Artificial Nepleslian

The collective name for cloned Nepleslian by the Nepleslian Reds coined in YE 36 to further distinguish themselves from the rest of Nepleslia. Artificial Nepleslians are more genetically engineered compared to most Nepleslians, fulfilling dual civilian/military roles.

History

After the Fall of Kennewes, the Nepleslian Reds found themselves on worlds offered by the Yamatai Star Empire (Fujiko and Rufusland). With few surviving from the Greens' offensive, the Reds turned to their age-old policy of cloning to rectify that situation with one main problem: the lack of Uesureyan Flash Cloning technology. While the Reds did manage to bring some cloning vats with them, a new method of cloning would be required. By YE 31, Nepleslian Research and Manufacturing realized that nanotechnology would be the solution. Using a combination of nanites and genetic engineering to facilitate allowing nanites to take charge of much of the quick manufacturing of cells, these clones came to be known as Artificial Nepleslians.

In YE 46, an influx of artificial nepleslians (both new and old) enlisted into the Star Army of Yamatai. With the Star Army of Yamatai engaged in the Third Mishhuvurthyar War, many saw it as the opportunity to utilize their natural desire for combat. It was also a ploy by Fujiko Development Corporation to gain a wider set of skills for the Reds not involving just hiring retired SAoY personnel as instructors and advisors. The FDC would have to wait until YE 49 at least to see any fruits from that effort.

The trend for Star Army occupations is the following

Physiology

Externally, Artificial Nepleslians do not differ at all from their “Standard” Nepleslian cousins. However when looking at their genetics and internally, there are a number of differences that can be discovered. Splitting away from the mainlain genetic stock of the Nepleslians of the Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia, the Reds have taken painstaking measures to ensure there is an extremely low rate of undesired mutations that would result in the creation of Mutants. But they still differ from humans before the introduction of alien DNA due to the presence of 1 to 4 extra artificial chromosomes.

Another key difference detectable only internally is a residual presence of nanotechnology due to their nature of being entirely manufactured. To emulate flash cloning to the best of their ability, nanites are used during their creation to facilitate exponential growth (and death) of cells starting from a zygote, to a fetus, to an infant, and all the way to an adult human with all the stages of growth naturals undergo. Genetic engineering also plays a key pary in allowing the body to function while undergoing hypergrowth within Genesis Bioforge. But a lot of residual nanites' hives in charge of helping and regulating the immune system remain. While not granting a huge boost to their immune systems, rejection rates for nanite augmentations such as Homeostatic Nanomachines have a reduced percentage, but rates of rejection for simple cybernetic arms is gradually increasing among the population.

The following generations of Artificial Nepleslians are listed below:

One last key difference is all Artificial Nepleslians are designed to be sterile at birth. Sexual organs work as they should, but male gametes do not carry any genetic material within them. Females contain half the number of immature gamates compared to naturals to convert the “empty” follicles into into nanite hives that produce progesterone and nanites that help lessen the effects of non-pregnancy by recycling the uterine lining. The process can be reversed with nanites/carrier virus carrying the “key coding” to unlock the ability to reproduce. In such situations, the nanite hives can also possibly produce caretaker nanites if programmed to.

Phenotypes

The Nepleslian Reds, initially drawing from the genetic pool of Nepleslia, encompass a wide range of ethnic groups that have been formed their own phenotypes for cloning.
