Whirlwind-tan, MTC and TX-0-tan are the ancestors of the PDP-1 line and strongly influenced the rest of the PDP family (as well as the minicomputer class at large), while SAGE-tan played a more tangental role in the origins of DEC. It should be noted that SAGE inadvertently contributed much to the success of the IBM Faction, one of the DEC Faction's major competitors. | ||
The DEC-tans hold their ancestors in high esteem, but the reverence falls short of the sort of near-religious zeal that some factions hold for their ancestors (for instance, the IBM-tans toward [[GMOS]]-heika). Whirlwind and TX-0-tan are likely the best-remembered and most-revered, while MTC-tan has been somewhat forgotten by later generations. SAGE is also respected, although perhaps less so due to her generally distant nature and connections to IBM. The quartet - with its scientist, soldier, artist and nurse - is considered by many within the faction to be representative of the exemplary roles for a DEC-tan, and because of this work within the fields of science, medicine and various arts (which includes fine arts, design and "craftsmanship") are considered especially honorable. Guardianship and self-defense is also considered important, as exampled by their later shift to a military-style structure. | The DEC-tans hold their ancestors in high esteem, but the reverence falls short of the sort of near-religious zeal that some factions hold for their ancestors (for instance, the IBM-tans toward [[GMOS]]-heika).
