Cyborgs are very uncommon in the Corumbrum Military. The main reason for this is the problems that arise due to the cultural background. The main problem with Borgs especially Full-Conversion Borgs is that of Cyber-Psychosis. The onset varies in the four main races between 3 months and 2 years and is fatal to the cyborg between 6 months and 2 years after on set. Most Cyborgs have to be killed either because they become a threat to themselves or in most cases because they become incurable psychopaths. Even amongst humans, who appear to be the least susceptible less than 25% fully adapt to the change with no psychosis or neurosis, and 32% develop Cyber-Psychosis.
All Cyborgs have a construction budget allowing characters to design themselves. The sums available are in millions of credits and are given for Full-Conversion Cyborgs. Partial conversion Cyborgs get two thirds of the amount rolled. Partial Cybernetic reconstruction is the only kind licensed with the Corumbrum, and even then the reconstruction is limited. Partial reconstruction replaces both arms and legs, and strengthens the shoulders, spin, ribs, and pelvis, to accept the new limbs. If the budget allows additional arms or a tail may be added but this is rare. Bionic or Cybernetic Optical replacement is exceedingly rare as is the bionic replacement of the heart and lungs or vocal chords. If replacement is required on medical ground then Bio-Systems will be used. All Borgs automatically get (at no cost):
Cybernetic Amplified Hearing, Ultra-Ear, and Sound filtration (both ears)
Partial conversion Borgs have their height increased by 2D4 inches, and their weight increased by 250 + height increase x15 pounds. Partial conversion cost 590,000 credits and provides the following capabilities M.D.C 200, P.S.10 (max = 24 cost 1200/pt), P.P.10 (max = 22 cost 1500/pt), Spd 18 (max = 217 cost 1200/pt)
Cybernetic Head Jack & Universal implant.
Cybernetic Gyro-compass.

The Infantry make up the bulk of the Alliance ground based planetary forces. About 70% of those in the Infantry are Corumbrum citizens serving out their National Service before returning to non-military careers. National Service Infantry and Regular Infantry are very rarely mixed in squads, and the Regular Infantry gets the better assignments, postings, and duties.

The Marines are the elite of the Infantry. They make up about 10% of Planetary ground forces but their primary purpose is to serve on defense stations and ships of the line (Frigates, Cruisers, Battleships, Dreadnoughts, and Cruisers). 99% of Marines are career soldiers but about 1% are Specialists serving out their National Service. No distinction is made between them and regular Marines, and many a Marine has come off worse after picking a fight with one.

Special Forces troops are the pick of the Marines, and are selected after the first 12 months of training. They are the 'covert' operations branch of the military used for operations behind enemy lines. Special Forces troops usually operate in two or four man squads but occasionally are attached to regular infantry units. In such instances a Major rather than a Lieutenant usually commands the unit.

The Pilot Elite are the Power Armour, Robot, ViRRDS, Fighter, and Shuttle pilots of the Corumbrum Alliance. Each has a primary and Secondary area of knowledge. These are selected from the following skills
Power Armour Combat
Robot Combat
ViRRDS Combat (Qovgem or Corum Only)
Fighter Combat
Drop Ship and Shuttle Combat
Fighters in the context of the Corumbrum are either extra-atmosphere or atmospheric. Atmospheric fighters function equally well inside an atmosphere (including underwater) or in space and are all capable of achieving both orbit and in system flight. Extra-atmosphere fighters cannot enter an atmosphere but have the advantage that they are deep space capable and some have FTL capability as well.

Because of the diverse nature of the equipment in the modern army engineers are forced to specialize in an area of expertise (A.O.E.). It is possible for experience engineers to be expert in two or more areas. Characters gain all the skills listed under an A.O.E. upon selection of that A.O.E.

Arcanists are those individuals dedicated to the pursuit of the 'Magic Arts'. Most individuals who claim to be 'Wizards' are charlatans and are found out when they attempt to enter the Special Operations Executive to serve out their National Service. Those with true talent often remain within the Special Operations Executive or transfer to its civilian equivalent after their national service as it allows them greater freedom to pursue their studies. Use of Magic amongst the civilian population is carefully controlled to avoid outbreaks of mass hysteria and witch hunts. Characters wishing to play this character should read the Arcanist/Mage description in Beyond the Supernatural®.

Block P.P.E. drain is a skill known by all Arcanists in the Corumbrum. Because of the low P.P.E levels the environment acts as a P.P.E. leach meaning that any Magic-User or wielder without this skill cannot retain more than 50% of their maximum P.P.E. Characters with this skill need to make a skill check once a day at dawn. If they succeed they retain all their P.P.E. otherwise it leeches away leaving them with 50% for the day. Base Skill: 30% +5% per level Bonus: Multiply any M.E. bonus vs Psi save by 5% and add as a skill bonus.
