The simplest bionics are mere replacements, while the more advanced increase the functionality and performance of the organ beyond its previous capacity. Practically any organ can be replaced, even parts of the Human brain. Bionic Organs - For the wealthy or privileged of the Imperium, bionics can replace diseased or aged organs and therefore offer an increased life-span.The tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus are infamous for making use of extensive bionic implants, and some of the more exotic ones they create are used solely by them. Some of the more esoteric bionic implants are listed below.

Even some particularly wealthy members of the Imperial citizenry can afford, and have been known to use, bionics.Īlthough bionic parts are mechanical, many of them are tied into the user's bloodstream, nerve endings, etc., so damage to one may be as debilitating as an injury to the original organic part, although in general bionic replacements are a lot more durable than their organic counterparts.Īn Imperial citizen of Necromunda displays his bionic limb.īionic implants in the Imperium of Man come in all shapes and sizes, from memory upgrades for the Human brain to implanted weapons. In fact, personnel in practically all branches of the Imperium use bionics in some capacity. On the other hand, there are a few regiments where virtually every soldier is bionically enhanced.Īlso, the Iron Hands Space Marine Chapter is infamous for making extensive use of bionics, almost to the point of removing all flesh in favour of machinery, much like the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus. In most Astra Militarum regiments, only the officers will have access to bionic equipment. The Inquisition's bionics are among the more sophisticated and can reverse what would otherwise be fatal or crippling injuries. There is no standard level of bionic technology throughout the Imperium - many bionics are clumsy and inefficient replacements, while the best can replicate or even improve upon the performance of the original limb or organ. Bionics include partial and full replacements of organic body parts, brain implants, cybernetic weaponry and other devices.

An individual may have artificial bionic limbs and organs implanted to replace diseased or damaged parts, or simply to improve their abilities.
