Sometimes derogatorily referred to as "Hotheads" or "Gasbags", Plasmamen are sentient non-humans hired by Nanotrasen to fill in gaps in their [[Humans|Human]] workforce. Plasmamen are barred from most authority roles on Nanotrasen stations and are not protected by Asimov's laws of robotics. | Sometimes derogatorily referred to as "Hotheads" or "Gasbags", Plasmamen are sentient non-humans hired by Nanotrasen to fill in gaps in their [[Humans|Human]] workforce.

Under normal circumstances they cannnot survive surgical procedures. | ||

Plasmamen breathe plasma, and carry their own plasma gas tanks; unlike [[Atmospherics_items#Plasma Tank|standard plasma tanks]], these can be carried on their waist. These plasma tanks are not stocked on the station, but additional tanks may be ordered in [[supply crates]]. A plasmaman's body will not release plasma into their environment. | Plasmamen breathe plasma, and carry their own plasma gas tanks; unlike [[Atmospherics_items#Plasma Tank|standard plasma tanks]], these can be carried on their waist.

Plasmamen take | Plasmamen take 50% more damage from heat, burn, and brute damage. They have no blood to remove from them. Chemicals, including food and drinks, can be injected into their bodies through their jumpsuits. Plasmamen are not susceptible to any virus or disease, including appendicitis. | ||
Once dead, a plasmaman's chances of being brought back to life are smaller than the average crew member.

Defibrillators don't work, because plasmamen do not have a heart. Cloning a plasmaman is possible but requires more care; measures such as brain transplants or building cloning machines in a room with no oxygen are possible too. Blood cannot be drawn out of a plasmaman, so they cannot be turned into a [[podman|Podman]] (without turning them into some other species first). | ||
[[Surgery]] can be performed to remove a plasmaman's brain from their often burning body; fortunately the brain won't burst into flames and can be used like any other brain. | [[Surgery]] can be performed to remove a plasmaman's brain from their often burning body; fortunately the brain won't burst into flames and can be used like any other brain. | ||
