Genomods: synthetics and chimera designed for specific environments or purposes.
Geneered Chimera are practical at TL14.
Spacer
Human Chimera SDEIES 221222.
Size 60 humanoid pattern.
Legs with Manipulators.
Vacuum resistance, short-term.
High oxygenation.
Low-G environment.
Smaller than typical humans, Spacers are designed to feel at home in minimal-gravity environments, and in the complete weightlessness of space. Their feet are modified manipulators, with opposable big toes. They can oxygenate their blood to a high level in a short period of time and have strong mucous membranes, as well as slightly recessed capillary blood vessels, allowing them to survive for short periods of time in total vacuum. At normal gravity, they usually feel weak, and use exoskeletal armor to get around.
As genetically engineered people, they might not have good protection against the hard radiation of space. So they won't intentionally be outside without a vacc suit.
Stout
Human Chimera SDEIES 424222.
Size 120 HBS-T-AN-LL-N.
High-G environment.
The heavy-world counterpart to Spacers, Stouts are comfortable in environments 2 G's and higher. Muscles are modified to handle crushing gravities, and inside their torsos are bony geodesic structures, creating internal compartmentalization to prevent crushing of organs. They have four sturdy legs to better distribute their mass. They tend to become ponderous and dizzy under normal gravity.
Aquarian
Human Chimera SDEIES 222222.
Size 72 humanoid pattern.
Webbed hands and feet.
Gills and lungs.
High oxygenation.
Underwater environment.
Aquarians are designed for aquatic environments. They have gills as well as lungs, and long, webbed hands and toes (which make getting around on land slightly uncomfortable for them). Their ears are less pressure-sensitive, and as with Spacers, their blood can oxygenate to a high level. Their hearing and vision are both adapted to underwater use as well.
Synthetics are practical at TL13.
Spartan
Synthetic SDEIES UPP=AA7700. MCr 4.9 each.
14 open skill levels.
Size 96 humanoid pattern.
Armored skin.
All senses +24.
Sterile.
Batch-production.
Shortened lifespan (about 40 years).
Servile.
Designed purely for combat, Spartans live rather sad lives, but when they enter combat, they are masterful. Spartans superficially resemble Stouts, with strong muscles. However, they are designed for typical human environments, and come in typical human sizes and proportions, allowing them to use normal equipment. Their skin is reinforced with natural armor. All of their senses are heightened, and they have amazingly high Dexterity (fast reflexes). They are created sterile, and have designed-in instincts to serve a certain group of people, or have innate inabilities to process certain amino acids, requiring them to maintain loyalty to their masters. Due to their design, Spartans are illegal in some parts civilized space.
Drone
Synthetic SDSIES UPP=A74100. KCr 560 each.
8 open skill levels.
Size 84 humanoid pattern.
Sterile.
Batch-production.
Shortened lifespan (about 40 years).
Servile.
Drones are are designed for slave labor. They are strong like Spartans, with altered muscles for a longer work day, but have low mental abilities and no social status. They also have built-in "loyalty factors" such as amino acid deficiencies and limited life-spans. Due to their design, Drones are illegal in civilized space, but some remain, and some unscrupulous people continue to produce them.
