History
The CIOST was founded by VMS-tan in 1998, shortly after her original faction, the DEC Military was conquered by HP. A few years prior to this, the DEC Military was already weakened after losing a lot of territory to Windows NT-tan. Having to work for the company that conquered her while most of her relatives were scattered away was humiliating to her, and she sympathized with the many OS-tans who have lost out to the larger and more powerful factions.
She traveled the world to seek other OS-tans who were affected, so they could combine their skills and resources to defend each others' independence, and to take on the larger and more powerful factions.
