Half-droids can accomplish all tasks a droid can do, are sentient, but are not self-aware. As well, because half-droids are mass-produced, they lack the Improvisation System. Half-droids are mostly commissioned for service work, such as house-keeping, building, and other repetitive, easy tasks. Often, their intelligences might be upgraded for sparring, bussing, and cooking. Service Intelligences (SI's) are often lumped together with half-droids as far as intelligences go. However, SI's serve a different purpose altogether, being more used in business and skyship maintenance. SI's lack physical bodies but possess the same intelligence capabilities as half-droids. They can be wired to a building's or skyship's built-in service network and can monitor the whole of the structure, from the power core to a single toilet. They can also be used for reception, tour guidance, and database logs. They can even direct half-droids in work. As an added bonus, most come with a programmed Improvisation System Half-droids and SI's should never be in service for more than 6 months. On many occasions, they will develop brain pattern synopses similar to self-aware thought. This can lead to rebellion, breakdown, or far more catastrophic consequences. The most devastating case of self-awareness happened in the capitol building of Avaris, where 196 people were held hostage by a rogue SI and its army of half-droids. This caused almost 30 deaths and over 65 million cel in property damage. For those who wish to keep their half-droids and SI's rather than purchase a whole new one, a simple memory wipe will suffice. However, doing so has a risk of wiping out the entire intelligence altogether, a particularly devastating consequence to SI owners.
