Note that as a lizard, an Asimov AI does not consider you human and is not obligated to listen to you. It will often respond lethally should they find you harming a human, however this also means the AI can allow you to put yourself into harm's way in a positive manner, such as opening an airlock exposed to space to save someone. Also, [[Captain|certain]] [[Head of Personnel|crew members]] will show you depths of racism previously reserved for the clown. But hey, special snowflake colors!

===History===
==History==
The past of the vuulen begins on the world of Sangris, where the lizard-people first obtained sentience, having evolved from bipedal, raptor-like creatures known as '''dretheli'''. The warmer than usual planet has a moderately longer day cycle than Earth, which permitted the vuulen to expand and work long days under the sun, into a night cycle where they would retire to caves or canopies. The world itself is fairly diverse in geography, being primarly mixture of primarily deserts, jungles, savannahs, and tropical regions. The various lizards, once they became capable of organized society and speech, quickly spread out along the landmasses in their search of prey or harvest. It is still exactly unknown for how long this period of primitiveness continued, but the vuulen developed technologically in a fashion similar to mankind. That being said, there were some key differences. First and foremost, vuulen are taller, bulkier, and more agile than humans. This permitted them a level of combat prowess that allowed them to effectively take out medium-sized animals using pack tactics. While shoddy spears and other equipment were eventually made out of stone and similar materials, some also began to make clubs with bits of '''[[plasma]]''' attached to their sides, as the precious mineral was (and still is) bountiful on the planet. Because of the specific environmental conditions required for lizard eggs, settlements quickly developed. Agriculture proved more difficult to foster, due to the warmth of the planet, though unique crops such as '''niiwo''' (a blue fruit with a disk-like core, the surrounding flesh and skin bitter and tart) and '''y’lik''' (hardened wheat that is unideal for dough, though capable of direct consumption) became two of the most prominent crops out of several across the regions that began to civilize.
