@InsatiablyBored: You'd be surprised how easily someone can be kept alive too! So long as you're willing to burn a fate point, even a critical that should've killed you can be 'fixed' I'd imagine, in a sense. There's a variety of alien artifacts and at least two Imperium ways to keep a human living past its time *not including the Dreadnaught things*. One of them even gives you an Elite Package, like an extra class thing.
