An Advanced Cybernetic Hand is battery powered replacement manipulator constructed from strong lightweight materials. It must be attached to an Advanced Cybernetic Arm to provide the connections and additional strength to allow operation. It is designed to have superior dexterity and capabilities compared to an organic hand. While it may have a biological appearance, with synthetic skin, silent operation and normal body temperatures, some individuals prefer a colorful or bizarre finish or leave the internal mechanics of the arm exposed.
The Advanced Cybernetic Hand directly connects to the individual's nervous system, allowing it to be controlled as though it were a natural manipulator, and provides heightened sensory feedback such as touch, pressure, texture and temperature. Modifications and devices fitted to the hand may be consciously controlled and directed.
The Advanced Hand may be fitted with a configuration modification. Typical upgrades include:
- Built-In Hand Computer: input may be entered vocally or manually, output is displayed on a small inbuilt screen fitted with a protective cover.
- Built-In Transceiver: a compact Radio Communicator that does not rely on the presence of an established communications network.
- Built-In Sensor Package: includes an Electromagnetic Sensor, a Geiger Counter, a Motion Sensor, and a Temperature Sensor that provides feedback via a small screen.
- Hand Razors (Weaponization): 10mm retractible blades located in the tips of the digits.
- Armor: the hand may be fitted with armor, either as an integral feature or as external plates.
