'''Iron Wombs''' are artificial birthing chambers used by the [[Clans]] as part of their eugenics program for the creation of the perfect [[trueborn]] warriors.  Early examples were first used in [[2816]] to birth the first Clan warriors, but by [[2819]] dedicated "birthing systems" had been developed, with the devices evolving steadily over the years until the current model was developed by [[Clan Diamond Shark]] in [[2850]].<ref name="TC:WoKp68">''The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky'', p. 68, "Medical Technology And Genetics"</ref>
