Prodigy Speculation: The Drednoks/A Living Construct have been manipulating the people of Solum the whole time.
It would be really cool if the ultimate Prodigy villain wound up not being the Diviner or Vindicator or their allies, but the drednoks / maybe the living construct.
In Drednok's case they clearly predate the effort to find the Protostar. Whether they predate the civil war or were created because of it is an open question. But at every turn they're pushing the Diviner and Vindicator towards the most extreme options. And they look all non threatening and advisorial in scenes with Diviner and Vindicator, but we've seen via the kids that Drednok is capable of, and seems to default to brutal violence. Guess this AI didn't come with ethical subroutines.
So on one level, maybe the Drednoks instigated the plan to destroy the Federation. It seems in line with how they think. Perhaps they instigated the civil war too, seeing the Federation as a threat to their quiet control of Solum.
Alternatively: maybe the Drednoks, like Holojaneway, were also being manipulated or controlled by a living construct. (possibly the same one). Perhaps theres a construct out there that was not a weapon at first, but a governing AI and helped dictate the course of Solum's society, and rather than risk being turned off by the Federation, it and its drednoks manipulated the Vahnukat into a war. Maybe when it determined that the consequences were too devestating, devised the plan for a reset. (Interesting that a wormhole brought Protostar right to Solum's doorstep and our main Vanhukat characters saw that as an act of providence. Coincidence for a kids show or something set in motion by an evil super computer? hmmm)
