The '''Vox''' are remnants of an ancient race, that originate from arkships known collectively as the <b>Shoal</b>. "Vox" on its own usually refers to the common <b>Vox Primalis</b>, just one of many castes among the Vox. These strange bioengineered beings have a physiological caste system and follow the tenets of <b>'The Inviolate'</b>. Breathing pure nitrogen, they require specialized masks and tanks for survival outside their arkships. Their insular nature limits their involvement in broader galactic affairs, maintaining a distinct, yet isolated presence away from other species.

Vox is an optional species that can be chosen for play in the character creation menu. Vox anatomy is uniquely shaped and they are most comfortable in form-fitting clothing, but can manage with standard clothing too. They possess bright blue blood, which is antigenically incompatible with standard ABO blood types. They breathe nitrogen (N<sub>2</sub>)<br>

They speak their own language, known as Vox-pidgin (key is :v), which employs a number of harsh shrieks in its phonology.<br>
They are not protected under a standard Asimov lawset, and so caution should be exercised when dealing with humans or the AI and its cyborgs if Asimov is in effect.
