Pretty Words
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The OB-44 'Theia' is a high-tech, high-price series of bionic eyes created for the galactic elite.
While initially designed for nobility, executives, and high-ranking military officers, the Theia's slew of advanced features has seen it sparingly given to special forces officers, spies, diplomats, and other important personnel. The Globex Corporation has been particularly vigorous in its use - it has been noted that a ranking Security Division or Diplomatic Corps officer with organic eyes is 'akin to a unicorn in rarity'.
Which is saying something, as the Globex Biotech Division's unicorns are still under development.
- Intent: Replace the ridiculous gelatinous orbs in your skull with something better.
- Image Source: User Interface - Sci-Fi HUD by Anca Albu
- Canon Link: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: Hi-Sense Enhanced Eyes | Appraiser's Eye
- Manufacturer: The Globex Corporation
- Affiliation: The Globex Corporation
- Market Status: Open-Market
- Model: OB-44 'Theia' Bionic Eye
- Modularity: Moderate.
- Some functions may require a Neuromesh link directly to the central nervous system or additional implants; notably, processing large chunks of data is difficult without auxiliary processors (typically mounted in the cranium or around the spine).
- If paired with an N2 Neural Interface, users can see what compatible systems see in real time.
- Production: Minor
- Material: Bionics, Neuromesh.
- Classification: Eye
- Size: Average
- Weight: Average
- Resistances: No, the Theia can't reliably block a blaster bolt. It's a sensitive piece of high technology, numbskull.
- The Theia is a premium eye replacement capable of perceiving the world in heightened resolution, see beyond the visual spectrum (to see in ultraviolet, infrared, and such; useful for target detection, operating in low light conditions, etc.), magnify beyond the scope of most standard macrobinoculars, and more. Information can be overlaid and calculated on the fly, including combat telemetry, heat dispersion patterns, facial recognition, product analysis (including cross-referencing with local and galactic markets), velocity and likely path of targets, et cetera.
- The Theia is even advanced enough to monitor the heartbeat, pupil dilations, and muscle movements of conversation partners in order to assess and predict their emotional state with a high degree of certainty - especially if it has access to a dossier on the target.
- The Theia usually resembles an organic eye fault to a fault, except its appearance - notably eye colour - can change on the fly.
- Some (but not most) Theia models can disguise some or all of their advanced systems - favoured by spies.
- The Theia can be connected to AI assistants - most commonly SICs - to further augment its capabilities.
- The Theia can provide targetting data to compatible firearms and slave-linked security droids.
- The Theia is surprisingly resistant to EMPs; resistant is not immune, however.
- Visual glitches are to be expected even at moderate exposure.
- I Can See Forever: The Theia can perceive its surroundings with incredible, almost unprecedented fidelity. See gamma rays today!
- The Flesh is Weak: The Theia's more advanced features require additional implants to compensate for the weakness of the flesh.
