Cybers

Cybernetic augmentation is a reletive unknown in the galaxy at large. Those few who go through with the procedures often are never as effective as they used to be, and they are usually very samll scale changes. Debatably the most successful large scale cybernetic augmentation is the intricate work performed on the infamous Tal 'Zerex.

His shoulder hurt, the right more than the left. He knew what it was, over time some of the metal reinforcments on his bones had started to grate painfully against joints. At least it wasn't old age. Most days it was bareable but a long day of lifting building materials from the Chancer's cargo bay was more than enough to put a strain on even his augmenteted musculare. 
Rising slowly, the fake muscles in his left leg making a low wizzing noise, as he slowly paced around the recently emptied cargo bay.
Perhaps he should get it looked at? It wasn't like the pain was going to get any better, or any worse. And they were going back to Fell Justice soon, there was a healer that he trusted there. Looking down at his arms he noted the marks and scratches on the metal mirrioring the scarring of his remaining flesh. He remember some of the them.
The large gauging marks from the time he'd been facing down a Blood Dragon in the fighting pits. It was a bigger fight from his later career and a feirce one too. Mid fight the beast had managed to catch Tal's arm in it's jaws, a vice like grip that would have torn his arm from his socket if not for his cybernetics. After a few minutes, which at the time had felt like hours, Tal managed to prize the beasts mouth open and ripped out one of it's larger front teeth. A moment later Tal had sliced it's throat open with the same tooth. 
Thinking about the fight Tal mused that his cybers were probably the reason he was still alive today. In one piece at least. They had saved him from falls that would have shattered his bones, stopped strikes that would have cleaved him in two and allowed him to strike harder with fearing painful feedback blows.
Perhaps he shouldn't have tried to kill the Huragok that had done it to him all those years ago. But then at the time Tal had been different, his expierences since those days had opened his eyes more to the greater world.
