Species Detail
Uzkalla
Category 1 Anthropoid 1

For generations, the brightest star in the night sky was your people’s religious icon, "The Star that Moves", or in their language, 'Sufrana'. Even with limited technological advances, it was clear that Sufrana was an object close to the planet when compared to other celestial bodies visible in the night sky. From the moment it appeared, your people’s only goal was to rise from the oceans and take flight to be one with your god. Imagine your surprise when it turned out to be a bunch of weird looking aliens who had been watching you far more closely than you were watching them.

There are two types of Uzkallans. Some are glad for the Empire and the ability to experience other cultures. The rest are still bitter, several generations later, that your god turned out to be nothing more than other people. The bitter ones have largely remained on-world while the more adventurous took to the stars. You should play an Uzkallan if you’re looking to get deep into the emotional conflict of an abandoned faith and to see what it’s like being the ‘youngest’ species of the Empire.

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.
