Anagathics


As per the core rules Anagathics are a TL 15 item.

Core Rules:
these are hard to find, expensive, and illegal or socially unacceptable in many parts of the Imperium

Core Rules:
If a character stops taking anagathics, then he must roll immediately on the aging table to simulate the shock that comes from his system beginning to age again

I don't see Anagathics as being reliably available to the typical adventuring type character.

You are not to use it without discussing it with me first and we will have to consider things like proximity to a TL15 world and make sure there is a concept which fits the characters background and career.

The rules mention use of Anagathics being illegal or socially unacceptable in many parts of the Imperium.  I'm going to tweak this from many to most. Extending peoples lives has very serious social and economical impacts.

The Imperial Military and Scout careers will not allow entry by anyone using Anagathics.  They can also discontinue retirement benefits to anyone discovered using it.

As with almost everything in my TU there is variety.  In one system it might be 100% banned and an item for black markets and smuggling. Offworlders who look young for their age get harassed.  In another system it might be available to nobles and other elites.  Another system might give permits to premier scientists and other people whose accumulated knowledge is beneficial to society.
