Imperial Biotechnical Division

The Imperial Biotechnical Division is a scientific research group formed during the early years of The Stellar Imperium that was formed upon Old Terra during the early years of the Terran Unification Wars of the late 87th and 90th Millennia by the Emperor of Man. Many of its laboratories were located deep beneath what later became the Imperial Grand Palace complex in the Kilaminjanto (Kilamanjaro) Mountains.
The skilled scientists and bioengineers of the Imperial Biotechnical Division were tasked by the Emperor with carrying out the Prometheus Project and its subsequent branch off of Project Daedalus, of which created The I'cartes Regiments, the later Imperial Marine Legions, and The Luminarchs.
The first director of the Imperial Biotechnical Division is the famed Terran-Borne geneticist; Dr. Ino Polerion Nysa, famed as a good friend, confidant and advisor of the Emperor before his ascent to Godhood.
