A Soong-type android is type of android first created by the great cyberneticist Dr. Noonien Soong. All Soong-type androids are equipped with a sophisticated positronic brain, 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")
Soong-type androids were incapable of alcohol intoxication yet components in its processing systems are susceptible to disruption by polywater intoxication. (TNG: "The Outrageous Okona", "The Naked Now")
