So one thing I wanted to figure out was how the Star Army handles mental health of its troops, both in practice and in theory. For the sake of fairness, while Yamatai may be the focus, I'd be interested in hearing other factions feedback.
As Yamatai is fairly progressive and tries to treat its mass-produced killing machines as people, I do agree with Wes that it'd be more than likely severe issues (ex. soldiers with suicidal thoughts) would at the least be taken off active duty, if not removed entirely. Put them out of harms way and where they can get treatment.
Because of the nature of Neko and the... strange circumstances of their context, though, I figure that'd throw us some curveballs that don't necessarily exist IRL.
For example, Neko are made to consider their military service a core of their personality. Sure, they might be straining under the pressure but removing them from that might actually hurt them more. They'd be rudderless, with no way of proving their worth.
