| - | Thanks to the [[Timeline|Cyko Riots of 2314-15]], most sentient beings in the [[Stellar Ring]] view anything more than cosmetic implants with distaste. [[NIJack system (Cyberware)|NIJack]] systems and [[Vehicle Control Jack|vehicle links]], [[Replacements|basic replacements]] and medically necessary implants are acceptable. Anything more—especially anything with military applications—inspires apprehension and distrust. | + | Thanks to the [[Timeline|Cyko Riots of 2314-15]], most sentient beings in the [[Stellar Ring]] view anything more than cosmetic implants with distaste.

| **Progress Level 5:** Cybernetics is still in its formative stage. Most prosthetic units are of the non powered variety, but medical associations have approved certain electronic regulators for life-threatening conditions. The artificial heart is the most recognized example. Other common examples include pacemakers, artificial kidneys, and pancreas monitors (for high-risk diabetics). Nearly all PL 5 cybernetic attachments are simply designed to keep their recipients alive and reasonably healthy. | **Progress Level 5:** Cybernetics is still in its formative stage.

| - | Elective cybernetics begins at this stage with the work of university professor [[Kevin Warwick]], who develops methods of linking computer microchips to the human nervous system. His "[[cyborg chip]]" becomes the foundation for all future cybernetic components. | + | Elective cybernetics begins at this stage with the work of university professor [[people|Kevin Warwick]], who develops methods of linking computer microchips to the human nervous system.

| **Progress Level 6:** This era sees the first use of independently powered cybernetics, including [[Replacements|servolimbs]] and subcutaneous cellular telephones. These begin mostly in military applications but soon become available to the public. Household pets allover the world are implanted with subcutaneous [[identity chips]]-as are important government figures and their families-after the technology proves safe and effective on prison inmates. | **Progress Level 6:** This era sees the first use of independently powered cybernetics, including [[Replacements|servolimbs]] and subcutaneous cellular telephones.
