| + | Biodroids exist in societies of Progress Level 6 or higher. They are typically modeled after their anthropomorphic creators. The technology that creates them is so versatile that virtually any living creature (except oozes and plants) can be emulated, at least in terms of movement and behavior. Under certain conditions, a biodroid can be mistaken for what it was made to resemble. However, reasonably close inspection of the biodroid reveals the presence of robotic parts in place of biological parts. | ||

| + | Some biodroids are built to serve their masters, while others are sold to interested buyers looking for loyal servants. As utilities, their usefulness is boundless, and most biodroids are content to perform their assigned duties without question. Biodroids make able security guards, couriers, gardeners, shuttle pilots, expendable soldiers, and even nannies. | ||

| + | Much to the chagrin of their creators, some biodroids are not content to serve. Perhaps due to some flaw in their construction, they choose to pursue a different path and strive to gain experiences that will lend meaning to their existence. Although some agencies have an interest in capturing and demolishing free-willed biodroids, most societies in general have greater concerns to worry about. Consequently, many freethinking biodroids are given a chance to chase their dreams … if one assumes they even have them. | ||
| Biodroids are quite common in the [[Stellar Ring]], and can even be found in [[the Verge]], particularly in areas with a strong [[starmech_collective|StarMech]] presence. They are typically modeled after their creators or owners, such that a human-owned biodroid looks like a human, and a [[t_sa_species|t’sa]] biodroid looks like a t’sa. The technology that creates them is so versatile that virtually any living creature can be emulated (except for plants and oozes), at least in terms of appearance and basic behavior. Under conditions of poor visibility, a biodroid might be mistaken for the creature that it emulates, but a reasonably close examination makes it obvious that the biodroid is a machine. | Biodroids are quite common in the [[Stellar Ring]], and can even be found in [[the Verge]], particularly in areas with a strong [[starmech_collective|StarMech]] presence.

| * **Repairable: ** Biodroids cannot heal damage on their own but can be repaired using the [[Repair (Skill)|Repair]] skill. A successful Repair check (DC 30) repairs 1d10 wound points of damage to a biodroid, and each check represents 1 hour of work. | * **Repairable: ** Biodroids cannot heal damage on their own but can be repaired using the [[Repair (Skill)|Repair]] skill.
