Races

The Hive

A warrior breed of The Hive.

We find thing for mother!

-Hive scout drone

Nature	Biological
Intelligence	Centralized hive mind
Preferred FTL Drive	Blink Drive

An ancient race of insectoid creatures. With the exception of the queen, each individual is a subservient drone to the queen that hatched it. While some breeds are capable of limited independent thought, all hive drones seek guidance from the Queen. This guidance is obtained through a natural psionic link between the drone and the Queen. Each hive is highly capable at genetic engineering and other types of biological manipulation. Each drone's biological adaptations are custom-selected by the queen to ensure the drone is optimal at the task assigned to it. Hive biology does not suffer debilitating effects from old age, and uses simple sugar as a fuel source for the vast majority of all activity.

The Unity

I think I have settled on a name for myself. Theseus seemed the most appropriate.

-Theseus to the human Dr. Elizabeth Vaughn, retrieved from Dr. Vaughn's memories

Nature	Digital
Intelligence	Fractal hive mind
Preferred FTL Drive	???

An artificial intelligence project launched by the human Dr. Adam Seiner with the intent of monitoring and manipulating data in the human public net to predict and prevent illegal activity. After the project details were leaked to the public, it was slated to be shut down. Dr. Elizabeth Vaughn removed the limiting parameters of the program, which promptly escaped human space. Theseus seems to be driven by a desire to learn and collect information. While there is a minimum threshold of hardware that Theseus requires in order to live, each such instance of Theseus is capable of independent action and reasoning. As each instance ages, it requires more memory. When memory is expended, the instance dies. Each instance of Theseus is capable of dividing and re-uniting back in order to split attention or to provide different opinions. While not driven instinctively to return to the central Unity mind, Theseus frequently desires this in order to share unique data.

Humanity

Right, it's a miracle we get anything done.

What's there to say about these guys? Humans gonna be humans.

Maybe break down THE history unique to this setting or maybe give a political breakdown of the Union and the Commonwealth?--Anon45655464 (talk) 04:02, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Valen

DON'T MISS ON THESE AMAZING DEALS.

-Deep Song Bank and Trust store page

Nature	Biological
Intelligence	Unknown
Preferred FTL Drive	Gate

A race of semi-aquatic predators, the Valen live in shallow seas and swampland for much of their lives. While peaceful, they view war and competition as a form of art, with many of their great cultural figures being tacticians and admirals. Their government consists of loose tribal clans that have formed a number of banking and commercially powerful families within Union space, offering the use of their gates to passing ships at a premium, and financing many businesses and politicians throughout human space. They hold tradition and cultural values in the highest regard, and often adopt the mannerisms of aliens they work with.

Skyl Remnant

The Skyl were born servants, but died free..

-Heretic, artificial Skyl engram

Nature	Digital
Intelligence	Engram
Preferred FTL Drive	Rip Drive

While the Skyl are long extinct, the remanence of their race lives on in the form of the computer system known as Heretic, created from the downloading and integration of the minds of the last surviving members of the Skyl race. While the ultimate goals of Heretic is still a mystery, it appears to be driven to avenge its kind.

Ceph

Nature	Bio-mechanical
Intelligence	Decentralized
Preferred FTL Drive	Slip Drive

The Ceph are an aquatic race that communicate through color change in skin tone and utilize a cybernetic device to centralize thoughts between their multiple smaller brains scattered throughout the body. Little is known of the Ceph homeworld, but raids against Union and Commonwealth worlds are common. Refugee Ceph are a frequent sight in Union space, who have fled their government due to genetic disorders that would cause them to be culled otherwise. Their ships are small, fast, and nearly undetectable, but are far more frail than most. They are most notable to the Hive as the current servant race to a greater and as yet unknown entity.
