DESCRIPTION
The TruSpark droid brain was designed by CORE Automata with the primary goal of providing a near-sentient option for droid units. The results have proven incredibly life-like, mostly due to the pairing of Sensory Management Circuitry with a Personality Matrix. Together, these modules allow the brain to accept, acknowledge and interpret sensory stimuli and even replicate emotional responses. Of course, this comes with some expected drawbacks; droid units equipped with these brains may consider themselves to be alive, resulting in increased independence and a desire for self-preservation.
Beyond the qualities that put it on par with a biological counterpart, the TruSpark droid brain far surpasses organic capabilities in several key aspects. The work that has gone into designing the TruSpark's capacity for active memory storage and analytical processing far exceeds not just most biological thresholds, but also the standards of other droids. The outer layer of the brain component also features the capacity for limited self-repair, increasing survivability and lowering the risk of a total system failure if damage is sustained.
- Intent: to create an advanced droid brain to serve as a template for future models manufactured by CORE Automata.

STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES
+ Machine Learning – the inclusion of a Heuristic Central Processor enables the brain to learn through action rather than relying solely on pre-installed protocols. It also affords a droid the ability to creatively interpret instructions, rationalize and make complicated decisions without orders.
+ Dedicated Analyzer Circuitry – adding dedicated, Ultrachrome-infused analyzer circuitry to the brain’s Analytical Core and Probability Module allows for lightning fast decision making and, under the right conditions, pseudo-prescient levels of multi-outcome prediction.
+ Advanced Active Memory – the Primary Performance Banks of the Memory Core, which serve as the unit’s active memory and is where most real-time processing takes place, has been enriched by the unprecedented processing power and storage space offered by Gabonna crystals. This allows for unrivaled data multiplexing and extremely efficient short-term data storage.
+ Minor Self-Repair – the outer casing of the brain is created using Laminanium, allowing for limited self-repair. This does not translate to the internal components of the brain.
+/- Stimuli-Response - the inclusion of Sensory Management Circuitry provides more internal awareness for the unit, allowing detailed passive monitoring and self-diagnosis of subsystem/internal mechanism issues. Because of this increased physical alertness, it is possible for a droid to find themselves distracted when encountering significant errors or receiving notable damage, comparable to how an organic may fumble from an injury.
- Increased Independence – a heightened degree of independence is an unavoidable by-product of the complex nature of this advanced droid brain. Units equipped with a TruSpark droid brain are unlikely to comply with tasks that might jeopardize their continued existence, or tasks they deem to be illogical.
- Zap - like most electronics, this component is susceptible to the effects of electromagnetic pulses and ion energy if it is not paired with additional countermeasures.
