Cyborgs (Borg)

The C.S. has the ability to create partial and full construction bionic people (referred to as cyborgs or borg for short).  Also they can create cybernetic systems that replace missing or destroyed limbs and organs in a more natural manner.

The difference between bionics and cybernetics is easy to remember.  Bionics are purely mechanical constructions and used to make a person part man and part machine.  Cybernetics on the other hand are meant to simulate natural parts and use synthetic flesh and skin to make the person more like they were before they required the surgery.

Until recently the C.S. has refrained from creating borg for the military.  They preferred to keep their troops natural until the soldier was injured beyond healing.  Borg (even soldiers within the military) are generally not allowed to maintain weapon systems with the cities.  Also when a borg soldier leaves the military their body is decomissioned and all weapons are permanently removed and their strength scaled down (often through replacement of limbs).
