Nemo

Nemo, "Nought; Nobody", is the 'codename' given to the pilot AI, a highly intelligent computer programme developed by Simon, capable of flying aircraft and completing missions it is tasked with. It also has its own free will and personality, reaching as far as switching sides and joining the enemy if desired.

Since Nemo is in essence a programme, it is capable of completing sorties with extreme efficiency possibly unmatched by human pilots. The thought and reaction intervals normally present in humans are eliminated, and it can withstand as much G-forces as the airframe could theoretically handle. It could also load itself through an available connection into the Electrosphere or enemy aircraft.

Nemo itself is only, however, part of the big picture. A few years prior to the 2045 Corporate War, Simon also created a mission simulator to examine all possible outcomes of a potential future Corporate War, and whether the creation of exceptionally intelligent AI pilots like Nemo would help stop the war from breaking loose. The whole programme, with the Nemo coding and the Simulator is collectively called the Nemo Project.

Simon, at the end of the program, determines that while Nemo appears to greatly influence the lives of its copilots, and despite its extreme usefulness as an instrument of war, the impact of its independent decisions on the outcome of the 2045 Corporate War is extremely minute, almost non existent. Since the project has served its purpose, Simon purges all of the programme's files, fearing it might fall in the wrong hands.
