Sirfol Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Hi I was curious of the lifespan of the greener and corpus, for the greener with the genetic deterioration of their clones i wonder how much they live,like 20 years?40 and "generals" like vor,kela,sargas ruk they are a exception? in regard for corpus they have machinery to life sustain their needs and are in fever numbers so maybe they live longer? they have some sort of cryogenic technology that permit their life to be longer? and again the machinery they create have a lifespan too like a...battery? or they have some sort of eternal energy source that can make them "wake" even with a long time stanby? in regard of infestation, taking in account they need at least some "mass" to feed themselves if a derelict ship go in outer space without any unlucky guy entering in contact with it, how much time need to pass for a "infested ship" to be considered "cleaned" or at least the life form in there are al dead?

Redthirst Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 We don't know the exact lifespans, but Grineer don't live long naturally. More powerful Grineer can afford mechanical enhancements which can increase their lifespan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SineSole Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Darvo is 100+ years old and considered a teenager so there's that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyrakav Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 We don't know how long the Grineer live, but not very long likely, seeing as how they're clones and have degraded to all hell. As for the Corpus, yes they live quite a long time, Darvo is quoted as saying he's 100 y/o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowiespoon Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Grineer are said to live short, violent lives - however, the higher-ranking officers can extend these by replacing their failing organs and body parts with mechanical counterparts. Corpus live a very long time - darvo is 107 years old and considered young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenzinNinJa Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) As far as I've understood it, it goes something like this. Grineer: Their cloning tech is a bit wonky, and they usually don't live for more than a handfull of decades. I'm thinking 30-50 years. They do have the tech to augment themselves, and that increases the life span of guys like Vor and the other Grineer bosses. Corpus: The crewmnen we see and fight are bread for the job while the synthetic MOAs alongside them run on advanced, but limited, AI. Infested: The infestation infests both organic and inorganic material, so even if we kill all Chargers, Ancients, and whatnot, the metal of the ship will still be infested, and as such it'll never become truly clean. If you scan Cephalon Fragments in missions, you'll get bits of art with short lore texts. They also contain hidden audio logs, if you can find them.

Human enough to work, and synthetic enough to work efficiently. hmmmmm nay,.... naaay... That would be your headcanon. Nowhere does it say that the corpus or the crewmen are synthetic.- If it does, please correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)bddacres Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 The average Grineer lifespan is 40 years Corpus may be immortal as they have access to orokin secrets and Darvo's father is 300 years old which means he had Darvo when he was around 200yrs old. Also corpus reproduce through natural means as Darvo has both a mother and father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darvo is not 100 years old... he isn't 107 years old, He literally said "...I am almost 105 years old.." That could mean that he is 104 years old or younger, in case 105 is a "special" age to reach in corpus culture... such as 18. Because when you're 16 you may as well say " I am almost 18" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just because he has a mother doesn't mean he was not made artificially. Neither of these 2 points is confirmed. Also.. I will... Ignore the salt comment. For now.

Sirfol Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 then i will put my scientist hat and ask: who live more: a charger or a leaper? (charger=infestation+greener, leaper= infestation+crewman) if the corpus are sort of synthetic then maybe they live less respect a charger or it doesn't matter? mumble mumble.

(PSN)PillarOfWar Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 In the anti Mao synthesis it says “Orokin didn’t have parents like you do, it was done differently then.” So it's not a confirmation but kinda implies the corpus are mating naturally again.

SpeedOfLightPuncher Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 if the troop is a clone (lancer, crewman, bombard, nullifier) then they don't live very long as we know from the tubemen event if the troop is not a clone (Vor, Ruk, the sergant) then they can probably live over 100 years (Darvo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything some were Archimedians. Fragments from Ordis confirm they merely claim they are Orokin descent. So far the only enemy faction with confirmed high-status Orokin are the Grineer. 26 minutes ago, (PS4)PillarOfWar said: In the anti Mao synthesis it says “Orokin didn’t have parents like you do, it was done differently then.” So it's not a confirmation but kinda implies the corpus are mating naturally again. Likely because the Orokin probably bred people for specific tasks or purposes, sorta like Kryptonians breeding warriors or scientist. The father likely never had actual parents, but people used to contribute DNA for his engineering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the Grineer may not have always been cloned either but bred. the cloning started during the wars. As in the story of them taking a DNA sample from the Grineer in the mine that fought something. If he was a clone wouldn't his DNA already be on file? Safe to to say that the orokin manipulated the population in many different ways. More than we can imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they wanted to check for an unforeseen mutation that made him tougher than other Grineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
