Destroyer-Class Engineered (Homo gebansis rarusoccultus necator)

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

The Destroyer-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 rare and formidable class of Engineered humans built for catastrophic force, breaching hardened targets, and serving as last-phase deterrence. Not bred intentionally but arising from a rare confluence of stacked traits, they are deployed sparingly in small groups of 2–5, operating independently to destroy all opposition and obstacles. Their massive physiology, rooted in Frost Sentinel DNA, ensures unmatched strength across all of Geba’s terrains, including stratospheric peaks up to 60 km with specialized heavy gear like Haavu’s Fortress Vest, designed for airships and platforms. Unlike the impulsive Assault-Class, Destroyer-Class seek peace and isolation in remote regions after combat duties, retreating to live solitary lives.

Lifespan

Destroyer-Class Engineered can live close to 400 years, far exceeding natural-born humans (120–150 years) and other Engineered classes (160–250 years). Unlike Assault-Class, their non-impulsive nature allows many to approach their full lifespan, retreating to isolation after service. Maturity is reached at 15–20 years, with reproduction possible thereafter.

Uses

• Combat Roles: Excel in demolishing fixed positions and delivering catastrophic force, deployed in small, independent groups of 2–5 to obliterate all targets.
• Cultural Significance: Serve voluntarily under sealed contracts, reflecting loyalty to their Engineered lineage and Emperor Varethis’Auren Kel’varesh’s reforms, symbolizing ultimate power; post-service, they seek solitude, embodying a desire for peace.
• Guidance: Equip with heavy-duty gear (e.g., Haavu’s Fortress Vest) for extreme environments; respect their post-service isolation to avoid conflict.

Notes

Destroyer-Class Engineered emerged as a rare outcome of Prince Daer’s bioengineering, becoming prominent post-Auren’s assassination (~2,000 years before modern Geba). Their Frost Sentinel-derived physiology ensures unparalleled strength, and their retreat to remote regions after combat reflects a deliberate choice for peace, contrasting with the Assault-Class’s impulsivity. The Empire’s 8-Year Rule mandates service for state-born individuals, but their rarity limits deployment to small, high-impact units. Expedition teams should leverage their destructive power during operations but avoid disturbing their isolated retreats, as their desire for solitude is resolute. Their limitless adaptability fulfills their purpose to dominate any Geban environment.
