'''Progenoids''' ('''gene-seeds''') are a pair of glands implanted into a [[Space Marine]] during the 18th phase of his initiation. One gland is situated in the neck, the other deep within the chest cavity. These glands are vital to the survival of the Marine's [[Chapter]], as they are a chapter's only source of new implants which create a Marine. The Progenoid creates germ cells, each corresponding to one of the other implanted organs in the Marine. These germ cells develop within the Progenoid. After five years, the neck Progenoid is mature and ready to be removed. After ten years, the chest Progenoid becomes mature and is also ready to be removed.
