Homebrew Android Species Details
Split into combat, recon, and command androids, this race is built for a specific job in the android hierarchy. These machines are built by a central factory, and distributed to whoever will pay for them. These highly developed machines are an advanced form of AI put into a modern form, and, depending on the model, can be so realistically human that they can easily gather intel on their enemies, sending the signals back to their Cloud so that the information will live even if their body is destroyed.

Download
When your form is destroyed, your memories most recently uploaded to the Cloud by a recon android can be downloaded into any piece of technology. Usually, this means that your body can be replaced when your body is destroyed, but your memories may be fractured if you didn't upload your most recent events.
