Species Detail
Human
Category 1 Anthropoid 1

Humanity is a long way from their home of Old Earth. They were the first species to begin exploring the vast universe and were the catalyst for forming the Empire. Despite their founding status, they are not a ruling class within the Empire. Life for them is much the same as it is for every other species, though the majority of people found throughout the universe are human.

Playing a Human in Empire 6 is right for you if your ancestors left earth all those centuries ago. They went on to be explorers, farmers, or diplomats. In a time when sapient species were just beginning to explore the universe, your family boarded a colony ship, pointed at a random planet that looked like it could sustain life, and set off into the unknown. Now, a thousand years later, you are in a region of space just beginning to be charted. Where will you go?

Full Species Description and History

 
Planetary Adaptation

This stat explains which of the 5 Categories of planetoid that species can live upon. These definitions are loose, but each one corresponds to a general band of survivability. Old Earth can be considered a Category 1 planetoid while a planetoid with little to no atmosphere, extreme volcanic activity, and with a dangerous (and angry) population could be considered a Category 5.

Physiology

All living species have a physiological classification. It describes the vast differences in biology between known species. Certain treatments may work on a human, but when you cut open a Felsectid to pull the buckshot out, you’ll be met with a spiracle instead of a lung. For example, emergency restoration Hypos only work on certain physiologies, so when your friend is dying on the ship, make sure you give them the right medicine!

Durability

Each species has varying abilities to take a hit, as it were. Durability describes the number of times that species can be hit in the torso without needing urgent medical attention. Never fear, though. With the correct Licenses, any species can wear body armor that affords significant protection.
