Ok, trying to answer questions. BTW, if you put the @ in front of admin, I think it notifies me and summons me 
Regarding your direct questions:
I am ok with some of the genetically modified animals (modified before the people) escaped the labs to the deserts, and that some may have been domesticated by the Turkmen. These would be things like genetically modified war dogs, that are just slightly bigger, smarter, stronger. No flying hamsters that shoot lasers
But if you want to propose a specific couple of animals that they use in their society or for battle, sure.
I was imagining that the Turkmen have increased resistance to radioactivity. In their genes, they have more proteins that repair and prevent damage from radiation. They aren't immune, which should put limits on how long they go into the deserts. They should have a custom that you only go in 10 days (or something) before you need to come out, because if you don't there will be some lasting damage (unless they DO have special medicines/protective gear). Maybe part of what they want from Minerva is enough gear and medicine for them to CROSS the radioactive desert? Because they believe that they need to go to their homelands in the south or something/ are tired of living up north. They want more territory to wander or something.
I'd say no on bioweapons/nuclear weapons. If they had those, Minerva would have made a concentrated effort in the past to hunt down and destroy them. Whereas right not they tolerate the Turkmen because they aren't that bad. They've been sending diplomats (and spies) to try to meet with them. Maybe one of their spies offends them deeply? Which leads to them wanting to fight the Turkmen? Or a mix of telling them that Minerva has the suits and medicine and cures, but won't give it to you unless X, which offends them?
Any other specific questions? Let me know.
