	Additionally, all Divers possess variable-wavelength multispectrum electromagnetic vision that allows them to view multiple spectra ranging from gamma radiation to radio, allowing them to directly perceive EM hazards and even augmented reality without the need for implants or glasses like some of their peers. This has a number of side-effects, notably inducing synasthetic responses to posthuman ruins and causing the iris to tend towards bright, rich colors in shades of red, blue and purple, with the pupil being wrapped in a concentric red ring of ultradense vision cones that can retract over the pupil to prevent damage from hard radiation by increasing the reflection index of the eye on a number of wavelengths.

This has a number of side-effects, notably causing space to take on the spectra of nearby celestial bodies (Oceania's blue star coloring space a bright oceanic blue for its residents) inducing synasthetic responses to posthuman ruins and causing the iris to tend towards bright, rich colors in shades of red, blue and purple, with the pupil being wrapped in a concentric red ring of ultradense vision cones that can retract over the pupil to prevent damage from hard radiation by increasing the reflection index of the eye on a number of wavelengths.

	The Diver is a high-performance transgenic template which has been in implementation in Oceania for several decades, based on a combination of the space-purpose Icarus template and innovations discretely purchased from the Eternal Dawn around the time of recontact as well as those secured from prolonged long-distance contact with the Minkowski, the other predominantly space-based society in the Sphere. Like the Icarus and to a lesser extant than the Minkowskian, the Diver is adept in zero-gravity habitats and vessels. Unlike the former, they are somatically and metabolically tuned for certain universal markers for attractiveness (symmetry), shiny hair, a lack of skin conditions and bad smells produced by the body. They emit naturally emit a constantly-changing cocktail of pheromones which are universally pleasant to most transhumans and allow them to reduce stress caused by proximity. It would be easy to say that the purpose of the Oceanian body isn't simply to make another, better Icarus, but one that can like itself and is predisposed to being liked.

	Diver		Oceania is a nation dreaming of finding its own identity, something reflected in the multipurpose and generalist nature of the Diver template. It is intended to not simply survive in space, but thrive and live in comfort, given numerous minor tweaks that do not significantly hamper reproductive viability or health in an age of ubiquitous exowombs and reproductive assistance.

	Certain bioconservative factions such as the nearby colony of [[Esperança]] were reticent to resume association with an extremely transhumanist state, but the general atmosphere in PACT was receptive, if cool. As reconstruction continued in the Pac-Arm and Oceania made itself known as a staunch supporter of its fellow colonies, relations improved to the degree that most were at least willing to continue associating with them for the economic incentives. This is extremely present in its continuing interractions with its close Brazilian neighbor, which enjoyed the benefits of a continued relationship with the relatively Dust-rich colony while developping its own ~~mobile suit~~ line during the ZOCU war. Indeed, while many Outer Expanse states suffered during the post-Breakdown, Oceania was buoyed by its natural resources and enjoyed the status of creditor rather than debtor in most interactions with its neighbors in the Expanse.

	Consequently, Oceania remained mostly inactive during the war for much of its duration. It acted as a ship depot, refueling station and staging ground for the assaults pushing around the blockade zone at [[Horizon]] to attack ZOCU worlds, but never engaged in any of the major battles of the war. Well-protected by its in-system fleet and buoyed by reinforcements from the NorPac and ASEAN space fleets, it remained inviolate for the entirety of the conflict and remained a constant thorn in the side of 'western' ZOCU.

	The Oceanian Navy did make a few tours of duty with the Australian and Indonesian space fleets scouring the tradelanes for ZOCU commerce raiders, but only did so for its own interest. It also also notably participated at the disastrous Battle of Rapture at the insistence of ~~Sao Galvao~~, and took heavy losses from ZOCU mobile armors. It's (correctly) thought that Oceania's own homegrown ~~mobile suit~~ program and their funding of ~~Sao Galvao~~'s project is a direct consequence of the trauma of the battle and the strong impression the experimental left on Oceanian commanders.
