The Uplifted Ape are a technologically sophisticated sophont species.
- They are a Minor Non-Human Race with a Non-humanoid appearance.
Description (Specifications)
Uplifted Apes are a genetically modified and uplifted sophont species beleived to have been created by the Solomani.
Uplifted great apes – chimpanzees or gorillas – are the second most common genetically engineered intelligent animals created by the Terran Confederation. Like Humans ordinary gorillas and chimps are hominids. Although routinely referred to as ‘uplifted chimps’ due to their appearance most uplifted apes are neither chimpanzees or gorillas but Troglodytes sapiens. This artificial species is a transgenic hybrid of gorilla, chimp and some Human genes first developed late in the Interstellar Wars period. They were perfected by Old Earth Union genetic engineers on Terra. By 1105 there are several million uplifted apes living on Solomani worlds.
History & Background (Dossier)
Aside from Dolphins, Terrans tampered with a number of other species to make them more useful partners in the colonial enterprise. For example, chimpanzees, gibbons, gorillas, and orangutans were all altered for greater intelligence and various other desirable traits." While it's not definitively stated that these uplifts achieved sentience, the illustration of the pistol-packing gorilla certainly implies that.
