Pallas Eugenesis was a genetically-engineered super-being who swore loyalty to the Imperium toward the end of the Unification Wars.
Early Life
To many of Luna's gene-wrights, Pallas Eugenesis was the pinnacle of their art. She embodied centuries of experimentation. As she matured, many of the gene-cultists pledged their lives to Pallas Eugenesis, seeing her as a living goddess. However, fractious Luna could not be united peacefully, and the Eclipse Queen (as she would be styled) would spend decades leading her armies against rival cults.
The stalemate broke with the emergence of the Emperor of Mankind as the unifier of Terra. Luna's warring factions did not mistake the implications: once the Emperor had finished on earth, he meant to claim the rest of the Solar System one way or another. In response, the Lunans set aside their differences and allied against the off-worlder. Initially, however, the Emperor sent only envoys, seeking to make a pact with Luna in the name of uniting the human race. Like the other gene-lords, Pallas Eugenesis rejected subordination to the Terran upstart. However, she was intrigued by an off-hand mention of the Emperor's genetically-created son and general, Hektor Cincinnatus.
Dispatching one of her agents to Terra was not easy, but Pallas was accustomed to having her will served. Eventually, Hektor received a message from the Eclipse Queen signalling her willingness to negotiate with him personally.
