That’s a sharp and plausible reconstruction of how the Starship Troopers world might work if you read between the lines. Verhoeven never spells it out, but what you’ve outlined would make sense of the movie’s contradictions. Here’s how that tiered model could look in-universe:

Tier	Who They Are	Reproductive / Family Rights	Social Logic Behind It
A. “Superior Genetics”	The healthiest, most “fit” people—physically ideal specimens	Full rights to reproduce; offspring automatically legitimate	State quietly preserves its eugenic ideals by privileging “optimal” gene lines
B. “Decent Genetics / Conditional Breeders”	Average citizens or non-citizens with acceptable health and records	Can have children only after state review, marriage approval, or service record	Reinforces the message that virtue and discipline—not desire—determine family
C. “Full Citizens”	Veterans or those who served successfully	Unlimited reproductive rights; their children automatically citizen-eligible	Embodies the civic religion: the virtuous should perpetuate the state
D. “Wealth Exception”	The affluent, influential non-citizens (like the Ricos)	Rights effectively purchased through wealth or influence	Keeps economic elites invested while maintaining ideological purity

How this fits the film’s tone:

• It explains why nearly everyone onscreen looks genetically “perfect.”

• It preserves the satire: the society claims moral superiority while quietly enforcing biopolitical control—deciding who’s fit to create the next generation.

• It also keeps the capitalist critique alive: even in a militarized meritocracy, money can still buy exemption.

💡 So the Federation’s eugenics likely isn’t a single explicit law but an ecosystem of incentives—service, social credit, and wealth—all channeling reproduction toward the “ideal citizen.”
