[quote=@Isotope] [@GreivousKhan] I'm cool with there being gene lock tech and it being important, but i don't think the Emperor can't control warp tech because of the civilian market. There's no way a noble head or royal is there to activate every new commercial vessel. Also selfish because I'm not technically a noble house :p It's going to be a plot point. [/quote] I meant more war vessels and not every trading ship out there. Which why I mentioned starbases and not starports. In fact, I'd go so far as to say they'd only need to do so with the command decks of Imperial capital ships, and skip smaller vessels like corvets and destroyers altogether. Anyway, I'm glad there are at least people open to the idea since I'm growing quite fond of it myself. Mind you this is all up to the GM in the end, but the idea of there being a gene-locked caste system for the aristocracy is so interesting I might use this idea myself some time down the line. I also mostly had this in mind for the Cataphracts (mobile walkers/engines of war: Think titan fall) idea I have that lines up with this. But first things first. ALSO WHY I'M I BLUUUUUUUE!? :p
