Sophont Biobots, artificial biotech-based organisms that mimic naturally evolved organisms in various ways. Many bionoids are humanoid, (the name bionoid was originally a contraction of 'biotech humanoid', but it is now used to describe a wide range of biological morphs.
Bionoids include many different clades of Synthetic human, erotobots, and diverse types of softbots and softvecs.
In historical times, bionoids were subject to various kinds of prejudice and persecution; this is much less prevalent in the Current Era, but still occasionally occurs in the Outer Volumes and Periphery. In some systems bionoids still prefer to live in their own enclaves, although this is less prevalent than in the past. About 550 trillion sophonts can be included in this category.
