Several places.

But basically unlike the empyreans which are genetically tested for and trained for anyone can become an elysian.

Just the technology cannot be trusted to anyone however and there is quite a bit given up for the immortality so most subjects are tested phsycologically, then the training for the soldiers is very intense, involves quite a bit of dying.

The best crops for the dust soldiers are ex-patriots, prior military, best of the special forces and many more sources where the individual would be already used to the all the fighting.

you getting this off the baloc short stories?

those were SO dark.

seriously, why is this game not rated "M"? the eve universe is one of the most dark and twisted game universes out there, and this game has actual bodies to make go splat! Twisted

Have you read any eve online stories? they're form the same universe.

yes i have, and they are ALL dark.

inferno (how the MJD came to be) was REALLY twisted

Google failed me Empyrean is what the capsuleers are called by the amarrians, since we're of not the same cloth as so eggers but not to be left behind i found Elysian to be a good similar tem to adopt on the same manner. Now if we can only figure a word far more suitable than mercenary as there are plenty of not so immortal mercenaries in New Eden.
Nova Knife Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 853	Posted - 2013.04.21 17:32:00 - [5] - Quote Stranded This storyline is pretty sweet, 8 part story on dust514.com that sort of gives the backstory of Balac (whom you may know as the guy your awesome assault rifles are named after) and how he becomes a clone soldier. The book "Templar One" is also pretty good at the general explanation behind the tech and the first soldiers to get it.

(dusters to clean up the grounds... haha get it) Thanks Nova for the info

Going to poke CCP Eterne when I run into him about it. The book is official and its a good read.

I'd also suggest nephilim, it doesn't sound as good, but i think it fits better.
