A Synthetic Liver is a cyberware device.
- It is a replacement for an organic internal organ.
- The exact size and dimensions of the liver are tailored to match the physical characteristics of the recipient.
Description (Specifications)
A battery-powered synthetic liver has a wide range of functions, including detoxification, protein synthesis and production of biochemicals necessary for digestion. It is also immune to degradation due to excess alcohol consumption.
- The liver's internal battery is extremely compact and has a very long life, typically measured in multiple decades.
History & Background (Dossier)
The various parts of the liver, including elements such as the casing, microelectronics, and arterial connections are made with biocompatible materials. These may include metal alloys, carbon nanotubes, silicon gels, and layered polymers.
Similar devices have been in use since the days of the First Imperium. They reached their modern form through Terran medical advances achieved during the Interstellar Wars period.
Upgrades
