INFORMATION

Site Lore | Medical and Technological Corporation

Aspiretech is a fairly new organization which focuses almost entirely on cybernetics and specialized non-combat droids, which are visually distinctive additions to the brand. The business itself has existed for about ten years, and is operated primarily from Dromund Kaas, though additional facilities operate throughout deep Sith space. An Imperial organization, it's CEO has recently formed a partnership with a Sith known as Sol Kenuk, who not only helps in it's distribution by protecting supply frigates transporting it's product, but also assists in gaining and securing new assets, sometimes through less than peaceful means.

The joint partnership with the company CEO, Lazlo Stagoo (an NPC), insures that Sol takes a hefty cut of the company's profits. Despite the partnership, Sol does not dictate who the company can or can't sell to, allowing them to expand a few offices and laboratories beyond Imperial space. The business still operates primarily within the Empire, and publicly offers discounts to Sith who are in need of limb replacement, or other cybernetic additions. The company offers traditional, albeit high quality, cybernetic limb replacement for hands, arms, legs, feet, and even eyes. However, additional options are available for purchase when needed, including cybernetic jaw replacements.

Droid companions are also offered for people who are unable to maintain the healthy life of living pets. These droids come equipped with a variety of utility features that make them just as useful as they are cute.

Aspiretech employs a variety of highly skilled engineers, doctors, and technicians, and while they do accept interns, they typically only do so on a rare case by case basis, as the qualifications required by the company are particularly strict, especially in regards to technicians and medical staff. While the business is legitimate, it does have some underhanded dealings, although these are a very closely guarded secret, and typically handled by Sol himself.

  • Most of the prosthetics fitted by specialist doctors and technicians hired by the company are fairly traditional. Cybernetic arms, legs, feet, and hands are what one might expect. High quality, durable, water proof, and even sensitive to sensations of touch, heat, cold, and pain. In every way, they are a part of you, just as your missing limb was.

    These are not cheap prosthetics, and the cost of obtaining one is very high. Many of the cybernetics can be customized at additional cost to include an artificial skin which matches the patients skin tone, and even claws, though ultimately, these prosthetics are meant as limb replacements, not as weapons.

    Lower and upper jaws can be replaced with prosthetics, though they lack the maneuverability of a real jaw, and thus can make speaking and eating more of a chore, though whether or not that's worse than having no jaw at all is certainly debatable.

    Cybernetic eyes can also be acquired, though they're typically more expensive and require more frequent maintenance than the more commonplace prosthetics.

    Lekku, head tresses, and horns can also be fitted with cybernetic replacements as well, however they do not possess the sensing capability of their original forms. Luckily, the cybernetics can still be customized to appear indistinguishable from the real thing, despite their lack of utility.

    No weaponry enhancements are offered for prosthetics. Cheaper, more commonplace prosthetics are also sold for those unable to purchase the higher quality products.

    Disclaimer: Health problems may occur in specific scenarios. Not everyone's DNA will accept a prosthetic, and infections can cause severe and even deadly illness. Please insure you are physically healthy before attempting a prosthetic fitting, and additionally, be sure to get your prosthetic routinely examined for anything in need of maintenance.
  • Aspiretech offers a variety of custom engineered and crafted droids that can be utilized as both companions, or therapy pets. These droids are quite expensive, but are offered at a discount to hospital or detention facilities, or any other business willing to purchase them in bulk. Their current available products include:

    The Cyber Hound: An energetic canine friend to keep you company! This little droid likes to go on walks, curl up on the bed with you, play fetch, and even bark at the mailman. A synthetic fur shell is provided at extra cost. Accessories such as collars sold separately.

    The Cyber Cat: The perfect companion for those in need of a bit of comfort. They purr, meow, and cuddle, and they are all too happy to sleep next to their owner's head at night. A synthetic fur shell is provided at extra cost. Accessories such as collars sold separately.
USAGE
Everything here is free for use. Characters may purchase the items for personal use, even those outside of the Empire. Sith characters will receive a discount on all products, and those on the Dark Council or above may even request a free limb replacement in addition to free maintenance when required. Note that other products sold by the company will not be offered for free, regardless of rank. Rarely, raffles and fundraisers will be held by the company to supply the products for free for those in desperate need. Legality is up to local governments, of course. If you wish to add on or otherwise reverse manufacture the items, feel free to reach out for plots, or just go ahead and put up a write-up for approval if you'd rather not interact with Sol.

Anyone is free to DM an employee of the company for personal plots. You may also submit custom droids and technology under the Aspiretech brand, so long as it fits the company's medical aligned theme.
INTENT
I wanted to create a company for my business inclined Sith character who's all too willing to make a quick buck, even if means some shady business. Additionally, other members will now have a medical aligned tech company in which they could utilize as a manufacturer of their own unique technology. The company is also intended to bring a lot of story potential with it's blatant support of both the Empire and the Sith, which could cause controversy or suspicion in other factions. But, on the more cheerful side of things, the company does do a lot of good in making high quality prosthetic products for people with missing limbs, as well as their droid pets, which are the perfect therapy companions for those in need. Players are encouraged to interact with company products as they see fit for their stories.
