Hero-II Program

On December 17th, 2401, the Insurrection leaders met at a black-site in the outer edge of the solar system, to discuss ways to turn the losing war around. Many ideas were brought up and dismissed, until Catherine Halls brought up reviving the Hero Program, a military project from 50 years prior that had seen mixed success. Her ideas were controversial, but eventually were accepted the the Admiralty board.

Six years later, 400 children across the Sol system were kidnapped covertly from there parents, all ages 4-7, and trained at a black-site in the Kaiper Belt. At the onset of puberty all children were augmented in various ways to increase their strength, agility, endurance and mental acuity. They were also given some experimental modifications to allow them to adapt and exist in various hostile environments.

Half of the first class of Hero-IIs didn't accept the Augmentation process, with approximately 100 children dying, and the other 100 in various states of physical deformity. While some of the less severely deformed children went on to work in various positions, most ended up being placed back into cryostasis until a time when they can be rehabilitated and retrained.

Pay grade of Hero: 10 gold per day, including days off, or 300 gold per month, paid on the last day of every month.
