Originating from the genes of model Pamela Crawford, they are genetically engineered to be a balance between physique and empathy and tend to be very attractive. They are not very intelligent however.

The first generation created in secret by the Megalith Corporation. The original genetic experiments produced a batch of children with unusual characteristics but who were more or less otherwise normal humans. This involved basic gene therapy treatments, strand purification and subject conditioning of natural humans.

Adam The original artificially birthed human, Adam, genetically engineered to be superior in every way. In practice this led to far superior physique and intelligence at the expense of empathy. The first problem was revealed that Adams did not get along and ended up competing for power.

Eve The second genetically engineered human, engineered to be more submissive and controllable. Eve still had above average physique and intelligence, but was exceptionally empathetic.

Samson The first attempt at splicing animal DNA, this variant of Adam was incredibly strong physically, but stupid and psychopathic.

Solomon The first attempt at enlarged brain size, this variant of Adam was extraordinarily smart, but weak and antisocial.

Sarah This was a highly physically attractive variant of Eve.

Mary This was a highly intellectually attractive variant of Eve.

The second generation of genetically enhanced naturally born humans, these had more controls implemented and were more socially compatible. These variants were developed just before the exodus from Earth forced by the defeat of the Consortium. At this point the Megalith Corporation changed strategies and using the research completed from the previous studies took the results public, producing the first batch of stable artificial humans. The previous cohorts were abandoned, and the first true generation according to Zenith Imperial history began. A balanced trade-off theory was ternary and incorporated six genotypes. The three points of the triangle are focused on physique, intelligence, and empathy respectively. The three middle grounds balance between two of these characteristics.

Lords Originating from the genes of founder and CEO, Marcus Dusk, they are genetically engineered to be a balance of physique and intelligence and bred to command the forces of the Imperium. Due to a lack of empathy however, they are known to be rather ruthless bordering on psychopathy, which does much to explain the aggressive behaviour of the Imperium.

Nymphs Originating from the genes of pop idol sensation Neon Kim, they are genetically engineered to be a balance between physique and empathy and tend to be very attractive. They are not very intelligent however.

Giants They originate from the genes of a mercenary security contractor named Arnold Bolt. By combining animal DNA it is possible to focus on physique and engineer unhuman toughness and strength. Overtime they developed into elite shock troops, standing seven feet tall, with massive musculature, and abnormally thick skin. They tend to be dumb and psychopathic.

Fairies They originate from the genes of a secretary and house maid named Miki Hitomi. These cute creatures focus on empathy through utilizing herd animal DNA to acquire more docile and submissive characteristics. Generally considered a pet caste, they serve as willing servants. The original Eves were much milder more balanced versions of these.

Wizards Originating from the genes of CTO and Noble Prize winning physicist Professor Steven Einstein they are a uniquely designed series of humanoids whose cranial capacity was stretched to the limits of physics and biology in the hopes of maximizing brain size and thus intelligence. They have especially large heads and eyes, childish body proportions and somewhat resemble a cartoon character. The result is exceedingly intelligent and surprisingly cute. They function as the scientists and intellectuals of the Imperium.

Ladies They originate from the genes of President Mei Li. While the cult of superhumanity dominated the Imperium, some felt that physical humanity was not a very desirable trait, and that engineering should attempt to create an entirely new, superior species of intelligent life. They are efforts to do just that by balancing intelligence and empathy at the expense of physique. The result is frail but wise and cute.

Survivors A new designation for an old brand, these are actually normal humans with balanced characteristics. The adaptive nature of the basic human form was considered by some to be worth preserving. A minority in the Imperium can be said to revere the old human genotype, though the majority tend to treat them with disdain. When the Imperium began conquering Earth and Colonial colonies, most were classified as this.

Genotypes

Old Megalith Order

The Genotypes of the Zenith project started by the Megalith Corporation eventually expand to become an entire caste system of genetically engineered and artificially created humans.

Cohort Alpha

The first generation created in secret by the Megalith Corporation.

