Ursamari

Ursamari are an uplifted species of sophont native to the northern regions of Earth. During largely unsanctioned experimentation in the 23rd Century, Ursamari were successfully made sentient from Polar Bears (ursus maritimus). Though they are very rare, Ursamari are some of the largest uplifted species of sophonts, standing at nearly 3 meters (9 ft.) tall. A notable member of the species is Captain Justice Landon.

Today, most Ursamari still residing on Earth live in its Artic Circle, north of the 66th Parralel. Though censuses are exceedingly difficult to conduct, the Ursamari polulation on Earth is likely around 2.2 million.
