 Standardized in AR 863, [[Altjira Biomedical]] was commissioned to produce low-impact physical enhancements for the [[Astral Vanguard]]. With the impending threat of sterility from overly invasive or radical physical and genetic modification to the body, the primary concerns of this series of baseline enhancements were to improve the basic functionality of the being without leaving too strong of a genetic footprint. Worries that it might result in a race of superhuman beings who would usurp sections of society were secondary, but addressed. All of the enhancements were designed to be recessive and would fall away within no less than two generations, and would see immediate decay within the first generation of offspring, with most traits being entirely removed or vastly reduced in effect.  Standardized in AR 863, [[Altjira Biomedical]] was commissioned to produce low-impact physical enhancements for the [[Astral Vanguard]].

-It is for this reason that bioenhancement [[Iromakuanhe:Culture#Transhumanism|Purists]] within the military are the least likely to seek relationships with their cohorts, and prefer to avoid perpetuating even the limited alterations to their bodies onto another generation. Of course, with the rise of gene therapy and advanced reproductive technologies, the issue itself is moot. A military couple wishing to produce normal or less radically altered children are never at a impasse to find options to do so.+It is for this reason that bioenhancement [[faction:iromakuanhe:culture#Transhumanism|Purists]] within the military are the least likely to seek relationships with their cohorts, and prefer to avoid perpetuating even the limited alterations to their bodies onto another generation.

-The somatic enhancements given to the Vanguard's infantry might seem extreme, but are structured largely for the purposes of survivability. Surface tissues are laced with radiation, heat and impact resistant fibers that disperse or deflect these sources of harm, while also improving the body's ability to resist tearing and lacerations. Skeletal and muscular tissues are greatly densened and reinforced in order to compensate for the naturally weak physical aptitudes of most [[people]], allowing for three to four times the lifting power from baseline bodies. They otherwise receive augmented senses, though only to the peak of baseline ability.+The somatic enhancements given to the Vanguard's infantry might seem extreme, but are structured largely for the purposes of survivability.
