Neo-Sapien Race #
The Neo-Sapien race was genetically created by the self-proclaimed Emperor and his scientists. Their purpose were to serve as highly specialized troops for the Emperor’s goal of total domination. The Neo-Sapiens are grown in cloning vats and emerge with fully developed personalities and almost all the skills they will need to know. All Neo-Sapiens begin their aging rolls at 27½ and frequency increases at ages 32½ and 37½. There are several different types Neo-Sapiens each with a specialized purpose. The different types of Neo-Sapiens mature at varying rates, see individual descriptions for more detail.
Neo-Warrior - 75 Points #
The Neo-Warriors are the back-bone of the Empires fighting forces, they are merciless, brutal, sadistic killers that the Emperor turns loose on his enemies. After only 25 days the Neo- Warriors reach maturity and are ready to go into battle, during this time they also receive additional training. Neo-Warriors have double strength (but not fatigue), and can run twice as fast on flat level ground as long as they are travelling in a relatively straight line.

Their abilities are more mentally oriented, they have exceptional intelligence and memory.
