Why, just why is this a thing, and how did it become a thing, how is this even possible...

Because some planets orbit their sun quicker than others, biological age and chronological age don't match that of Earth.
Biological age is what you should consider their 'normal' age
while chronological is the activity of their home planet since they've been on it

uh, chronological age is how much time would have past on a watch they were wearing while biological age is how much their body has been in an aging state (as in, not frozen like a popsicle). so my brain still hurts.
he spent exactly one year in crypto sleep on like a ship so his world of origin must be really close to thr 'rim' world he crashed on

inverse, he spent -1 years in crypto sleep, he is older biologically than chronologically.
Whoops! Was this Alpha 10?
Transcendant time travel, man! They abducted him and sent him a year back in time!
He has come back from Alpha 11 to warn us of future bugs!
I have this sudden urge of making "Time travel" one of my Ending (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=11275.msg112541#msg112541) suggestion.

I actually noticed the same thing with a pawn back when you first introduced chrono/bio ages in A9. Obviously a bug, though there could be explanations in a sci-fi setting for the discrepancy, such as somebody being a force-grown clone who's aged to maturity in a short span of time. I think I've seen a few pawns with 'vatgrown' backgrounds here and there: perhaps instead of fixing the bug outright, you could make it a common attribute for them?

Oh... well I guessed I missed the whole point of the screenshot...
Now I just feel dumb...
When you're 20 and get a liver transplant from that 70 year old raider, your average biological age goes up a bit!
