Vaeu Genetic Recovery Board

Having been heavily modified by the precursors in order to be more effective soldiers, the vaeu learned soon after the war that their modifications had left them with quite a few defects. More reliant on the resonance than any other species on Yaphenna, the vaeu are most susceptible to the effects of resonance deficiency sickness, and as a result, are very limited to what altitude they can travel to without support, as the resonance is much weaker at higher elevations. On top of the resonance dependence, many vaeu are plagued by the effects of numerous other genetically recurring ailments. To help combat these problems, and rebuild themselves to better health as a species, the vaeu discussed several options as better medical technologies became available. Some techniques would prove successful at weeding out the damaged code from their DAN, but with very diminishing results. After much consideration, it was decided that the vaeu would create a team of medical professionals specifically trained to analyze the genetic profile of as many vaeu as possible with each passing generation. They would then recommend parings between individuals that had the best chance of producing healthy offspring. For vaeu found to have extremely hazardous genes that could pass on debilitating disease, the VGRB would recommend that those individuals avoid reproduction.

Following this recommendation was always completely optional, but considering how dire the situation could be, most vaeu accepted the advice they were given.

For optimal pairings, the VGRB would also assess the recessive and dominant genes that could be passed on by male and female parents of a newborn vaeu, and suggest which one of the two partners should carry the egg to term. Should a mated pair accept this suggestion, they could disable their pheromone inhibitors and transition to the needed sex if need be.
