One of their most important developments was their [[android]] creations. These androids could be made in a variety of appearances, most commonly a [[human]]-like form. They also had a varying amount of computer chips, with the more intelligent androids having more chips then less intelligent ones. These androids were much tougher and stronger than organic life, though they were lighter and could be stopped when the computer chips were removed. The Urbankans also made use of [[monopticon]]s, floating [[robot]]s that could be used for surveillance.

The Urbankans were slowly being converted into [[android]]s over 40,000 years and during this time, [[Monarch (Four to Doomsday)|Monarch]] made four trips to [[Earth]]. Though the response was always hostile, the Urbankans were able to capture a few [[human]]s. These humans were also converted into [[android]]s and were allowed to stay. As well, the speed of the trip was increased each time as more and more improvements were made. Monarch planned to finally discover the secret to [[faster-than-light travel]], whereby he would go back in time to meet God, which he believed would be himself. | The Urbankans were slowly being converted into [[android]]s over 40,000 years and during this time, [[Monarch (Four to Doomsday)|Monarch]] made four trips to [[Earth]].

Back on [[Urbanka]], the [[planet]] was continuously mined for more raw materials for the androids. Eventually, by the [[8th century|700s]], the planet was uninhabitable, meaning all three billion Urbankans had to move. They decided to go back to Earth and strip mine it as well. Despite this, Monarch was stopped and the human androids decided to go their own way.
