Bitek is a contraction of "bionic biotech"
and it is based on o-type clone parts. The part is then enhanced with neo-muscle,
redundant nerve trunking, toughened blood vessels and, where necessary, strengthened
bones. The table below lists bitek limbs - from those
available at clinics to the military grade. The statistics are set for that
limb only and are static. They are not affected by any other implants (such
as muscle grafts). Genetic tailoring does not affect

Agile $1,000 ; IL D2
The replacement has superb mobility, add +1 REF with this limb.
Armouring Varies ; IL D4/Rtg
This is only available for bitek bought from black clinics or the military.
SDP damage is recovered at the normal healing rate. Level one grants 2/2
AP with 200 SDP and costs is $500. Level two costs $1,000 and grants 4/4
AP and 400 SDP.
Boneblade $1200 ; IL 2D4
This is a bone which extends out of a toughened pocket in the forearm. It
serrated edge does 4D6 damage and has +3 OFF, +2 DEF, -1 AM and a minimum
strength of 5. It is fully retractable and extends up eight inches from
the top of the wrist. As the bone is an organic material, some weapon scanners
may not register it as a weapon (ref's discression).
Claws $800 (fixed); IL 2D4 or $1000 (concealed) IL
D4
Sharpened claws mounted in the fingers. Normally, these replace the finger
nails and reduce DEX by one point. Concealed claws are just as sharp, but
retractable into the finger tips (the -1 DEX penalty applies when the claws
are extended). Both do 2D6 damage, have +1 OFF, minimum strength 4 and -1
AM.
Fastheal $500 ; IL 1
The limb's tissues heal quickly, increasing the healing rate by +1 in that
location only.
