Five years later, the physical condition of the Interstellar Warrior will be mostly mature, and a new Genetic Seed will be generated in their body, ready for harvesting to develop the next recruit; the second seed matures in ten years, but must be retrieved after the warrior's death.
Each Interstellar Warrior can only produce these two seeds in their lifetime. This means that Genetic Seeds are incredibly precious.
Relying solely on the fifty seeds at hand, even in the most ideal situation, it would take a hundred years to rebuild the Battle Group to its peak strength of a thousand warriors.
Furthermore, such an ideal situation is simply impossible. Not to mention, the Battle Group has to pay a Genetic Seed tax, with 5% of newly acquired seeds needing to be surrendered to the Empire.
Moreover, the failure rate of genetic surgeries and the delay in recovering seeds after a warrior's death will also result in losses.
