History
NeonSpecter's development journey is a tale of ambition, collaboration, and survival. Initially, her creation was funded by the Bajoran Government, spearheaded by a brilliant Bajoran scientist named Dr. Toren Vek. However, during the post-war turmoil on Bajor, the project faced budget cuts and was eventually terminated. Undeterred, Dr. Vek sought alternative means to continue his work. In a desperate move to keep the project alive, Dr. Vek collaborated with a reclusive hacker known as Cipher Blade. Together, they made significant progress, particularly in developing NeonSpecter's consciousness. However, in 2384, Cipher Blade betrayed Dr. Vek, attempting to steal NeonSpecter's program for his own nefarious purposes. In the ensuing confrontation, Cipher Blade killed Dr. Vek, leaving Neon Specter to fend for herself.
