Most technology on Umayma is powered by a mix of organic and non-organic components. Technologies which are composed of both organic and non-organic components are called semi-organic, and are generally created by magicians and upkept by Com technicians or tissue mechanics.

From God's War:

The bakkie’s front end hissed open. Waves of yeasty steam rolled off the innards. Nyx wiped the moisture from her face and peered into the guts of the bakkie. The bug cistern was covered in a thin film of organic tissue, healthy and functioning, best Nyx could tell by the color. The hoses were in worse shape—semi-organic, just like the cistern, but patched and replaced in at least a half-dozen places she could see without bringing in a speculum. In places, the healthy amber tissue had blistered and turned black.
