Luriani (Sophont) Synopsis

The Luriani are a minor Human race with a homeworld at Daramm (Ley 0812).

Luriani (Sophont) Physiology & Environment

The Ancients did extensive genetic engineering in the Luriani to adapt them to the water world that is their home, including webbed feet and hands, an ability to surive on the oxygen in their blood stream for up to an hour, and dive to much greater depths than normal humans.

Unlike most minor human races, the Luriani are classified as a seperate species, Homo luriani. As such they are not interfertile with other humans without extensive genetic engineering.
