Neo-Terranites
Origins and Genetic Engineering
Neo‑Terranites were created by the Terranite bio‑tech consortium in the early 23rd century to meet the demands of deep‑space colonisation and interstellar warfare. The modifications, delivered via a Class‑IV Teleka‑Drive‑assisted nanolaser implant, included:
Muscle‑fiber hyperplasia – increased myosin density for superior strength. Bone‑density enhancement – re‑structured collagen matrix for greater impact resistance. Regenerative gene suite – splice‑ins from Magi (Mars) and Pangor (Venus) stem‑cell regulators accelerate tissue repair. Immunity vector – a synthetic cassette granting resistance to xenocryptic pathogens. These changes were first conceived during the Teleka renaissance, a period in which the Terranites received a Class‑III Teleka Drive from the Elvari—an event that marked the beginning of human‑driven technological evolution on Terra Prime Pasted_Text_1755663104091.txt .
Physical Characteristics
Neo‑Terranites keep the visual hallmarks of their Terranite ancestors—tan‑tinged skin, brown‑to‑black hair, and amber or green eyes—yet they exhibit a more robust frame. Their dermal layers are embedded with a nanocore lattice, giving their skin a subtle metallic sheen and a thicker, more resilient texture.
Culture and Society
The Neo‑Terranites foster a culture of martial discipline, scientific rigor, and unwavering loyalty to the Imperium of the Pure. Their societal hierarchy is merit‑based: genetic fitness, tactical skill, and fidelity to the Imperium dictate rank. Rituals such as the Purity Trials test physical resilience and reinforce collective identity.
Imperium of the Pure
Founded in 3650, the Imperium of the Pure is a theocratic‑military state spanning the Fedrik Galaxy and reaching the Aldorik Galaxywith numerous frontier colonies in other Galaxies. Neo‑Terranites form the core of its military and administrative elite, wielding advanced weaponry and logistics derived from Terranite‑engineered technology. The Imperium’s flag bears the Terranite Star—an homage to the Elvari gift—and its creed centres on purity of lineage, strength of body, and purity of purpose.
