History and Background

Rommel: a mildly authoritarian, strongly discriminatory ‘near–future’ society, the Rommelnan are driven by the desire to become genetically flawless men.

Rommel is a Solomani eugenic settlement, where the locals focus on the improvement of the Race. Its’ focus on genetic science makes it a minor scientific center in Gamma Quadrant.

Non-humans are broadly rejected here, but Vilani - if they are willing to accept genetic changes to their children - are welcome, and often are quite happy in the well-ordered society.

Rommel was originally the home of a failed Parsee colony, named Namabhai. It was resettled by a Solomani eugenically-minded culture in waves, from 214 to 264 Imperial. The system soon became a reliable provider of genetically-engineered food and pets.

Most of Rommelnen society is as formal, straight–laced and conformist as you please: it’s hard to find a good drinking establishment open in ‘daylight’ (i.e. work) hours. Most of the Rommelnen within Tor Forscher are part of the planetary upper classes, called the Betters, Übermensch, ‘Proper men’ or ‘Bottleborn’: products of genetic engineering, they tend to be physically flawless and fairly smart, but also unimaginative, fixated on routine, and rather arrogant to naturally–conceived humaniti, Solomani or otherwise.

The eugenically-inclined Solomani of Rommel follow an ideology of genetic perfection, with the desire to breed Better Men who will embody the very best of the Solomani Race. Unlike many who follow this ideology, they are willing to welcome Vilani who are willing to have their children altered in vitro to fit the Pure Solomani genetic profile. This scientific cult is willing to tolerate supernatural religions, so long as it doesn’t interfere with Racial Perfection.
