X-4 Cybernetic Enhancement Unit

The X-4 Cybernetic Enhancement Unit, or CEU for short, was a specially designed, surgically implanted cybernetic skeleton used by the Sorian Shadowstrikers. Designed to enhance the wearer's speed and strength ten-fold, the implant also increased survivability by way of a vitals regulator, bacta infusion system, and Kevala structure, and battlefield awareness and intelligence gathering by way of a tactical display projected right onto the troopers eyes and a secure Holonet uplink. The unit could be linked to armor and various computer systems, allowing the wearer to slice and control their armor systems with their mind.

History
The X-4 CEU was first proposed around the end of the Revanite incident. Sorian troopers had fought the Infinite Army cyborgs, and the leaders of the military thought that cybernetic enhancement was the way to go. Within a few years, the first prototypes of the X-4 CEU were being produced. Soon into the program, two things were discovered: First, the program was very expensive. One skeleton cost as much as a company's worth of blaster rifles. Secondly, the skeleton was dangerous. Since it worked by manipulating its user's bone and muscle structure, it was often difficult for adults to use because they were being asked to stretch their body in ways it was not intended to.
