| | |Humans are the most common of all races aboard Space Station 13, and are all-rounders who gain no significant benefits nor weaknesses besides a degree of superiority and respect from Central Command. Nanotrasen doesn't trust any other species to run their stations to the degree a human can, let alone bear the rank of Captain. | ||

| | |Originating from the planet Sangris, Vuulen are an alien race of reptilian humanoids descending from tribes of raptor-like predators. Their many notable features set them apart from any other species: Fangs, claws, frills, a tail, and digitigrade legs give vuulen a distinct look. In terms of gameplay, they're by far the most similar to humans, yet still set themselves apart with their looks, mechanics, and alien origin. | ||

Revision as of 01:05, 11 February 2024
During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human. Be they aliens, mutated humans, or self aware constructs you're expected to try and coexist on this deathtrap. Learning their quirks can be key to knowing how to keep them amicable in times of peace, and easy to put down in times of strife.
Roundstart Races
On Yogstation, these are the races allowed to be chosen at round start. Because they are freely available, you should expect to deal with them nearly every round.
Job | Description | Diet | Benefits | Drawbacks | Command Roles |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() Human |
Humans are the most common of all races aboard Space Station 13, and are all-rounders who gain no significant benefits nor weaknesses besides a degree of superiority and respect from Central Command. Nanotrasen doesn't trust any other species to run their stations to the degree a human can, let alone bear the rank of Captain. |
|
|
|
|
![]() Lizardperson/Vuulek |
Originating from the planet Sangris, Vuulen are an alien race of reptilian humanoids descending from tribes of raptor-like predators. Their many notable features set them apart from any other species: Fangs, claws, frills, a tail, and digitigrade legs give vuulen a distinct look. In terms of gameplay, they're by far the most similar to humans, yet still set themselves apart with their looks, mechanics, and alien origin. |
|
|
|
|
![]() Phytosian |
Humanoids created through the exposure of blood to a unique plant known as lazarupela vitalis, also known as podseeds. These plantpersons obtain precious nutrients from all forms of light, while darkness starves and eventually kills them. Due to their isolationist nature, very few are seen on Nanotrasen stations. |
|
|
|
|
![]() Plasmaman |
Humans who have died and resurrected in plasmafires. Plasmamen, as sapient skeletons, need to wear an envirosuit at all time to prevent their bodies from combusting with air. Flat, distant, and odd, plasmamen often find work in high-risk jobs on Nanotrasen stations. |
|
|
|
|
![]() Mothperson/Ex'hai |
White-faced insect people with wings and antennae. Lanky and fragile, ex'hau require a combination of therapy and drug treatment in order to persist in normal-g environments. As a result, very few are seen on Nanotrasen stations. |
|
|
|
|
![]() Ethereal |
Strange humanoids and cousins of slimepersons, ethereals are glowing star-entities that possess veins filled with liquid electricity. Seeking to explore the stars on several pilgrimages important to their spiritual learnings, ethereals can sometimes be found on Nanotrasen stations either due to a need to fund their or others' adventures. |
|
|
|
|
![]() Preternis |
The spawn of an old empire, Preterni are hybrid organic synthetics that were designed for working in hazardous, industrial environments. With immunity to radiation and a set of organs superior to the normal human, a preternis can often be found in an engineering or scientific setting. |
|
|
|
|
![]() Polysmorph |
A xenomorph and human hybrid. The rarest species in SIC space and the most discriminated against. Possesses features of both of their ancestors, though they lack many of the greater strengths full xenomorphs possess. |
|
|
|
|
![]() IPC |
A positronic brain in a humanoid cybernetic body. Sentient, but often robotic in mannerisms. Highly controversial due to their free will as machines. |
|
|
|
Donator Races
On Yogstation, these are the races allowed to be chosen at round start, but only by donators. Expect to see them often, but more rarely than the freely-available races.
Job | Description | Diet | Benefits | Drawbacks | Command Roles |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() Felinid |
Contrary to popular belief, felinids are not genetically modified humans. Therefore they share all privileges and are considered human to the AI. The main difference between felinids and humans is their cat ears and tail which are canonically implants.
