Assault-Class Engineered (Homo gebansis potens)

Alias: None
Origin: Geba (planet-wide, various biomes)

The Assault-Class Engineered, designed by Prince Varethis’Daer Venar during the later stages of the Era of Absolute Expansion (~2,000–1,500 years before modern Geba), are a specialized class of Engineered humans built for physical dominance, structural breaching, and direct confrontation of hostile environments. Intended to hold territory and withstand apex threats—sentient or feral—they are defenders by design, not merely survivors. Their robust physiology, rooted in Frost Sentinel DNA, ensures resilience across all of Geba’s terrains, including stratospheric peaks up to 60 km with specialized gear like Haavu’s Siege Plate. Despite myths, they retain full cognitive integrity and strategic reasoning, though their extreme impulsivity drives them to pursue increasingly dangerous feats in civilian life, often ignoring cautionary advice. When paired with a skilled Tactician-Class, they are virtually unstoppable.

Lifespan

Assault-Class Engineered can live 160–250 years, longer than natural-born humans (120–150 years) and comparable to other Engineered classes, though they typically die around 60 years due to their extreme impulse to undertake dangerous civilian feats, relentlessly pursuing ever-riskier challenges despite warnings.

Uses

• Combat Roles: Excel in holding territory, breaching structures, and confronting apex threats. Synergize with Tactician-Class for strategic coordination.
• Cultural Significance: Often serve voluntarily, reflecting loyalty to their Engineered lineage and Emperor Varethis’Auren Kel’varesh’s reforms, symbolizing unyielding resilience.
• Guidance: Equip with heavy-duty gear (e.g., Haavu’s Siege Plate) for extreme environments; monitor for impulsive behavior to mitigate civilian risks.

Notes

Assault-Class Engineered emerged as part of Prince Daer’s bioengineering to conquer Geba’s harshest terrains, becoming prominent post-Auren’s assassination (~2,000 years before modern Geba). Their Frost Sentinel-derived physiology ensures unmatched endurance, but their impulsivity to pursue extreme feats often leads to early mortality in civilian life, despite lifespans rivaling Destroyer-Class (up to 400 years). The Empire’s 8-Year Rule mandates service for state-born individuals, though many serve voluntarily. Their synergy with Tactician-Class maximizes their effectiveness, making them a formidable force. Expedition teams should leverage their speed and strength but exercise caution in non-combat settings, as their disregard for restraint complicates safety protocols. Their limitless adaptability fulfills their purpose to dominate any Geban environment.
