— A sample ID chip

ID chips are implanted in a person's neck, or similar body part, upon birth, or upon their species joining the Galactian Prime. They store a minimal amount of data; name, species, date of birth, medical conditions, both chronic and in the last 6 months and amount of Galriks.
The ID chips are commonly scanned when travelling throughout the Galactian Prime, visiting a doctor, accessing private property such as houses or spaceships and upon completing transactions of money. The chips can also be scanned in the event of medical emergency (as a way to identify the person, as well as to enable any medical conditions to be treated), and are used to identify the dead.
Upon death the chips are wiped of any data stored and reassigned or stored ready to be reassigned. Currently there are 34875 ID chips in storeage.
