A supplement that presents many technomagical elements to Exalted while significantly expanding on the number of pre-created Background choices available to players.
I seem to recall this beast from the 1st edition Manacle and Coin. I don't think it's silly so much as unusually modern. The use of a living creature to process and refine a biochemical substance is an idea straight out of science fiction (pharm animals) or cutting edge biotech (using bacteria and GM pigs to produce human insulin). I'm not sure how I feel about the idea in a fantasy game though. Was their magical science really that sophisticated?

Yep, it appeared in Manacle and Coin. Yes the first age Solar technology was that advanced. Their technology was god like for all intents and purposes, just about everything you can imagine except space travel.
