View source for Soong-type android

* Appearance: Humanoid; specifically human-form in general structure
** Original design
*** Pale skin, golden eyes
** Later designs
*** Reconfigurable appearance able to resemble most humanoid species
* Developed by [[Noonien Soong]]
* Physical structure
** 24.6 kg of [[tripolymer composite]] substrate over a 11.8 kg [[molybdenum]]-[[cobalt]] [[polyalloy]] skeleton (TNG: "The Most Toys", "The Chase"; TNG Novel: ''The Buried Age'', ''Immortal Coil'')
*** Portions of skeleton, including the skull, are also made of tripolymer composite (TNG Novel: ''Immortal Coil'')
** Skin consists of 1.3 kg of [[bioplast]] sheeting (TNG: "The Most Toys"; TNG Novel: ''Immortal Coil'')
*** ''11.8 kg per ''Immortal Coil''; presumably an error given it was otherwise quoted from "The Most Toys"''
* Computational hardware
** Positronic neural network (TNG)
*** Linear computational speed of sixty trillion operations per second (TNG Novel: ''The Buried Age'')
* Immune to most forms of radiation, including [[proton radiation|proton]], [[beta radiation|beta]], and [[hyperonic radiation|hyperonic]] (TNG Novel: ''The Buried Age''; TNG: "The Ensigns of Command")
* Capable of surviving in vacuum for at least 24 hours with minor damage to bioplast skin (TNG Short Story: "'Twould Ring the Bells of Heaven"; ''Star Trek: Nemesis'')
