Spartan Project
The ancient Tulathians of United Terra began a eugenics
program to create a better man. The
project was successful and gradually the whole society was using eugenics to
breed their entire population. The
eugenics program eventually lead to the Spartan Project in which they began to
use more serious genetic engineering to create super-soldiers. Slowly the governing of the nation was being
taken over by a line of genetically bred and engineered tyrants, for lack of a
better word. They were good and bad leaders
of the United Terra and they built a great and somewhat successful Empire. But like the emperors of old, they wanted
more and so they started a war with their galactic neighbors. The war lasted for close to a century as they
gobbled up all their neighbors. The
Earth Directorate was the only power that was great enough to stop them and
even though they outnumbered United Terra by at least three-to-one, they did
not have the brilliant minds such as Admiral Narimath, Admiral Coe and General
Itanshi. Through incredible skill, luck
and sheer brilliance, The Earth Directorate soon found itself on the losing end
of the war. The end of the war is not
known…
Not all of the genetically engineered folk where of the mind
to conquer and many of them defected to the Earth Directorate during the
war. The most famous of them Patrick
Gael who lead the defense of the Aldeberan Prime and the evacuation of Titus
Five. They were two major victories for
the Earth Directorate. Other genetically
engineered warriors joined the Earth Directorate and created families. On Eave they include the danGael, Chan and
Kray.
Tulathians are a hearty race. Their average height for a man is six-four
and woman are five-ten, compared to the average height for a Danaan man is six
feet and a woman five-six. The
Tulathians were bred for this and the eugenics program made for people sound in
body and mind. Those family lines who
have proved themselves were qualified to be genetically engineered. On Eave they are the Veklo, Coryaku, Travati
and Tonn. There are many other families
that have the Spartan blood in them.
After many generations on Eave, Spartan blood has weakened. They have taken it upon themselves to marry
into others that have the Spartan blood, a eugenics program in itself! The families listed above are those that have
held on to their Spartan heritage.
