Ultron (Star Control)The Ultron is a fictional device featured in the sci-fi Star Control computer game series. The device, while extremely high-tech, is of indeterminate function and is believed by some to have fantastic uses, and by others to be an useless piece of junk. It was first encountered by mankind when the protagonist met the plant-race Supox, who kept the Ultron safe after the Utwig proctor broke it by accident. During the voyages, a few things are learned of the Ultron. Among these is that the Ultron has been owned by the Crimson Corporation of the amoral Druuge before they sold it to the Utwig. The Druuge promised that the Ultron would give the consulter the power to know everything that is knowable, lead you through life, help you with all your decisions... The Utwig fell for the Druuge but demanded a test with the Ultron. After testing the praised device, the Utwig proctor agreed to buy the Ultron, but before the Druuge could name their price, the Utwig proctor said that the Ultron has revealed the price the Druuge desired and handed them a boatful of useless artifacts. Since the Druuge could not confess that the Ultron was a hoax, they had to agree to the trade and to the date of the game are still trying to unload the gained items upon innocent travellers.
