Early engenerators as used by the LinnEnt empire were comparatively crude, and the engenerated subject would be very thin and weak when they are first woken up.
I've mentioned this effect in one of my stories On The Boat which is set in the early days of the LinnEnnt empire.
By the time the region Frank_D is interested was colonised, engeneration was much more sophisticated - but that doesn't rule out the use of second-hand or dodgy technology by certain fringe fractions on the Periphery. The Periphery, of course, is constantly moving outwards from Sol over time, as at one point even NGC 1502 was at the outer edge of the Terragen Sphere.
