Homo Atlantis

Homo Atlantis

a Corporate Gene Clone species made by Honda Corporation of United Earth. The Homo Atlantis [2]were genetic tailored humanoid gene clones to work under water. To achieve this Human DNA and dolphin DNA were gene tailored together.[1] The H.A are very specialized and weren't really needed (especially after the Ult joined) A space faring society did not have as much need for a sentient Underwater worker as the Honda Corporation hoped for. After the H.A were declared an independent species they recieved their own world. A water world named Azure Reef in the Cassinio System. They joined the Union relative late (compared to the other Clone species)in 3604. After joining they recieved development aid (requested) and an open semi submerged city was built ( Paradise Reef). Homo Atlanteans can serve in the Union Navy (With Ult Mositure suits) but are barred from Marine service(not meeting their requirements) They are generally precieved as peaceful and gentle and mostly choose Science council or humanitarian  roles for their Citizen Service[3] There are only about 50 Million Homo Atlanteans and most remain on Azure Reef. There are large colonies on Para Para, Maritim and several other Water worlds. Paradise Reef and the planet are prime holiday destinations and tourism and tourist service industry is their main venue. Few H.A serve in the Fleet but a fair number serves with the Explorer Fleet.

[1] Not to be confused with the Elevated Dolphins of Earth or the Awakened Dolphins. [2] Not the same as the Atlanteans [3] Every Union Citizen must serve 22 month at a Federal/ accepted Community support service
