Homo Nobilis Stellaris - The Sanujab

Origins

Neurology and Reflexes
- Reflexes and neural processing are about 2.5 times faster than a baseline human, enabling them to react and learn extremely quickly, especially in complex, multi-channel environments like combat, piloting, or negotiating with alien systems. Dense nerve bundles and optimized myelination give them extremely low latency; they are superb pilots, close-quarters fighters, and multi-taskers.
Strength and Build
- They are roughly 1.5 times stronger than human norms due to denser muscle fiber and careful skeletal reinforcement without excessive bulk. Their physique tends toward lithe and lanky, with a slightly lower body mass index for a given height compared to humans but higher power-to-weight ratio.
Height and Sexual Dimorphism
- Males are usually taller than average human males, often around the upper end of human height or slightly beyond.
- Females cluster around the upper human norm, giving the population an overall slightly-taller-than-human average without making them towering giants.

Skin
- Shades ranging from pale white through silver to soft grey tones, sometimes with faint, metallic sheens under certain light due to embedded nano-interfaces and vascular pigments.
Eyes
- Striking colors consisting of red, violet, and deep dark blue almost verging on black—with subtle luminescent flecks when interfacing with systems or experiencing intense emotion.
Hair
- Various shades of blue varying from light to dark.

Anatomy
- Their reproductive anatomy is structurally compatible with humans; basic sexual anatomy is unchanged, intentionally preserved to reduce unforeseen complexities. Fertility windows and reproductive endocrinology are extended, allowing viable reproduction over many centuries, though cultural norms may strongly regulate how often and with whom they reproduce.
Gestation
- Gestation is slightly longer than humans at about ten months, reflecting more complex developmental processes and early-stage interface system formation. Prenatal care is deeply monitored, often involving interface diagnostics to ensure proper growth of neural and lymphatic smart-fluid systems.

Baseline Diet
- Like humanity they are omnivorous but with a tendency toward preferring higher protein high in iron diets due to their specialized bio-mechanical psychology. Their immunological sophistication allows them to handle a broader range of alien biochemistries, but they may metabolize certain toxics and heavy metals differently, making some human junk food surprisingly intoxicating.
Preferences
- Overtime with exposure to various human cuisines both pure-blood Sanujab and hybrids have trended toward high-protein, micro nutrient rich diets to support their nervous systems. Some interests have even begun to toy with biotech-derived foods that interface with their internal systems, mildly tuning mood or enhancing perception in controlled ways.

Comfortable in most human standard environments of around earth norms; however they can tolerate lower oxygen conditions and mild to moderate radiation environments without discomfort due to their repair-focused immunology and interface-mediated cellular maintenance.

Development
- Childhood and adolescence mirror human development, fostering relatability and flexibility, at around 23–24 their aging curve flattens dramatically; they look like they are in their prime for centuries.
Lifespan
- Functionally immortal with an average estimated lifespan of around 1,000 years due to their society having not reached that milestone yet, it's theorized that they could live even longer through available biotech and careful management.
