The Aristocrat is desperate, this could be the perfect opportunity to regain some resources to the colonies. But then again, you think, if you're trying to research innovations based on material scarcity, then perhaps refilling the gauges is not in your best interest after all. Instead, you get an idea. You tell the colony administrator to ask for technology instead.
Unlike the Esaal and Consortium, who are a bit less protective of their own technologies, the Aristocrats are driven to jealousy and protect their advanced bio-tech. Still, he seems desperate enough. For a supply of anti-matter and some information on how to create it, though you still believe they lack the means, you manage to convince the Aristocrat to share some bio-technological information. He presents you with an Embryo Databank, which contains all sorts of information similar to a genetic soup. Cross referencing this with your massive databanks for the now extinct Hazaar subspecies and their methods of crossbreeding with other races and... wow. This is a lot.
<span class="mu-r">"Biological weapons you say? Good, good. Take. Serfs, grab the Antimatter. Let's go."</span>
You wouldn't say you were tricked, moreso you couldn't tell exactly what you would get until after you got it. While you may have been expecting something like the White & Black spores, the Aristocrat granted you the genetic material to instead invent <span class="mu-s">several mutations</span> that can be implanted into the Hegemonic Races DNA sequences.
For the <span class="mu-s">Jaxtians</span>, who are already enhanced with alien DNA, this material allowed you to unlock certain genes relating to anger, aggression, and the flight-or-flight reaction to enter into a sort of enraged state. Growing physically larger and stronger with a side effect of hair standing on end, your Jaxtians will become stronger and more aggressive in truly desperate situations. Strangely, this mutation also includes the ability to grow claws from the tips of your fingers; the sharp points being unlike anything else in Jaxtian evolution.
The <span class="mu-s">Vetuckers</span> have also gained a new mutation, namely being extremely strong plates of calcium and ingested heavy minerals that grow rapidly when threatened or as repairs from injury. On top of this, extra muscle-skeletal control and pain resistance has made them even more tough.
Finally, as for the <span class="mu-s">Swall</span>, a mutation also awaits them... but a small social problem remains. Despite their loyalty to the Supreme Ruler, as anyone else within the Hegemony, Swall women are regarding this as an overreach and too much. Almost all of them are denying and outright refusing to have their children or their eggs enhanced with these combat mutations. This is because of the high degree of protection they have for their offspring. You suppose forcing them to be injected for the future of their species, and the Hegemony at large, wouldn't be too big of an ask; but the Swall population would certainly be upset at this regardless...
