The few bioreplicas in the Verge have only recently arrived, usually on special missions for the stellar nations and corporations that own them. They are typically modeled after their creators or owners, and are virtually indistinguishable from their emulated species. A bioreplica’s components are constructed of lightweight plastics in a synthetic sheath that looks and feels like real skin and flesh. Bioreplica’s are so lifelike that their construction and distribution is strictly regulated. They are usually built for military or espionage purposes. | + | Bioreplicas are uncommon in the [[Stellar Ring]], and virtually unknown in [[The Verge|the Verge]].

| + | These anthropomorphic robots, modeled after their creators in most instances, are so convincingly lifelike that they are virtually indistinguishable from their biological counterparts. A bioreplica’s components are made up of lightweight plastics in a synthetic sheath that looks and feels like real flesh and skin. Bioreplicas are so lifelike that their fabrication and distribution are strictly regulated. Most bioreplicas are built for military or espionage needs, and they are frequently put to use as disposable soldiers, scouts, and spies. A few synthetics find roles in law enforcement or military-funded scientific expeditions. | ||

| + | Although freethinking synthetics are hunted down in some stellar nations that feel threatened by robots with autonomy, other “enlightened” nations prefer to treat bioreplicas with the same rights afforded to any sentient biological species. Regardless of how everyone else perceives them, bioreplicas are generally more interested in finding answers to the big questions plaguing their synthetic existence, such as what it means to be sentient. | ||
| A bioreplica’s artificial intelligence is so sophisticated and finely tuned that it can stimulate subtle facial expressions and complex emotions. It learns and adapts so quickly that many organics find it easy to mistake the artificial intelligence for biological intuition. | A bioreplica’s artificial intelligence is so sophisticated and finely tuned that it can stimulate subtle facial expressions and complex emotions.
