Modayan

Genetically engineered race created by the Ghram. They average six and a half feet tall, and are an amphibious species. They are much stronger than a baseline human, possesses greater strength and stamina and their skins are highly resitant to injury. In addition, they have very sharp claws, sharp teeth, and their skin and claws secrete a fast-acting poison that numbs and then causes intense pain at the point of flesh to flesh contact.

The Modayans were an attempt to breed a more loyal soldier in the wake of the Siridar revolt, and genetically programmed them to be almost religiously deferential to their masters. However, this project was abandoned with the destruction of the Ghram homeworld and their subsequent retreat from known space. Most of the cloning pools that created them were destroyed, but the leader of the Pirate Clans known as Dragos discovered a functional set of clone pools. These were rendered inoperative after his death, and the mass suicide of the final generation of Modayans ensured the extinction of the species, as no other functional Modayan clone pools are believed to exist.
