Special Abilities:
- Low-Light Vision: A Synthetic can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
- Two-Weapon Fighting: Due to their artificial brains and robotic bodies, Synthetics do not favor one hand like organic beings. Synthetics receive no penalties for fighting with two weapons.
- No lungs or stomach: Synthetics have no sense of smell or taste, they do not eat or drink, do not breathe, and cannot ingest drugs.
- No Mind: Synthetics cannot be affected by any abilities that affect the mind. Although they are capable of independent thought, the psychological attacks of Aliens do not affect them. Synthetics are immune to fear and morale effects. This also prevents them from being Force Sensitive and cannot gain force points.
- Construct: As constructs, Synthetics are immune to poison, stunning, disease, subdual damage, and damage or drain to physical ability scores. They are subject to the effects of ionization weapons.
- Walking Database: +1D racial bonus to all Knowledge, and First Aid skill checks: Synthetics are programmed as walking databases and work with other computers to get answers on anything and everything.
- Personal Communicator: The Synthetic can digitally communicate securely and encrypted with any other Synthetic. A backup laser communication system is installed for secure line of sight communication between units and an alternate physical cable plug exists to link two units via high-speed data cable.
Description: Synthetics, also known as androids or — as some synthetics themselves prefer to be called — "artificial persons", are biomechanical humanoids. They are essentially robots that closely emulate Humans in both appearance and actions. Synthetics once constituted a huge industry and were in widespread use throughout the galaxy, but a violent rebellion ultimately led to them being declared illegal, with virtually all extant units being destroyed in a mass recall.
