Ferals

The earth-plutonian war saw a huge shift in the research and development of genetic engineering. The rapid advancement led to the (mostly) stable design templates for space-faring beings that are still active to this day. However, as with any new frontier of technology coupled with too much funding and moral leeway, there were several mistakes and missteps that led to biological organisms that roam space and shipwrecks, in spite of all attempts to wipe them out. Some are the documented result of gengineering projects, some are either the result of independent, self-sustained byproducts of experiments or secretive projects who existence is covered up, leaving no known origin or explanation for their existence. Either way, ferals prove that even in the depths of space, life finds a way.
