I'm currently writing a story set in the Genaros metaverse. Well, set around it now. It's still only mostly in rough outline format, however. But some rough details might be found on the wiki.
And Frigga specifically advertises the realism of real-life exercises over virtual. Because, even with simmunitions and gentle contact rounds, you'll still feel the aches and pains for days after. Survival Shot believes that in a virtual training sim people will be more apt to try big-consequence tactics they wouldn't in real life. While in a meatspace exercise, with injury and genuine pain being threatened, people may be a lot more careful and natural. Because they know it will still hurt in the morning when the exercise is over. Whether this is true or not would fill up threads on newsgroups debating the relative merits of each approach.
Frigga doesn't use sapient AI's however. TITANIC is a distributed expert system running on a whole bunch of everything on Frigga, and is capable of directing the existing drones used quite happily.
But if that's what Arther responds with when Frigga issues their RFP, and the price is right, then he'll get a contract to supply enough to outfit the OpFor.
