![Mutations and ‘Plasmids’
Minor (Does not increase Min Stress).
(less obvious, usually unnoticed without physical exam or genetic testing).
Mutation Cost
(as Plasmid) Effects
1 Animal Reflexes 250 KCR Add Min Stress to Combat, [+] if melee only.
2 Eidetic Neurology 300 KCR Add Min Stress to Intellect or San, [-] to forget anything.
3 Compact Musculature 400 KCR Add Min Stress to Strength, +1 wound, deceptively strong.
4 Animal Senses 250 KCR Add Min Stress to Speed, [+] checks relying on your physical senses.

6 Enhanced Immune System 300 KCR Add Min Stress to Body, [+] to resist pathogens, parasites and other infections.
7 Megasophogus 300 KCR Add Min Stress to Body. Derive nutrients from less calorie dense available sources (plant leaves, raw meat, toothpaste, dirt).
8 Hypermetabolism 400 KCR Add Min Stress to Body. [+] Body saves against poison or drugs.
Heal, recover from sickness, radiation, thirst, starvation, O2 loss much faster.
9 Animal Physiology 500 KCR Add Min Stress to Health, +1 wound.
10 Stable Genetics 1 MCR Add Min Stress to to Body [+] on Body Saves relating to Mutation/Plasmids.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d5wsn5lfwzmn7jef5ltx2ogt/bafkreidigoofycowbebw2l6xskzfdzp6cf2gthbaisri3eicpvfq5uyldq)
![Xenomutations (+2 Minimum Stress and get hunted by stellar governments and megacorps).
(Utterly alien, terrible to behold, only obtained through ‘close encounters’).
Mutation Effects
1
Crystalline Neurology Cranium expands, skin and bone around skull become transparent as brain becomes a crystalline structure that works to Alien means.
Gain 2 Psionic Abilities Mastered and the Hyperspace Skill.
2
Hivesense Strange cluster of pheromone producing glands and sensory receptors that replaces a sense organ (e.g. eyes become atrophied, eventually heal over).
Allows you to infiltrate the environments of some Hivemind organisms without them detecting you, see through their senses and communicate (if you dare).
3.
‘Hand of God’ One limb becomes a grotesque mass of bioluminescent tentacles.
Three times per day gain 2 Stress to heal a wound in 1 minute.
If you use this on another creature, they also gain 2 Stress.
4
Void Shell
Grows from the spine and eventually forms a carapace with a fluid layer that covers the whole body including the head. You can see through it.
Can be peeled off (painful!) if destroyed regenerates in D10 Weeks.
Functions as Voidsuit, [+] on Strength, can trim to ‘grow’ around cyberware and be compatible with other tech (inc. Alien tech).
5
Xenocompatabilty
Gain new speciality organs for securing, storing and implanting Alien and Human DNA for future use, more easily ‘integrate’ with Biotech.
Future Xenomutations only add +1 Min Stress.
6
‘Hollow Body’ Bones Atrophy and become fluid filled bladders adapted for low gravity environments.
-20 to Strength, Gain 2 Levels of Radiation Resistance, [+] on all Zero G tests.
7
Polyglottic Tongue Allows you to verbally communicate and replicate sounds and ‘speech’ from non-human physiology.
Verbally communicating with Humans causes them Stress +1.
8

Siriusian Starbison (Xeno Bison Sirius)
The first large scale project of xeno-tranplantation with old Earth stock and the Surian Staurox. Hardy, versatile, a pioneer species and the backbone of the Surrian settler colonial project, the most sought for late terraforming.

Honetyger (Xeno Tigris Mellarius)
Whoever said “Man is the Most Dangerous Game” never hunted a Honeytyger. These things are smart to the point of laying traps and displaying tool use, and have developed a taste for Hyperbee honey.

![Hanger Bats (Chiroptera Stellari)
Vampire bats attached to cattle that made their homes in the hangers of larger ships and adapted to Zero G. Starved Colonies enter torpor until prey is detected. Calls disrupt comms but their guano is a potent fertiliser.

Radical Roaches (Blattaria Stellari)
Cockroaches that have formed a symbiosis with a strain of radiotropic bacteria, swarms are often an indicator of higher than average background radiation. Will infiltrate, damage and destroy ship systems over time.

Enigmice (Mus Dexter Stellari)
Descended from escaped laboratory mice (and rats) who were subject to Megacorporate experimentation. Ordinary mice by all accounts, till tools go missing and there are unexplained power drains in the ship...
C:11 Bite, Lt. Bleeding -P I88 W:1 S: Technopath Psionic allows them to manipulate ship systems and build their own (tiny) Enigmatic Tech. On interacting 1% ‘Make Contact’, San Save to hear them speak.
