Cybernetic implants are quite common among Basic races and for the most part, quite safe. That’s for the most part. When metal implants that regulate your bodily functions malfunction, it is usually in a spectacular and deadly manner.
One hundred years ago, the Lava operating system was the primary operating system of choice for brain enhancement implants. They lost their market share when the infamous Lava version 892.3 update had an unsettling effect on their users. It rewired their neural pathways to be more efficient and logical while also linking other users of the 892.3 update together. This created a new race of similar thinking beings almost over night and one thing they all agreed on was that the laws and society rules they once obeyed were no longer relevant to them.
Lava fixed these problems with the 892.4 update but it was too late. Linked together, the cyborgs went to work creating their own operating systems, one that wasn’t prone to bugs that create new levels of consciousness. Many of the cyborgs formed collectives that worked together to meet common goals. These collectives decided to cut off links to other collectives in order to ensure mission purity.
No one knows for sure how many Cyborg Collectives are currently in operation. The Cyborgs are willing to upgrade volunteer organic creatures who wish to add their collective. Several collectives have grown and splintered as the needs within the collective change. They spread like amoebas through the galaxy seeking like minded individuals.
Some Cyborg Collectives even become pirates. These Cyborgs are usually interested in material wealth and have a well known ruthlessness to their tactics. They have little mercy as they often edit it out of themselves.
