Rejuve Technology

Rejuve Technology is the culmination and understanding of three technologies found as a result of early space travel during the 21st and 22nd century. The result of the technology is the ability to physically regress an individual to the age of a child.

Timeline
[Late 21st Century] Discovery of chronostatic radiation and the star drive. The forerunners were located all through this section of the galaxy some 4.5 million years ago; they developed the original rejuvenation technology;

[ Early 22nd century] Discovery several functional rejuvenation chambers on a planet orbiting Tau Ceti. The first human experiments take place about 4 years later, using conviced criminals. After about 30 years, chambers can be reproduced by an exact-copy process, although the software and function is still a mystery.

[2147]: Discovery of the Drakonians. Friendly relations established. They begin assisting the human race in improving our Star Drive technology and working on the rejuvenation chambers.

What is Rejuve Technology
Rejuve Technology is the result of three important discoveries.
 * Chronostatic Radiation
 * Rejuvenation chambers
 * The Melvin Feinburg DNA processing technique.

Originally not understood, rejuve technology uses a series of radiating crystals, data storage and several new substances to generate Chroniton Radiation. Chroniton Radiation seams to effect the flow of time within the localised capsule causing cell regeneration. In large amounts the radiation can be dangerous but and until Feinburg's discoveries was unreliable, not even being understood by the Draconians who have been working with the technology.

Benifits and Limitations
With the parts of the machinery being named after the scientists working on the devices many medical revolutions have resulted from it's presence. Rejuve technology can:
 * Restore lost limbs and heal all injuries
 * Reverse the effects of genetic diseases such as cancer
 * Cure STD's and destroy parasites and viruses
 * Cleanse most forms of radiation from the body
 * Extend life almost indefinitely

On the reverse side however they have some pretty serious limitations.
 * The oldest a person can be rejuvenated to is 12.
 * This is a result of physical memory space and the inability to process changes that occur during puberty.


 * Each rejuve at the least takes off exactly 2 yrs 9 months 7 days
 * Believed to be cause of inability to make the radiation dose smaller.


 * The youngest a person can become is 3 years
 * This is because serious brain brain damage has been known to occur at younger ages.


 * Spontanious transformation to female.
 * The technology was never designed to handle unpaired chromosomes like in human males, or Drakonian females. A technique was developed to decrease the chance of this happening but one in 1000 males sometimes become female. The process is now reversable.

And finally
 * Rejuvenation is a one way process. The only way to become older again is to grow older naturally.

Emergency Rejuvination
As previously stated, the ability of the rejuvenation chamber to heal any injury and deal with most medical problems has been a great benefit to the world of medicine, however the limitations and consequences of rejuvenation make it a severe form of treatment. Able to solve the medical problem it almost always uproots the rejuve from their life and is only used as a last resort. Still, despite the limitations and consequences the presence of the chambers has reduced world wide death rate to less than 10%.

Genetic Suppression and Insertion
Just as the machine is capable of nutralizing unpaired chromosones to turn somebody female it is also capable of inserting the Y chromosone onto somebody even if Female was their original gender. This ability to arbitrarily swap an individuals gender is called Repression and Insertion and is a common tool when dealing with violent crimes or sexual crimes, but the genetic manipulation can also be used to solve genetic disorders, remove damaged DNA and solve hundreds of genetic medical conditions.
