Anthros Concierge Systems is the dominant prosthetics and elective-augmentation manufacturer in the belt, fabricating limbs at Ceres- and Deimos-adjacent facilities from belt-sourced material. By 2123, an estimated 1-in-9 licensed miners and haulage crew at Ceres and Deimos carried at least one elective Anthros limb — a voluntary substitution for a healthy limb, known on the docks as “trading up.”
Anthros did not develop the neuromotor interface its limbs depend on. That architecture belongs to Helios Prosthetics, which in 2093 secured a specialized-function license under Article 4.2 of the UN Charter on Embodied Cognitive Systems (2052) for a stripped-down neuromotor bridge — narrow enough to clear the Article 4.1 prohibition on general cognitive intelligence in embodied platforms. Anthros’s contribution was scale: belt-sourced material, off-world fabrication, and thirty years of production experience that closed the gap between “legally permitted” and “genuinely better than what it replaced.”
Current-generation Anthros limbs provide crew-reported carrying capacity two to three times unassisted human baseline, with comparable impact-resistance gains. The company maintains that augmentation is never a condition of employment, though labor advocates have raised concerns about de facto pressure as the physical baseline shifts across the workforce.
