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. | During your time on station you may find yourself face to face (or face to mirror) with the not quite human.

== Collateral Racism == | |||
The world isn't perfect and so isn't Nanotransen. Where there are races, there will be racism. Despise great controversy, Nanotransen considers only Humans to be capable of performing command-related duties, and the AI will only consider those 'human enough' to be worthy of special treatment. This inevitably leads to a systematic discrimination of all alien species. While this might seem inacceptable at first glance, it is a key-parameter for both lore-consistency and race-balancing. | |||
What is inacceptable however is active use of harassing racist slurs, most notably the use of the L-word (Which is the N-word with a changed first letter). Though minor remarks and jokes can be considered harmless in most cases, great care should be taken to not activly harass other players. If the roleplaying-situation requires some sort of an insult, it is often better to opt for a non-race-specific one. | |||
