"There, nuclear fusion inside a heart. Happy? Yes? Now stop nagging about 'excessively power-hungry cybernetics'. Nitwit."

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
CVB-12 'Sunheart' Power Hearts are a premier heart replacement designed specifically for individuals sporting power-intensive cybernetics. It can be used even without such needs, e.g., by users paranoid about heart failure or soldiers/athletes wishing to maximise their athletic performance.
Sunhearts are in no way shape or form ordinary - they are enhancements, not 'mere replacements'. They are rarely if ever found in the chests of ordinary people. Rather, typical customers include governments eager to improve cybernetic supersoldiers, eccentric wealthy people obsessed with self-improvement through technology, and Globex executives (the difference between them and the former is largely academic).
- Intent: Replace the shoddy pump in your chest with something better.

- Canon Link: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: OB-44 'Theia' Bionic Eye
- Manufacturer: The Globex Corporation
- Affiliation: The Globex Corporation
- Market Status: Open-Market
- Model: CVB-12 'Sunheart' Power Heart
- Modularity: Moderate; can be adapted to diverse biologies, scaled up or down (within reason), and integrated with other cybernetics.
- Production: Limited
- Material: Duranium-Hexaplast
- Classification: Heart
- Size: Average
- Weight: Heavy
- Resistances: Notably more resilient than an organic heart.
- Energy Weapons: High
- Kinetic Weapons: High
- Lightsabers: Very Low
- EMP/Ion: Very High
- Sunhearts incorporate all the functionality one would expect from a high-end cybernetic heart; by most metrics, they are blatantly superior to fallible flesh. Only the most extreme of EMPs and ion weapons have any chance whatsoever of inducing cardiac arrest.
- Sunhearts satiate power-hungry cybernetics through a clean and safe cold ionization fusion core. Sunhearts never need to be refuelled, they simply take the smallest sliver of breathed-in air and add the necessary element(s) to a tiny storage tank. Sophisticated cleansing techniques are used to purge the tiny amount of waste they produce of radiation - after being cleansed, it is simply ejected via exhalation.
- Superhuman Circulation: Sunhearts pump blood better, faster, and more consistently than organic hearts; they can purge contaminants from the bloodstream and clear blood clots. Maximal aerobic capacity is greatly increased, especially if combined with enhanced lungs and doubly so if the blood vessels themselves are replaced with synthetic variants able to withstand higher pressures without bursting.
- Heart of the Sun: Sunhearts are able to satiate even the power-hungriest of cybernetics through cold ionization fusion.
- Mechanical: Sunhearts will keep beating almost no matter what, but EMPs/ion weapons often decrease performance.
