Example: Rianna Saren's cybernetic lekku. In appearance, a cybernetic replacement could be recognizably artificial or virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Common replacements provided no benefits other than duplicating the essential functions of their biological counterparts, and they presented little strain on the beneficiary's overall well-being. Replacements: Replacements were prosthetic or artificial units intended to replace lost limbs and damaged organs. Two major kinds of cybernetic attachments existed in the galaxy: replacements and enhancements. Cybernetic types Ī Bothan with a telescopic eye enhancement. Prosthetic limbs and replacement organs powered by batteries and controlled by electrical impulses were the low end of these procedures with sophisticated cybernetic hardware designed to improve or augment the recipient's body and mind at the high end of the scale.Īrtificial organs could be implanted by droids such as the DD-13 medical assistant droid. When flesh failed-and sometimes even before that-cybernetics took over. Someone could easily go too far in attempting to be "more human than human." As with everything in the galaxy, this came at a potential price, in credits and in the potential loss of self. Others involved modifying the limbs and internal systems of the potential patient. Some were very innocuous, the Shepherd chip issued to military service members for instance. For the majority of galactic citizens, cybernetic replacements were the cheap, effective, legal, and safe solution to unfortunate and severe physical injuries.įor those willing to make the sacrifice of flesh and expense, the body could be "upgraded" to allow for additional skills and abilities. Some limited regeneration of limbs was considered acceptable but there were medical dangers involved with a science that had, for obvious reasons, not seen much development in later decades after the Clone Wars. Cloning was expensive and, given the horrors of the Clone Wars, illegal on most planets after the era. Among them were the ability to replace and, for a price, modify and enhance the body. The galaxy had centuries of advanced technology at its disposal. They're ideal substitutes in every way, except for requiring maintenance." ― Valin Horn ĭarth Vader having prosthetic limbs installed by medical droids.
" Prosthetics offer sensation and do everything flesh can.
