Nanites are robotic devices used inside the body primarily for medical purposes. Most people in the Pax Imperium have nanites in their blood at all times monitoring their body if not intervening to improve their health in some way or another.

Emergency medical nanites (EMNs) are a special class of nanite injected when a medical need arises. They are designed to perform life saving functions, such as coagulation and stimulating the adrenal gland.

Nanites can also be used to take over parts of the brain including the visual and auditory cortices causing the victim to hallucinate. When nanites are used in this way it is called a mind hack.

Medical claws are robotic arms attached to a track in the ceiling of most modern medical examination rooms and operating suites. Connected to a local AI the claw can act as an autonomous examination, diagnosis and treatment tool that works in conjunction with the medical nanites in a person’s blood. Medical claws are named claws because when retracted to the ceiling their jointed segments and tools on the end can resemble a pulled up bird talon or claw. Medical claws are found in all states of the Pax Imperium.
