Identifier chip

An Identifier Chip is one of the four core implants given to all new racers who arrive on Offworld, as well as all slaves and servants of the controllers who rule the planet of Offworld. It is used for a variety of purposes, although its primary intended purpose is simply to identify an individual to the Resource Nodes and other controller systems scattered all throughout the planet. Loss of this device, at least for racers, means instant disqualification, and in some cases, even death. The same is true for any slave of the controllers who tries to remove it, or has it removed by someone else.
