The Urpayans of Urpa (Dagudashaag 2505) are a technologically sophisticated Human Chimera with a humanoid appearance.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

This race is virtually identical to Humaniti save for their pink pigmentation, purple eyes and hair, and their ability to breathe their homeworld's tainted air. Internal anatomy is almost identical to that of humans except the Urpayans have an extremely efficient filter within their large lungs. An Urpayan leaving their homeworld requires dietary supplements and a breathing apparatus to supply trace gasses — poisonous to others but vital for their survival.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The Urpayans are a human Chimera native to Urpa (Dagudashaag 2505). Urpa was settled during the Rule of Man by the same genetic engineering company that created the Scanians. Urpa was not a secret base, but the only knowledge of the origin of the race exists deep within the Urpayan sacred temple, in a sealed genetics laboratory. The first Urpayan were created sterile. Before the the company left a decision was made to make the final generation (...who would be staying behind as caretakers) fertile.
