Editing Variant Human Race

[[File: Wiki Navy.png|right]]
The [[Major Race]]/[[Minor Race]] scheme has its exceptions and special cases. 
* Many of these involve new species of [[Humaniti]] created by [[genetic engineering]], also known as ''"geneering"''.
* Some call these species [[Transhuman]]s.

== Description ==
Many laymen consider such species to be [[minor race]]s, but since they have had no chance to invent [[jump drive]] on their own, but maybe descended from races that did, they don't fit the usual definition of either. 
* Most scientists use the term ''[[Variant Human Race]]'' to indicate these genetically engineered populations.

== History ==
Variant Human Races may or may not rate their own taxonomic name. 
* This often depends on political considerations, although sometimes there are sound practical reasons for an omission.

== Astrography ==
[[Variant Human Race]]s can be found throughout [[Charted Space]]. Part of what makes it [[Charted Space]] is the presence of higher [[sophont]] life. No [[human]] races are believed to be located beyond the frontiers of [[Charted Space]]. However, many rumors that human life exists beyond the range of the [[Ancients]] spread throughout the spaceways.
 
=== World Listing ===
[[Variant Human Race]]s are known to reside on the following systems and worlds:
