DESCRIPTION
The work of Dr. Cornelis Evazan was known - and feared - across the galaxy. The first decraniated served Dryden Vos aboard the First Light. These macabre servants were effectively living droids. Why Vos kept the decraniated around is up to interpretation. It is possible that these living droids had been enemies of Vos or his clients, and the novelty of seeing one's enemy lobotomized and serving drinks must have been a trill for much of the criminal underworld. Perhaps Vos' clientele wanted things a normal droid could not provide. It is unknown how many Evazan made, but his creations were so widely-feared that they would be imitated by butcher-surgeons well after his death. The hardware itself often outlasted their "users." A unit could be removed from one, cleaned, and implanted in another prepared user. As the years passed, crime lords often sought to emulate the feared Dryden Vos and would commission new decraniated, some using technology from decades past. Others would seek to update the design. At this point in time, these units are antiques and have largely fallen out of service.

The EV⁷ Lobotoware is the current generation of hardware powering the decraniated. It is still fundamentally the same technology. EV⁷ Lobotoware relies on the removal of the cerebrum and the vast majority of the cranial cavity. The cerebellum and brain stem are then augmented with this piece of hardware, which serves as a new center of direction for the body. The decraniated is still alive, with needs that must be kept. Care is kept to ensure certain reflexes remain intact, such as swallowing, so that the decraniated does not choke on their own saliva. Decraniated are fitted with a feeding tube, as the digestive system tends to atrophy after a certain period of time, and they must be fed. Some surgeons may remove much of the digestive tract during the creation of the decraniated. Sleep is also required, though typically around 4 hours or less. Owners of decraniated will oftentimes have them sleep in 1-hour increments.

EV⁷ Lobotoware provides the owner with a fully-customizable suite of commands, which can range from mundane to highly-complex. The memory of a decraniated is near-photographic, which makes them powerful tools of espionage. However, this memory is typically wiped routinely, as the decraniated can run into the same kind of quirks and glitches that a droid can. Separate memory banks can be installed, allowing a decraniated to retain "muscle memory" while forgetting the details of their day-to-day. Speech modulators are installed in some units, though they are entirely mechanical as the speech centers of the brain are among those removed. EV⁷ Lobotoware also provides the decraniated with the ability to navigate using a number of senses, from visible/uv light to thermal imaging and sonar.

On the back of the unit is a command console which interfaces directly with the new "brain." From here, a user can check the status of the decraniated and troubleshoot if needed. However, decraniated typically respond to commands through a separate terminal. Should the decraniated require some need which might disrupt a routine task, the owner will be notified via the datapad ahead of time. From there, the owner can either approve of the need or instruct it to wait on it indefinitely. Many owners set specific times where the decraniated meets basic needs, meaning this should never be an issue.

LEGALITY
Illegal in Republic Space

INTENT
I want to bring one of the most macabre parts of new canon to this timeline and utilize something which I think has great application in both criminal and Sith worlds.

RESTRICTIONS
Not for use by "good" factions, otherwise no need to restrict.

I'm moving this to the Technology board. For future reference, however, all unique technologies must be approved, even if they come from canon sources. There are some things we want first refusal on.
