The Bye-Ren of Bye-Ren-Ay are a technologically sophisticated Human Ethnic Group.
Description (Specifications)
The Bye-Ren are an ethnic group most noted for their origin in the hellish crush of a continuous 2-G gravity well, producing immense strength and resilience.
Physiology and ecology
Heredity and extensive super-calcification treatments have produced extreme bone density. However, their human heritage combined with their crushed and wrinkled appearance tend to disturb more traditional members of Humaniti. Bye-Ren adapt easily to lower gravities, but their short legs often cause trouble in keeping up with their taller kin. Their super-rugged metabolism tends to "wear out" sooner than other humans', even in normal gravity, and the high blood pressure needed in their home environment causes significant bleeding problems. However, their human heritage combined with their crushed and wrinkled appearance tends to disturb more traditional members of Humaniti.

The Bye-Ben are the survivors of a mining expedition abandoned at the end of the First Imperium. Bye-Ren are extreme in their regard for personal loyalty and refusals to abandon either responsibilities or comrades, and in holding both friendship and enmity for life.
