[[Image:CU.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A {{PAGENAME}}{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|3}}]]'''Cerebral Units''' (or CU's) are technological devices created by the [[KinAncestor Core]] 's of the [[Leagues of Votann]]. They contain the personalities and "brain" of [[Ironkin]] [[Abominable Intelligence|Sentient]] [[Robot]]s. The Units are woven with microfield generators that make them very hard to destroy, should an Ironkin's body become too damaged and need to be replaced.{{Fn|1}}
Produced from Ancestor Core's with full cognitive development and a pre-programmed inclination to pursue a certain niche in their society, Ironkin's Cerebral Units then interface with a fabricated body depending on their function (i.e. [[Steeljack]] bodies being larger, sturdier, and designed for combat).{{Fn|3}} Each Cerbral Unit is woven with microfield generators that make them very hard to destroy, should an Ironkin's body become too damaged and need to be replaced.{{Fn|1}} These same field generators allow them to even survive without a body for a time.{{Fn|3}} When an Ironkin is badly damaged or destroyed, the Cerebral Unit can join with their leagues [[Ancestor Core]] in a manner similar to organic [[Squat]]s of the Votann.{{Fn|22a}} When dealing with outsiders, Ironkin may activate a mirror or glare filter over their CU, turning the outside of their domed heads reflective, obfuscating their mechanical nature.{{Fn|4}}
