adjacent issue) — suggesting Maf/MACOFS's strategic attention is genuinely divided across multiple simultaneous threats as of 2020.
