Elastoos,  Gene Clone Slaves  without a boney skeleton based on  Terran   octopus  and  human   DNA.

CreationEdit
Designed and patented by Enroe Industries, they were meant for working in aquatic environments, such as the continental shelves of Earth’s oceans.

DescriptionEdit
Although generally humanoid, Elastoos have a somewhat obese, streamlined, hairless look. This is due to a blubber-like layer of fat under their skin. Technically, Elastoos do have an endoskeleton that is entirely cartilaginous lending the appearance of bonelessness.

Like most octopi, Elastoos have a rubbery, translucent grayish skin. They also have auxiliary gills, based upon the octopus rather than fish.

HistoryEdit
In 2111, Enroe Industries sued DeNoir Industries for patent infringement. Enroe patented the Elastoos, while DeNoir introduced the Rubbers, Gene Clone Slaves of virtually the same design (just smaller). The United Earth Court decided in favor of DeNoir citing that DeNoir used a different type of octopus (one found on Ulta) and that Enroe patented the DNA pattern and not the form or looks of the result.

Bill Horton of Enroe declared Enroe an “Independent Company” no longer associated with Earth and its Headquarters on Asteroid Vesta, also no longer subject to any Earth Laws. He also declared the No Hold Barred Business style. Enroe Corporate Mercenaries raided the Toyo-Shubi headquarters in Tokyo and killed sixty one people. (That it was Enroe was not known at that time) Enroe spaceships also attacked DeNoir Labs on Venus and destroyed two DeNoir freighters on their way to Mars. DeNoir openly declared war against Enroe Industries, kicking off the Corporate Bio Wars.

Today about 22 million Elastoos exist. They received a suitable planet ( Sanctuary 3)  All Elastoos are Union citizens and receive legal government paid procreation assistance as they are like the Rubbers were unable to reproduce (See  The lost Elastoos )

Whilew the Elastoos can be found in any social role they tend to become skilled EVA workers
