- If you are going to write an augmented character, please be sensitive to the real-world issues surrounding genetic modification and eugenics. Please discuss your idea with the admins first; character ideas will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
- Augmentation is banned in the Federation. Any character who has been augmented must have been done so as a child, and as such, the choice was not their fault. Any adult who has consented to augmentation would have made an illegal choice. Any character who conducts genetic modification on their own children would also not be allowed to serve in Starfleet.
- If you are writing a character who has been augmented then please include details on exactly what their enhancements are.
- Please ensure that any augmentation is not too overpowered and that it would fit the narrative. For example, Illyrians modify themselves instead of changing the planets they've settled on; so if they settled on a desert planet then a character may have been genetically engineered to be more resistant to extreme temperatures.
- This species is not a member of the Federation. In order for a character of this species to apply to Starfleet Academy, they will have required a letter of recommendation from a Starfleet officer ranked Commander or higher.
