Night-Hawks

Night-Hawks

One of the 41 Gene Clone Species of the Bionic Age of United Earth.

The Night Hawks are a separate story, as they were vounteers of a group of people that wanted to be genetically altered and engineerd to become "god like birds". The group worshipped Horus an ancient egyptian god that was also worshipped by the Sarans.

In a hidden chamber deep beneath the Sphinx, aerchologist discovered the mummified remains of a strange bird human hybrid with large wings.[3] The Sarans consulted knew about a legend of their own where Horus himself transformed several of his most devout followers into Horus men.

An eccentric billionaire of Egypt [1] contracted a Bio lab to re create these Bird men by using volunteers and the recovered DNA of the mummified bird man. The result was just as the mummified remains a strange hawk bird human amalgam.

The Night Hawks (20,000) left Earth before the Gene Clone revolts aboard a Saran ship ( purchased by the group)

and have been forgotten more or less until they were re discovered in 3002 (OTT) making them the last Gene Clone species joining.

The NH colonized a gardenworld [2] in the Spinward sector and developed their own TL 4 society. Deeply devout to Horus and a very religious society led by High Priests. The NH society is feudalistic in nature with barons, nobles etc.

The Non winged humans that have left with them treated like serfs. That has changed somewhat and the non winged humans (indistinguishable from other Homo Galactus) are now able to go to Union School and leave (which many do)

There are about 4 million Night Hawks as of the last Union Census and many serve in the fleet but only as officers. If they fail the Academy entry process, they pursue other careers but never enlist.

Night Hawks are seen as arogant as Thaurans but are very duty oriented. They eat raw meat and occationally live mice.
