Schwartz Bio Genetics did not only try to create the “ultimate soldier” and the “perfect worker” but their core project was to create Smarter Humans with Psionic Talents. After the Sarans landed on Earth bringing not only Faster than Light technology to Earth but also the knowledge and the fact that Psionics were quite real and an enormous power. SII created hundreds of (later destroyed) failed Living experiments as there was simply no Earth life form that could be spliced into a human gene to gain Psionic powers. The Gene groups responsible for brain capacity and intelligence on the other hand appeared to have a limit. While “smarter” or more intelligent beings could be created, they lacked all other skills and were almost all affected by neurological problems and diseases. It is believed (but of course denied by SII) that they managed to capture a Urilliua (long before they became Union Members. Some say SII purchased the Urilliuan on a slave market)  and were able to splice Urilliuan genes into a successful Clone species known as the Brainers. The Brainers were genetically programmed to be utmost loyal to SII and received work contracts and were treated like kings. After the Clone Revolt, the Brainers received official independence and were declared an individual species. Even though the SII loyalty programming is removed, Brainers are thankful for their creation and most of them work exclusively for SII. ( It is believed SII has a group very similar to the PSI corps, staffed almost exclusively with Brainers) The President of SII Gal-Spinward Section is a Brainer and a close associate to Rex Schwartz. He is also considered the leader of the Brainer Society. A few Brainers serve in the Union Fleet and in the PSI Corps. No Brainer was ever measured below a HPI of 3000 and the average is about 5000 HPI. The average IQ is at about 250-300. Due to their Psionics and high IQ, carnal activities are considered primitive and thus the race is growing only slowly. Arti-Wombs and artificial reproduction is preferred. Since Cloning is no longer permitted, a slight decline of the Brainers abilities has been observed over the years and it is believed they will become less Psi talented and somewhat less intelligent over time. Brainers occupy the planet Cerebellum in the Lamax System (Upward) and are Union Members, There are about 15 Million individuals associated to the Brainer species. Most Brainers are loners and prefer their solitude. Social interaction with others is often limited to Avatar presence. Their Culture is dominated by scholastic pursuits and often described as extremely dull.
