Jalacara Human
The jalacara are aquatic humans that can live full-time in the ocean. Limited to planets with habitable oceans, jalacara are the least widespread of the human variants. Because they live in the sea, they don't interact much with the other variants and are easily forgotten about, but are just as much Federation citizens as anyone else.

History
The creation of the jalacara was an intense bio-engineering effort, especially to make them Caste Law compliant. Leaders and scientists hoped that that jalacara would expand the economic potential of oceanic worlds and help settle regions that normal humans can't reach.
Jalacara did exactly that, and live in cities beneath the waves just as sophisticated as the ones above. Jalacara are usually pretty happy to be obscure as that keeps Federation eyes away. They've seen the social arrangements of the vassal worlds and the intolerance of the Terran Dictate and want no part of it. Jalacara have very much a separate culture from the rest of humanity and they like that. Of all the variants they are the least effected by the Federation Civil War.
