Tracing ultimately back to technological ruins, androids are not born as are most other races, but nor are they made, as are construct races such as the geppettoians or other construct races. Perhaps best thought of as “ensouled machines,” a living android is the result of a mortal soul inhabiting an effectively-immortal android body, which may have housed many souls over the centuries. Consequently, androids occupy a strange gray area between that of most humanoid races, who have bodies that deteriorate, and constructs such as golems, which lack souls altogether.
