A long-term genetic engineering and colonization project supported by many institutions of the Third Imperium. It produced the Variant Human Race known as Jonkeereen.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The project's goal was the creation of a Human subspecies perfectly suited to life in a hostile desert environment. Begun five centuries ago, the project has proven successful: over 400 million enhanced Humans inhabit Jonkeer, and millions more live on desert planets throughout the Domain of Deneb and beyond.
The Jonkeereen Project began in 528, and in 600 the first three generations of Jonkeereen arrived on Jonkeer, requiring little support. In 700 the Ministry of Colonization began transplanting Jonkeereen to desert worlds throughout the Domain of Deneb.
One of the original goals of the project, as sold to the Imperium, was to undercut the Suerrat following the Ilelish Revolt by "outcompeting" them for the unappealing desert worlds they were adapting for colonization.
It is likely that some of the genetic inspiration for the Jonkeereen Project came from the Irhadre and the Tekundu, two Human Minor Races adapted to desert conditions (but nowhere near as perfectly or to such an extreme as achieved with the Jonkeereen).