To be revised soon! |
|
|
|
Halloween Races
During the Halloween event, these are additions to the races allowed to be chosen at round start.
Job | Description | Diet | Benefits | Drawbacks |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() Dullahan |
A headless human, rarely seen outside Halloween. One of the weakest Halloween races, as you rely on your vulnerable head for sight and life. |
|
|
|
![]() Lesser Skeleton |
A weaker form of the spooky scary skeleton. Somehow still alive, a skeleton is just a sack of stark white bones. Clattering spooks, due to their supernatural qualities they're almost always associated with wizards. Skeletons enjoy a wide selection of useful immunities, just don't expect the crew to ever enjoy looking at you ever again. |
|
|
|
![]() Cloth Golem |
Cloth golems closely resemble a mummy, and are faster than other golems. |
|
|
|
Human Mutants
Over the course of a shift, you or someone you know may lose their humanity. These races are not born, but made. These players are less likely to be the targets of racism, as many may simply acknowledge their former humanity, but are none-the-less NOT human anymore.
Job | Description | Benefits | Drawbacks | Found |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() Slimepeople |
Former humans who were converted to jelly by mutation toxin thus, becoming slime/jellypeople. Many scientists working in xenobiology will undergo this mutation willingly to work closer with their slimes, but others may mass-produce the toxin and try to push it on others. Their bodies are composed of a toxic slime, which shouldn't be consumed by other races. |
|
|
|
![]() Luminescents |
One of the variants of the Jelly people, they are known for infusing their bodies with slime cores. |
|
|
|
![]() Stargazer |
Stargazers are the telepathic branch of jellypeople, able to project psychic messages and to link minds with willing (optional) participants. |
|
|
|
![]() Flypeople |
Walking abominations of mismatched DNA caused by teleporter malfunctions. Careful calibration of the teleporter can assure those that dabble with it don't end up in this sorry state. |
|
|
|
Construct Races
These races were never human to begin with, rather they were made without any original human to convert. They are decidedly even LESS human in the eyes of many, and are frequently mistrusted as a result.
Job | Description | Benefits | Drawbacks | Found |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() Adamantine Golems |
Lumbering people of shining stone, adamantine golems are born into the servitude of their creators. While some will immediately gift these golems with freedom, others will keep them close as assistants, bodyguards, or attack dogs. Golems do not have a will of their own unless granted one by their creator, and are not directly responsible for their actions if commanded. |
|
|
Exotic Races
These races have very few ways to come about, and often rely on very rare situations to exist at all. You will almost never have to deal with them, but should be aware of them all the same for when the time comes.
Job | Description | Benefits | Drawbacks | Found |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() Skeleton |
The skeleton within, unleashed! Somehow still alive, a skeleton is just a sack of stark white bones. Clattering spooks, due to their supernatural qualities they're almost always associated with wizards. Skeletons enjoy a wide selection of useful immunities, just don't expect the crew to ever enjoy looking at you ever again. |
|
|
|
![]() Zombies |
Rotted remains of former humans, brought almost all the way back to life. Unlike the zombies you find in movies, these zombies don't crave your brains despite what they might be compelled to say sometimes. It's perfectly possible to coexist with these zombies, though understanding their slurring speech might drive some to wish it wasn't. |
|
|
|
![]() Shadowpeople |
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 of shadowlings, but none of their innate spells or abilities. They are far less a threat. |
|
|
|
![]() ![]() Synths |
Humanoid robots, disguised as an organic race. When damaged enough, their fake flesh will fall off and has to be repaired with synthflesh. |
|
|
|
![]() Androids |
Humanlike robots, distant cousins of synths. A similar result can be achieved by fully augmenting a human. |
|
|
|
![]() Abductors |
Alien beings sent here to probe the station's crew. They cannot speak normally, but instead use a special frequency tuned to their mothership: different abductor teams have separate channels. Abductors created in different ways share a common abductor channel instead, and cannot hear natural abductors. |
|
|
|
![]() Free Golems |
They function equivalently to their adamantine counterpart; they are made in Free Golem ships by completing printed golem shells. Unlike adamantine golems, they are not compelled to serve their creator, and can be made out of different minerals, although that will only change their appearance. |
|
|
