The Inanem Magnanime Milites, or empty-hearted soldiers, were emotionless technosapien marauders from before the posthuman era. They preserved themselves in warships resembling asteroids which contained vast refrigerated suspended animation systems. (PROSE: Weapons Grade Snake Oil) They were one of the Spiral Politic's most militarily assertive human/cybernetic species. (PROSE: The Book of the War)
Litany Chromehurst was a proto-technosapien with silver skin. (PROSE: Happily Ever After Is a High-Risk Strategy)

Into the posthuman era, the emotionless militant cyborgs who forcibly converted other humans eventually became regarded as simply another posthuman subspecies, some of them forming the Silversmiths' Coterie. (PROSE: The Book of the War)
Christèmas used a forgotten warship of the Inanem Magnanime Milites to create a hole in the defences of the Chance Coteries. (PROSE: Weapons Grade Snake Oil)
