==Technical details==
Created by DEC's Unix Engineering Group, Ultrix was the first native BSD release for the VAX line of computers.

==Character details==
====General====
Ultrix-tan is depicted as a young woman with wavy, shoulder-length brown hair, green eyes and small horns. She wears a typical DEC Military uniform while on duty, but has also been depicted in a slinky, plain black dress. Her weapon is typically depicted as a bladed trident.

Personality-wise, Ultrix-tan displays her mother's tendency toward athletic skill and tendency toward hedonism and grandmother's quick-temper and hard work ethic. She truly wanted to be seen as a part of the DEC Faction (not as a Unix "outsider") and be treated as an equal, however her standoffish nature made the other DEC-tans slow to accept her.

====Family and Relationships====
Ultrix-tan is the daughter of [[BSD]] and granddaughter of [[UNIX | Bell Labs Unix]]-tan.

In spite of the long-standing and often symbiotic relationship between the Unix-tans and certain members of the [[DEC Military | DEC Faction]] - in particular, the alliance [[PDP-11]], [[VAX]]-tan and the various Unices, and [[UNIX]]-sama's short inclusion within the [[DEC Military | DEC Faction]] - many within the DEC Faction opposed the creation of Ultrix-tan (particularly [[VMS]]-tan, who was afraid that Ultrix would displace her as the dominant native DEC OS-tan).

Although Ultrix and VMS-tan were rivals, they managed to maintain a functioning - if not vitriol-soaked - friendship, marked with good-natured verbal barbs and occasional physical fights. They seem to have bonded under a mutual position as 'social outcasts' within the DEC Faction.

==History and background==
====Early Life====
Ultrix-tan was created by the Unix Engineering Group, a division of the DEC Faction located to north of DEC Headquarters. It has been theorized that her creation was spurred on by Unix-tan's short alliance with the DEC Military.

	==Technical details==		==Technical details==
	~~Ultrix was~~ DEC's first ~~offering of a (~~BSD~~) Unix OS, designed to run on PDP and VAX architectures. Developers had long used DEC hardware~~ for ~~designing and running Unix operating systems, yet DEC supported only their proprietary OSs, especially VMS. While somewhat successful, Ultrix ultimately failed to displace competing~~ VAX ~~systems~~.		Created by DEC's Unix Engineering Group, Ultrix was the first native BSD release for the VAX line of computers.

	Ultrix-tan is depicted as a young woman, with wavy brown hair ~~and~~ green eyes. She ~~sometimes dressed~~ in a slinky black dress~~; but often wears~~ a ~~military~~-~~like uniform~~ as ~~with~~ the ~~other~~ DEC~~-tans, yet is a noted outsider in their group~~ (as ~~supporters of the home-made DEC operating systems and~~ Unix ~~supporters have often been at odds~~)~~. This rivalry also carried over to her attitude; She is quite sly~~ and ~~cool, with a notable feisty side; When angered~~, however~~, she has a tendency to become quite vengeful (a reference to Ultrix translating to avenger in Latin). Her weapon of choice is a trident, with three blades where~~ the ~~spears would usually be; a reference~~ to ~~Ultrix's BSD heritage~~.		====General====
