Android (Technology) Synopsis

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.

Android (Technology) Description

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.
