'''Preterni''' are a hybrid organic-synthetic species consisting of a simple, mechanical chassis that holds an assortment of augmented organs comprised of flesh and metal. Lost relics of the ancient '''Vxtvul Empire''', preterni used to serve their creators, the '''Vxtrin'''. Now, they seek to be their own power under the flag of the '''Remnants of Vxtvul'''. Some end up working in '''Sol Interplanetary Coalition''' space, though tensions between the Remnants and SIC means this is rare. | '''Preterni''' are a hybrid organic-synthetic species consisting of a simple, mechanical chassis that holds an assortment of augmented organs comprised of flesh and metal.

They are most commonly found in engineering or scientific departments, receiving impressive pay relative to other non-human species. Despite significant political tensions between the SIC and the Remnants, several preterni still find relatively calm work on Nanotrasen stations. 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. | They are most commonly found in engineering or scientific departments, receiving impressive pay relative to other non-human species.
