Tech Level E

Tech level E is the technology level of advanced cybernetics and medical breakthroughs.
Cybernetics have reach the stage that autonomous robots are now ubiquitous. Such robots do not have actual intelligence, just sophisticated programming. They neither have feelings nor morals, but merely programming, but the programming is very advanced, allowing expert systems to perform very complex tasks with little human interaction.
These advancements include advanced medical systems that are capable of repairing bodily damage in cases that would previously have been impossible. Biocybernetics, that is organic robots can intervene in cell functions, repairing genetic damage and combating diseases in a completely new way. The ethical aspects of using this technology have resulted in very strict guideline for its use, in the Highlands and most of the Midlands at least. Its mis-use in the Wilds have resulted in some very horrific situations.
Minifacs & macrofac, computer controlled robot manufacturing factories become available at this tech level.
Medical suspension allows biological processes to be slowed down to millions of times their normal speed, this allows for the placing of people and animals into what is effectively suspended animation. These techniques are used for medical purposes, to allow treatment deferral, for cases when immediate medical attention is either not available or unable to cope with the injury or disease. It can also be used as a survival method of last resort. On animals it is often used to transport specimens more easily.
Advanced power cells have double the capacity of first generation power cells developed at TL F.
