Homo excelsior

The gamma strain, more appropriately called the gamma process, is a procedure by which a cellular-based body is completely replaced with a synthetic model, referred to in this case as homo excelsior. Some colloquially refer to such individuals as gammas.

While homo excelsior has clearly superior characteristics to homo supernus, even regarding the braincase, not everyone considers this to be worth the 'price' of the upgrade - namely, it is not capable of unassisted reproduction or regeneration. Many do opt to retain a form of panacea or supernus DNA to reproduce with, however, and female bodies are capable of carrying a child to term, but these.

Gamma construction also forms the basis of android and gynoid technology, and are in fact identical save for the origin of sapience.
