PDP-10-tan was born into the DEC family in 1963, under the name PDP-6. The first true mainframe-tan born in the minicomputer faction, her arrival was treated with fascination by [[PDP-1]], [[PDP-4]] and [[PDP-8]]-tan. They were welcoming of their new comrade, valuing both her friendship and her strategic value as a large-scale system capable of conquering yet-untouched territories and defending them from the encroachment of the IBM faction.

Not too long after PDP-10's introduction in 1964, a native OS was crafted to work with her - [[TOPS-10]]-tan (then called PDP-6 Monitor). TOPS-10-tan was the first documented OS-tan in the DEC faction, and would later become the leader of their defense force.

Like the other DEC hardware-tans, PDP-10-tan spent a fair amount of time traveling and working at organizations outside of her home region. She became renown for her work in physics, artificial intelligence, and pioneering the then-new concept of timesharing. Her intelligence and unique way of thinking gained her a place among that strange, burgeoning cabal of academia, The Hackers; during the 1960s and 70s (or Elder Days, as they would later be called), she witnessed the creation of some of the great figures of their society, notably [[ITS]], [[WAITS]], [[TOPS-20 | Tenex]] and the editor [[Emacs]].  She helped guide and assist this new generation of OSes and softwares - and programmers - becoming nearly universally-beloved by her followers.
