Yes, I know -- there are rules for Gorilla and Chimpanzee uplifts, as well as Dolphins and Orcas. But Terra has a multitude of high-potential animals -- elephants, octupi, bears, orangutans, and etc. And Humaniti has been working with canines for so long that a Dog uplift project seems inevitable. Corvids and Psittacines are really smart, too.
I think it would be neat to collect ideas & suggestions for how to make Solomani uplifts beyond just the few we have now. I especially imagine the fun* (* term is used under advisement, and also heavy cover) with encounters between Vargr and dog Uplifts. Maybe a Briard Uplift arriving to clock into his Security job at the same time as his Vargr Corsair friend....
Seriously, though -- I think there is a lot of potential material here, & I would love to see what folks suggest.
[Edit:]
Thought I would provide an example of the sort of stuff I am looking for:
Uplifted Large Dog:
STR: -2, DEX: +1, END: -1
Heightened Senses: Hearing and Smell; low-light vision
Color blind to red
Bite attack
Basically this is just a re-flavored Vargr as it currently stands; but maybe we should vary the attribute modifiers to reflect 'large working dogs'. Small dogs might get a better DEX modification, and lower END.
Uplifted Brown Bear:
The 'Ursa' Terragens were detailed in T20, based on the world of Krhush in Ley sector (Ley 1804).
STR: +2, DEX: -1, END +1, INT: -1, SOC: -2
Short lifespan; Large; 9m base move.
Heightened Senses: Vision and Hearing; low light vision
Automatic skills: Recon-0, Stealth-0
