Super Simians (SuSims)
Super Simians (SuSims) and SuSim Cyborgs have been one of the more stunting trends for "true" AIs, arising from the advances in the fields of genetics and integrated cybernetics. For physically manifested tasks considered too menial, too dangerous, or too monotonous for Humans, the SuSims and SuSimCys proved cheaper, more reliable, and, through advancements in genetics, easier to dominate than AI alternatives.
As a client race they are quite prevalent in High-Born space as servants. In other societies, however, the use of SuSims is seen as inhumane or otherwise frowned upon.
Physical characteristics
The SuSims were constructed from augmented blends of Terran primates, and many discernable features of their Chimpanzee and Bonobo ancestors are immediately recognizeable. They remain hairy, not for practical purposes, as much as to help convince their masters that the lines between pet, tool, and slave have not been crossed in an era when some "Humans" may be further distant genetically than the SuSims are from Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
Habitat
They are breathing an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere.
