|Cursed beings of darkness, shadows that cannot exist for long in the light. They skulk in darkened maintenance corridors or in workplaces with intentionally destroyed lighting. They are not intrinsically evil, but still invoke an understandable level of mistrust in pretty much everyone. They share many of the passive effects with the [[Shadowling|shadowlings]] subspecies, but none of their innate spells or abilities. They are far less a threat.

== Collateral Racism ==
The world isn't perfect and so isn't Nanotransen. Where there are races, there will be racism. Despise great controversy, Nanotransen considers only Humans to be capable of performing command-related duties, and the AI will only consider those 'human enough' to be worthy of special treatment. This inevitably leads to a systematic discrimination of all alien species. While this might seem inacceptable at first glance, it is a key-parameter for both lore-consistency and race-balancing.
What is inacceptable however is active use of harassing racist slurs, most notably the use of the L-word (Which is the N-word with a changed first letter). Though minor remarks and jokes can be considered harmless in most cases, great care should be taken to not activly harass other players. If the roleplaying-situation requires some sort of an insult, it is often better to opt for a non-race-specific one.
