In the link on the previous page there are yes some reference's to genes.
In your'e talking about the star wars Emperor who was in part and in the past my father. He lived a long life because he was totally dedicated to keeping both his office in power and the Empire going steady and strong. So in reality he was a pope-like figure that was both beyond reproach as well as social touch. This is why many wanted him deposed of.
I carried a lot of his gene inscription, but there was also a good amount of engineering placed in me. I was a dumb-ass and was going towards a life of crime, till I took an off world freighter one day and the engines failed on takeoff. The pilots did a miraculous job in straightening out the craft into a very shallow dive, but when it hit, anything inside was more or less violently bounced around and died.
When they found me, I was in horrible shape and not expected to make it. They did a lot for me, but I was confined the rest of my life to a bio-assist suit. This gave me the mobility I desired, but made me more or less a freak. I could have sex from time to time, but marriage in the eyes of my father was never a prospective possibility.
I helped him keep that kingdom intact, but still don't know to this day, whether it was by his means, that transport was engineered to crash, or a natural accident. I kind of figured he was my father. I would be near him, but his abilities were that he was able to see right through that suit and into what was going on inside my head.
My memories are that I stayed with him as long as I could.
The beginning of the movie Pitch Black, where the spaceship crashes, is somewhat like I went through. Long lived beings do not fare well, when the society supporting them goes to Hell.
