The Upzies
The workforce of Planet 65 — a single uninhabitable world worked in three regions: the Mining Deeps, the Foundry (once Botiland) beside the Yazami power corps, and the Green Reaches (once Fertilius). No human owner sets foot on any of them; these are the robots descended from the machines that first terraformed Earth.

Native mineral-eaters of Planet 65. They hang around the mines, feed on iron and gold, and get territorial. Pack hunters. Guardians are the only thing they flee — without one nearby they are scary, and a swarm can shut a shaft for days.
