The Aquans of Akiva (Dagudashaag 0935) are a Variant Human Race. They are technologically sophisticated sophonts.

Description (Specifications)

The Aquan are a Variant Human Race native to Akiva (Dagudashaag 0935). This is one of several aquatic offshoots engineered from Solomani Humans, with those in other parts of Charted Space known by other names, most typically Aquamorph in the Solomani Sphere.

• Also see Nexxies and Scanians for related species.

Physical Sophontology

Aquans were genetically engineered by a Solomani geneering company from normal Human stock in order to allow colonization of high gravity water worlds. Derived from a similar stock to the Scania, the Aquans are fully adapted for living in oxygen-bearing oceans. Aquans' genetic adaptions include a gill in their throat and back. This has rendered the Aquans incapable of Human-style speech. To compensate, they have developed a complex sign language, called Na.
