Watercats are a species of semi-aquatic felinoids native to a high-grav planet (2.5x standard grav). The most unique feature of watercat biology are their chest sacs. These inflatable sacs can be filled with water to stay hydrated while on dry land, or with air for ballast while swimming. There is little outward physical difference between males and females, which can sometimes lead Terrans to mistake a well-hydrated watercat male for a female. Because an individual's chest varies in size frequently, watercat clothing incorporates mesh and elastic around the chest, and typically leaves their thoracic gills (just beneath the chest sacs) bare.

Watercat society is fiercely individualist, composed of small groups governed only loosely by a planetary federation. Their physical capability and relatively moderate size makes watercats highly effective as mechanics and crew engineers, as well as formidable mercenaries. When specialized quarters are unavailable, ship-bound watercats can make do by sleeping submerged in the crew bath.