Genotype Gemini

The original genetic experiments produced a batch of children with unusual characteristics but who were more or less otherwise normal humans. This involved basic gene therapy treatments, strand purification and subject conditioning of natural humans.

Genotype Echelon

The original artificially birthed human, Adam.

Genotype Perfect (P1)

The original Evelyn genetically engineered to lead.

Cohort Beta

The second generation of genetically enhanced naturally born humans, these had more controls implemented and were less social.

Genotype Aurora

Further gene therapy treatments, direct strand modification and subject conditioning of natural humans.

Genotype Indigo

High level drug therapy, use of special ionized radiation therapy, artificial insemination.

Genotype Perfect (P2)

Modified Evelyn, light therapy, subjects were genetically pre-engineered via parent selection breeding program from Gemini cohort.

Genotype Zero

Second generation variant of Adam.

New Zenith Order

There are twenty four recognized genotypes in the modern Zenith Imperium classification system. All genotypes also have a model number.

Cohort Genesis

At this point the Megalith Corporation changed strategies and using the research completed from the previous studies took the results public, producing the first batch of stable artificial humans. The previous cohorts were abandoned, and the first true generation according to Zenith Imperial history began.

Genotype Alpha

Genetically engineered to be superior in every way, these genotypes are highly intelligent, attractive and powerful. They would become the leading caste of the Imperium.

Genotype Beta Genetically engineered to be tough and strong, the original strain were essentially brute humans who were effective combatants. Overtime this strain was gradually developed into the Imperium’s elite military fighters, standing seven feet tall, with massive musculature, and abnormally thick skin. Considered about as intelligent as a basic human. The first genotype to be intentionally abnormal in terms of physical features, they are unable to perform natural birth due to infant size.

Genotype Gamma

A uniquely designed series of humanoids whose cranial capacity was stretched considerably in the hopes of maximizing brain size. They have especially large heads and eyes, childish body proportions and somewhat resemble a cartoon character. Exceedingly intelligent caste and surprisingly cute. Cannot be naturally birthed.

Genotype Delta

Created to survive better in space environments, these abhumans are scrawny and have somewhat larger heads than normal. They cannot reproduce either.

Genotype Epsilon

A new designation for an old brand, these are actually normal humans. The adaptive nature of the basic human form was considered by some to be worth preserving. A minority in the Imperium can be said to revere the old human genotype, though the majority tend to treat them with disdain. When the Imperium began conquering Earth and Colonial colonies, most survivors were classified as this.

Genotype Zeta

Cohort Exodus These variants were developed during the exodus from Earth forced by the defeat of the Consortium.

Genotype Eta

Genotype Theta

Genotype Iota

Genotype Kappa

Genetically engineered as below average intelligence servants, they are submissive and diligent workers.

Genotype Lambda

Genotype Mu

The first mixed breed genotype. Used animal DNA to acquire more docile and submissive characteristics. Generally considered a pet caste, serving as willing slaves and sex kittens, literally. An urban legend in the Imperium is that they were created to sate the appetites of Genotype Beta soldiers

Cohort Angelus

Created post-colony to meet the needs of the new order.

Genotype Nu

Genotype Xi

Genotype Omicron

Genotype Pi

Genotype Rho

Genotype Sigma

Engineered for maximum cranial capacity, they are extraordinarily intelligent, if little else.

Cohort Invictus

Created during the wars before reunification.

Genotype Tau

A significant modification of Beta, creating a giant of a human designed for combat and service in exceedingly harsh environments.

Genotype Upsilon

Genotype Phi

Genotype Chi

Genotype Psi

An attempt to create humans with extrasensory perception, the outcome of these experiments remain classified.

Genotype Omega

While the cult of superhumanity dominated the Imperium, some felt that humanity was not a very desirable trait, and that engineering should attempt to create an entirely new, superior species of intelligent life. The various Genotype Omegas are efforts to do just that. They can be considered superior Alphas, or abominations, depending on who you ask.

Personatypes

In addition to the main genotypes, there are subtypes which are meant to correspond to particular personality traits that have been engineered. Any of the genotypes can have these features to some degree or another.
