However, there were many citizens unwilling to toss aside their bodies so casually, many indeed who regarded patterning as an atrocity. Effectively it meant immortality, and the Core decreed the process mandatory for all citizens in order to ensure their safety. The immortality process, known as "patterning," involved the electronic duplication of brain matrices, allowing the transfer of consciousness into durable machines. Ironically, it was the Core's ultimate victory, the victory over death itself, that brought about the downfall of its paradise and started the war that would decimate a million worlds. Paradise was ruled with the hand of science, and the hand was that of the galactic governing body known as the Core.
