|Humans are the most common of all species 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.

|Vuulen are an alien race of cold-blooded, lizard-like humanoids originating from their homeworld of Sangris, now commonly found all throughout space. Their many notable features set them apart from any other species: Fangs, claws, frills, a tail, and digitigrade legs give vuulen a distinct look. They're the most similar to humans in terms of mechanics and Command privilege, being able to serve as any Head of Staff, but still suffer a healthy amount of racism.

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
Humans.png
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.
  • Likes: Fried, cooked, and junk food
  • Dislikes: Raw food
  • Toxic: None
  • AI Protection under the Asimov lawset.
  • Able to work as any Command Job.
  • The only race able to serve as Captain.
  • No money diverted from paychecks.
  • Inherent ability to speak English.
  • No notable weaknesses.
Lizardpeople.png
Lizardperson/Vuulek
Vuulen are an alien race of lizard people originating from their homeworld of Sangris, now commonly found all throughout space. Their many notable features set them apart from any other species: Fangs, claws, frills, a tail, and digitigrade legs give vuulen a distinct look. They're the most similar to humans in terms of mechanics and Command privilege, being able to serve as any Head of Staff, but still suffer a healthy amount of racism.
  • Likes: Meat of any kind, seafood, and fruit
  • Dislikes: Sugar and vegetables
  • Toxic: None
  • Cold-blooded, less affected by very high/low temperatures.
  • Able to receive blood transfusions from any other vuulen.
  • Inherent ability to speak Draconic.
  • Only able to receive blood from other vuulen.
  • Unable to wear most footwear on account of digitigrade legs.
  • Noticeable hisssing.
Podpeople.png
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.
  • Likes: Light and sugar
  • Dislikes: All other food
  • Toxic: Alcohol
  • Gradually heals and gains nutrition in well lit areas, doubled when digesting sugar.
  • Benefits from certain chemicals used on plants.
  • Slight resistance to electric shock.
  • Able to breathe both oxygen and CO2.
  • Killer tomatoes, venus human traps and pine trees are neutral toward them.

Moths.gif

  • They take 3x damage from pest spray.
RedEthereal.png
Ethereal
Strange humanoids and cousins of slimepersons, ethereals are glowing star-entities that possess veins filled with liquid electricity.

Job Description Diet Benefits Drawbacks Command Roles
Felinids.png
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!

  • Likes: Anything that's cooked, grilled food, seafood, dairy, mice
  • Dislikes: Raw food, chocolate
  • Toxic: None
  • AI Protection under the Asimov lawset.
  • Allowed to work as Command Jobs.

  • Easily distracted by laser pointers.

Halloween Races

During the Halloween event, these are additions to the races allowed to be chosen at round start.

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.

Slimepeople.png
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.

  • Buz-zz-zing lisp.
  • Grotesque appearance.
  • Eats vomit and the ingestion in any form of nutriment causes them to vomit the contents (which are then slurped back in from the floor).

Construct Races

Job Description Benefits Drawbacks Found
Golem adamantine.png
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.

Skeleton
The skeleton within, unleashed! Somehow still alive, a skeleton is just a sack of stark white bones.

Abductor base.png
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.

  • Improved unarmed attacks.
  • Have no blood to lose.
  • Are immune to the effects of radiation.

How- To Pick A Race

To play one of the mentioned races, there are many overlapping options:

  • Roundstart races can be selected in the character-settings (where you would specify your haircolor, job-preferences etc.). Some might be restricted though.
  • Admins, so consider the in-character praying or the out of character ahelp if you want to request a race. Provided you have a worthy reason of course.
  • Mutation toxins change your race and randomise your appearance. Ask xenobiology for some:
    • Stable Mutation Toxin (Human)
    • Mutation Toxin (Slimepeople)
    • Imperfect Mutation Toxin (Jellypeople)
    • Shadow Mutation Toxin (Shadowpeople)
    • Abductor Mutation Toxin
    • Android Mutation Toxin
    • Ash Mutation Toxin
    • Felinid Mutation Toxin
    • Fly Mutation Toxin
    • Golem Mutation Toxin
    • Lizard Mutation Toxin
    • Moth Mutation Toxin
    • Plasma Mutation Toxin
    • Podperson Mutation Toxin
