I dunno, kind of random.
All right, I'm not entirely sure why, but this started popping into my head last night.

Endoskeletal Enhancement
History:
The Endoskeletal Enhancement, colloquially called "SkeleTech," it was originally developed for Military purposes, in the hopes of increasing the strength, speed, and endurance of their soldiers, allowing them to be even more self-sufficient on the field. However, the peculiar enhancement found a new purpose after mans entry into space, and this new purpose was further solidified after the "Great Meeting." It became a permanent solution to what was an extremely common condition among human space farer's, which was muscle atrophy and the characteristic bone loss caused by spaceflight, also called Spaceflight Osteopenia. With the increased travel between Earth and various colonies that were slowly beginning to dot our star system, more and more people began looking to space travel for employment, but as more and more of these "Spacers" appeared, Spaceflight Osteopenia became a severe (and common) problem, causing many cases of osteoporosis. For many years the ways of combating this condition was rigorous training every day, and injections of various vitamins and other supplements to help keep bones and muscles strong. These solutions, however, were painful and they were never permanent. It was observed, however, that soldiers who had Endoskeletal Enhancements did not suffer from Spaceflight Osteopenia, and soon doctors were planning studies, and eventually offering the implants as a rather extreme, but permanent solution to some patients. Now, nearly 75 years later, nearly every zero-G worker has an Endoskeletal Enhancement.
Specifications:
The Endoskeletal Enhancement is a rather impressive piece of technology, and while the exact specifications vary on make and model, there are some attributes that are common among all of them. Endoskeletal Enhancements consist of a primary stabilization and computer unit, which is generally a epidermal implant that appears to sheath the spine in metal, and due to it's size, generally protrudes through the skin, appearing to be a metal spine. Generally speaking, the only other visible signs of an Endoskeletal Enhancement, are 22 circular "ports" that are installed at major joints, two on opposite sides on each wrist, elbow, shoulder, ankle, and knee, and one on each hip. The purpose of these ports are to grant easier access to the various mechanical and electrical components installed within the body.
The basic enhancements that a Endoskeletal Enhancement gives, is added strength to the patients skeletal structure by way of a special net of fiber that begins growth over the skeletal structure, improving its strength.
Many units are fitted to enhance the patients strength and stamina as well by means of minor electrical stimulation of the muscles and joints.
Endoskeletal Enhancements with strength and stamina enhancers also allow the patient to access and use a piece of equipment known as Virtual Intelligence Assisted Armor (VIAA.)
