 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Nemesis is a Diabolic, a genetically-engineered humanlike biological construct dedicated to protecting Sidonia, a galactic senator's daughter. She will do anything to protect Sidonia—kill for her, die for her, and she would do so gladly. Sidonia, on the other hand, just wants Nemesis to be her friend.When the Emperor realizes that Sidonia's father is plotting rebellion, he calls her to the Imperial court to serve as a hostage. Nemesis and Sidonia's mother realize that there is only one way for Nemesis to protect Sidonia: She must take her place. She must become Sidonia, travel to court, and live a life she was never designed for. To make matters worse, Diabolics were recently outlawed. The very existence of Nemesis is treason, and impersonating Sidonia is worse.As rebellions rise and the nest of vipers that is the Imperial court tightens, Nemesis has to find out whether she is truly human or just a weapon after all.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The Diabolic is the first in a trilogy by S. J. Kincaid. The second novel is The Empress, and the third is The Nemesis.

 Anti-Intellectualism: After a massive supernova wiped out the five planets that were the primary archive of human knowledge, the prominent religion declared this a divine sign that all scientific knowledge was blasphemous. They went around destroying all other archives, banned all scientific education and research, and even banned creating more technology. Not just new technology, they banned creating more ships of the existing designs. Now, everything is maintained by robots maintaining robots, and the fact that all technology is slowly breaking down as it gets too old is a fact that is explicitly ignored, and bringing it up is considered blasphemy.
