-Silicone lifeform.
-== Physiology & Ecology ==
-A naturally occurring silicon-based form of life was discovered on [[Cymbeline (world)|Cymbeline]] in the [[Solomani Rim Sector|Solomani Rim]]. This lifeform was a very different form of life than biological and did not conform to the conventional (...and biological) scientific definition of life.
-These microchips possessed not much more than animal intelligence in the wild.
-== Life Cycle & Reproduction ==
-Their only need for raw material was for reproduction - chips to implant their own programming into. This lifeform was a sort of ergivore/phototroph, not previously known to science.
-== Diet & Trophics ==
-Although these silicon-based lifeform "[[Chip]]s" needed raw materials to survive as a species, they did not need it for their individual survival. Their power was electrical and was obtained and converted from the environment: from sunlight or geothermal heat.
-== History & Background (Dossier) ==
-During the [[Seventh Interstellar War]], a damaged [[Terran Confederation]] military vessel crashed on Cymbeline. Naturally occuring Chips eventually encountered components from its computer systems in the wreckage; merging with them, their computational complexity increased by an order of magnitude, bootstrapping them to full sentience. The descendants of these Chips were discovered by an independent expedition in 1110.<ref>[[Signal GK (book)]]</ref>
-Unfortunately, the intelligent chips were wiped out by the effects of a [[Black War]] nuclear strike by [[Lucan]]'s forces during the Rebellion on 063-1127.<ref>[[Survival Margin]]</ref>
-== [[Travellers' Aid Society]] Advisory ==
-The [[Travellers' Aid Society]] (TAS) classifies '''Chips''' as not dangerous to most [[sophont]]s and does not advise great caution when in the presence of this organism.
