Cyberminds

Cyberminds is the term used to describe entities created via artificial intelligence, such as drones, androids, and warminds. Certain cyborgs, who have had their minds significantly altered by cybernetic implantations, can also be classified as cyberminds. Throughout the galaxy, cyberminds are employed by their organic creators to fulfill a variety of purposes, such as manual labor, personal defense, or mechanical maintenance.

Asomatic Cyberminds
Asomatic cyberminds are not designed to require a physical body. They serve such purposes as being integrated into a soldier's HUD, montioring the systems of a starcraft, or supervising factory machinery.

Somatic Cyberminds
Somatic cyberminds are created with the purpose of operating within a physical machine body. As such, they are designed with physical tasks in mind, such as transporting cargo, serving as hovering security bots, or as personal bodyguards.
 * Androids: Androids, commonly known simply as droids, are a more advanced form of somatic cybermind designed to interact regularly with organics, gifted with processing abilities surpassing those of drones, and usually designed with humanoid proportions. This enables them to be far more adaptable and intelligent than their drone counterparts, allowing them to learn and even develop personalities. However, this advanced intellect does lead to the possibility of androids rebelling against their organic creators, resulting in them being programmed with strict restrictions, with most droid owners utilizing periodic memory wipes to negate the risk of being turned on.
 * Synthetic Humanoids: Often known simply as synthetics or synths, synthetic humanoids are androids which have organic tissues integrated into their design, in order to more easily facilitate organic interaction. However, many individuals across the galaxy find synths to be rather disconcerting, especially if their cybermind status is not immediately evident. It is more this reason that most synth models are equipped with some sort of function to identify themselves, such physical markings or programming which requires them to introduce themselves as synths upon meeting a new organic.
 * Drones: Drones are somatic cyberminds equipped with extremely limited intellectual and learning abilities, typically each designed for a single, relatively uncomplicated task. Drones come in every conceivable shape and size, from humanoid to floating spheres the size of a head, or gargantuan treaded monstrosities equipped with grasping arms and churning grinders made to crush garbage.
