Synthetic limbs

Synthetic limbs, officially classified by Vey’Zari medics as Kinetic Integration Modules (KIMs), are biomechanical replacements for lost or voluntarily removed arms and legs, engineered for precision, durability, and modular augmentation. Standard among syndicate enforcers, frontline operatives, and cybernetic labor units, KIMs are built from high-density carbon-silica alloys reinforced with internal impact dampeners and servomuscle bundles. These limbs are not intended to mimic organic function—they are meant to exceed it. Each KIM is fitted with adjustable joint ranges, torque regulators, and modular connection ports for external tools, weapons, or environmental interfaces. Installation requires neural-anchored grafting into the spinal motor lattice, allowing for reflex-level control once synaptic calibration is complete.   Unlike aesthetic prosthetics, Vey’Zari KIMs are tactical extensions of the user’s role. Most models feature armored plating, compartmentalized tool ports, and internal weapon hardpoints. Finger articulation is programmable down to micro-movement precision, and foot modules can be swapped for climbing spikes, shock-absorbing pads, or reinforced drop-plates. The limbs are self-powered via embedded microcells and thermal regulators, drawing additional charge through dermal capacitance when paired with internal batteries or spinal cores. Full limb replacement is common among operatives who have undergone critical trauma or tactical amputation—often a voluntary decision in high-risk professions. While some models simulate skin texture with synth-flesh overlays, most wearers opt to leave the metal exposed as a deterrent. KIM recipients are seen not as disabled, but upgraded—redefined through function, fear, and permanence. In the underlayers of Thauzuno, losing a limb isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of purpose-built reconstruction.
