SPECIAL FEATURES

• Stem cell production.
• Blood circulation optimization adjusts blood flow during extreme conditions.
• Injury shock reduction reduces the body's shock response to minor injuries.

STRENGTHS

• Enhanced recovery from injuries due to stem cell production, which reduces the length of time an injury will impair the user. The enhancement is greatest for minor injuries, but the improvement for major injuries is still noticeable.
• Environmental adaptability from blood circulation optimization makes it easier to handle extreme conditions, without heavy breathing.
• Shock management helps the user stay calm and responsive, reducing the impact of minor trauma.
• Extended lifespan increases the user's life expectancy by approximately 20%, allowing a human who would otherwise live to 100 to potentially reach an age of 120. This is achieved through improved blood flow, stem cell production, and cellular maintenance, which help slow physical ageing.

WEAKNESSES

• Limited healing capacity, as severe wounds still require medical treatment.
• Susceptibility to EMP, which could temporarily disable the implant's functions or require it to be replaced.
• Slower natural recovery as over time, the body may rely on the implant, making natural healing slower without it.
• Restricted life extension as the effect does not apply to species with natural lifespans over 150 years, those with rapid regenerative abilities (regrowing limbs or near instant wound closure), or shapeshifters, as their biology is incompatible with the implant's adjustments.
• Cold sensitivity as the implant's optimization of blood flow makes the user slightly more sensitive to extreme cold leading to discomfort or minor stiffness.
• Overheating risk, as prolonged high-stress situations can cause the implant to overheat slightly, leading to mild discomfort or irritation at the implant site.

DESCRIPTION
Following Edward Ashcard's guidance, Tygeria Dragon Armaments developed the Dragon SP1, a specialized spinal implant tailored for use by Blackwatch operatives and select elite Eternal Empire personnel. Built for resilience in the field, the Dragon SP1 combines stem cell production with advanced blood circulation control and shock reduction.

The SP1 is installed during surgery and can't be implanted via injection.

Due to Tygeria Dragon Armaments' lack of cybernetics expertise, the production, and implementation has been contracted out to a range of minor cybernetics firms within the Eternal Empire. While quality has been assured, the SP1 is not a marketable product due to its high manufacturing cost and is instead used as a select gift from Tygeria Dragon Armaments.
