Yesterday we looked at Electromechanic Bioengineering (Bionics) where you are able to replace physical parts of the body (arms, legs, organs) and even do a complete Neural Transfer to an artificial body. Where Bionics works on replacing the body, Cybernetics works on enhancing the neural functions of the body faster and more precise than a non-augmented body.
Cybernetics allows you to explore increased skills and computing, even allowing you to upload new skill programs into your soldiers. This can allow for quick and resolute altering of what weapons and equipment they can take to the battlefield.
Other applications include neural links to drones/robots, vehicles, and even mecha providing instantaneous connections to multiple core systems, reducing crew sizes and efficiency.

Cybernetics
Cybernetics
takes and enhances the neural functions of a humanoids nervous system,
processing information faster and more precise than an non-augmented body can.
Artificial Intelligent applications interface with organic components greatly
enhancing cognitive ability.
Sensitive neural
connections make them vulnerable to EMPs (which can exhaust the model).
Reduction in Willpower?
Cybernetic
models use their willpower instead of power for their artificial parts. This is
because they operate on the power of the bodies electrical impulses. A Cybernetic
model has a maximum number of uplinked core systems it has under its control
equal to its Willpower characteristic.
Soulless
Models cannot take cybernetics.

Both Electromechanical Bioengineering and Cybernetics are Species Modifications. These are changes to your current race through technology (most of the time) to advance your species forward through the perils of the 2nd Age. So yes, your race of Shadowy Underworld Assassins might take on cybernetics to enhance themselves, while your front line soldiers become unyielding living machines of destruction. Any modification can be added to your Race of Fey, Giants, Dwarves, Aberrations, and much much more.
The Genesys Project Allows an unprecidented amount of customization for your faction. In Genesys, you are in control.
