Human chimera are Chimeras using Humaniti as the, or one of the, base species while engineering the new species.

  • Also known as "variant human races".

Description (Specifications)

History & Background (Dossier)

The Major Race/Minor Race scheme has its exceptions and special cases.

  • Many of these involve new species of Humaniti created by genetic engineering during historical times.
  • Many laymen consider such species to be minor races, but since they have had no chance to invent jump drive on their own, but may be descended from races that did, they don't fit the usual definition of either.
