> This has been done in various hard science fiction novels. One series, the name escapes me at the moment, actually has one group of engineered human warriors that are quite different mentally from normal humans but they can survive in vacuum and have some insect-like traits physically. They can just drift through vacuum and quietly attach to the hull of an enemy ship.
Pretty sure this was in some book in the Old Man's War series
- ryanmercer 7y agoLooks like you are right, 'homo astrum'. https://oldmanswar.fandom.com/wiki/Homo_Astrum https://oldmanswar.fandom.com/wiki/Homo_Astrum I read entirely too much hard science fiction to remember what comes from where, it's why as much as I'd love to I'll never write a space opera. I'd constantly be afraid I was unintentionally plagiarizing multiple authors.
