Imanity

Name:  Imanity
Faction:  Imperial Union Of Planets 
Notes:  Perhaps the most numerical of the human Ixseeds descended from Zetan experiments, Imanity are externally almost indistinguishable from most other strains of humankind.  The most obvious distinction is that Imanity are known to express a greater number of natural phenotypes - hair and eyes coming in colors and combinations of colors that others would need dyes to obtain otherwise.
Descending from a customized strain of humanity created by the Zetans for the expressed purpose of use as disposable organic plugins to boost their computers, modern day Imanity are known for their mental capabilities.  Overshadowed by others, like the Terrans, in terms of muscular potential, Imanity was forced to develop and rely on their ingenuity and creativity in order to survive in the chaos following the fall of the Zetan state.  A higher than average reproductive capacity and sheer volume created by the Zetans meant they were spread all over the various factions vying for power;  Imanity based factions either hid underground to avoid the fighting or worked behind the scenes to manipulate others.  Imanity was able to maneuver other players into places that would benefit them.  Though technically not officially active in this era of war, they were only able to survive as the bigger players fought around them through this game of chess and diplomacy.
Ironically, thanks to Zetan meddling, the Imanity race lacks certain components of their nervous system.  Though not necessary for life, the lack of these nerves render them an average of psionically neutral as a people;  though the introduction of genetics from other strains of humans and other compatible species has resulted in rare Imanity births in modern times that are regaining these nerves.  It is theorized that future generations might see a return of this part of the nervous system if continued trends continue.  Though the lack of this section of the nervous system renders Imanity incapable of psionic capabilities, it also can cause them to be immune to most other psionic uses against them.  
Staying neutral up until the foundation of the Imperial Union Of Planets, Imanity's leadership was hesitant at first about membership.  In the end, they agreed to a ten year trial period where their citizens would intermingle and try to blend.  Thankfully, the Union's population at large proved more than welcoming to the weary survivors of Imanity.
