Artificially created organic being. Technically "a synthetic man, created from biological materials."
- Androids can take any form. However, most androids are built with a humanoid body plan to please the vast consumer markets of Humaniti.
Description (Specifcations)
These artificially created organic beings are created from a combination of cloning and genetic engineering. Their general inability to reproduce results from laws of most high-tech worlds rather than from technology.
- At TL–14, DNA chains can be synthetically tailored to create desired characteristics.
- Susceptibility to premature aging and sickness at that tech level limits their lifespan to 10-15 years.
