Cybernetic Enhancements
The Hyperion Federation, being made of so many different alien species that each evolved in extremely different environments, needed a way to make such diverse environments survivable to any race. Significant factors that need to be corrected include:
Atmosphere composition and density
Temperature and how widely it varies
Surface gravitation
Matter manipulating nanobots, similar to those used in Replicators, can be used to easily and painlessly construct these cybernetic enhancements within ones' body.
Temperature can be varied by using QEN heat vents.
Gravity can be made significantly less harmful through the use of strong materials added to the bones.
The atmosphere can be made breathable by replacing the biological function of the lungs with nanobots; the nanobots will oxygenate the blood. It is well known that cybernetics can also enhance one's body beyond survival, but this capability has been largely limited by the Hyperion Ethics Committee for a similar reason to banning genetic engineering of sentient beings. The ability go gain so much ability very easily could result in a caste system which the Hyperion Federation doesnt want to become. When it is done to a significant enough degree, this, too, can blur the line between machine and organism. The potential for something to go wrong was too great to ignore. If someone managed to hack into someone elses cybernetics, the result is bound to be disastrous. The person would likely have to fight for control of their body. The HF has placed great importance in keeping this technology very secure and safe in order to prevent deaths caused by this. The protocols are updated nearly daily depending on the planet in question. As they can make one stronger, they can cause HF infantry to reposition faster than that of other factions. This is an important strategic advantage especially when the HF is normally few on numbers and have this requirement. The strong strength also allows them to remove obstacles and take weapon recoil easier and allow greater weapon accuracy. In some rare cases, a shield generator might be equipped but thats very rare due to ethics committee resrictions.
