Synthetic Arachnids
Synthetic Arachnids are sophisticated biomechanical organisms that combine advanced robotics with arachnid-inspired design. First developed in 2158 by Octopod Industries, these artificial life forms serve crucial roles in surveillance, maintenance, and defense operations across various sectors.
Design and Structure
Synthetic Arachnids feature quantum-crystalline exoskeletons integrated with advanced sensor arrays and powered by miniaturized thoracic fusion cores. Their eight legs incorporate nano-scale hydraulics that enable precise movement and force control, while specialized spinnerets produce high-tensile synthetic fiber for various applications.
