A '''Soong-type android''' is type of [[android]] first created by the great [[cybernetic]]ist [[Doctor|Dr.]] [[Noonien Soong]]. All Soong-type androids are equipped with sophisticated [[positronic brain]]s, granting them [[sentience]]. Soong created a total of six androids, although only the last three had fully functional positionic brains. The first five Soong-type androids were built as images of Dr. Soong, albeit with pale skin and yellow eyes. No other individual since has been able to replicate Soong's accomplishment, although Data came close with the creation of his daughter [[Lal]] in [[2366]]. ({{TNG|The Offspring|Inheritance}})

A Soong-type android was a type of android first created by the cyberneticist Dr. Noonian Soong. Soong-type androids were equipped with sophisticated positronic brains. A total of six androids were known to have been created by Soong, although only the last three had fully functional positronic brains. The first five Soong-type androids were built as images of Dr. Soong, albeit with pale skin and yellow eyes. No other individual since was able to replicate Soong's accomplishment, although Data came close with the creation of his daughter Lal in 2366. (Star Trek Nemesis; TNG: "Datalore", "The Measure Of A Man", "The Offspring", "Inheritance")

Soong-type androids were incapable of alcohol intoxication, yet components in their processing systems were susceptible to disruption by polywater intoxication. (TNG: "The Outrageous Okona", "The Naked Now")

The beginning groundwork for the Soong-type android was first developed in 2154 by Noonian Soong's ancestor, Dr. Arik Soong, after giving up his work in genetics. (ENT: "The Augments")
