Starpunks races

Races

Some creatures derive the majority of their power from training. These are those creatures.

Persons

People are a diverse bunch of aliens, coming in a wide range of colors and facial structures. Many of them care strongly about their physical and cultural differences, and aspire to demonstrate that their race of aliens is the best. The civilized, bureaucratic "humans", with their empires and federations and disciplined fleets, are particularly arrogant about the superiority of their regimented way of life.

The tentacled Vordak, living in desert cave planets, are quite confident in the unparalleled excellence of their meditants.

The hairy Kwoi in their giant forest homes know that no other kind of people observes its surroundings as keenly.

The wrinkleheaded Glonkin of the airless moons know that their practice of rewarding enterprise over empathy has led them to produce the greatest architectural wonders and best-trained mercenaries of any race of aliens.

the four-armed Useev have the greatest museums in the galaxy.

Scientists who've done DNA analysis have found that all People must have had a common ancestor, but it's very difficult to narrow it down exactly when, some time between 3000 and 20000 years ago. Myths and legends of various cultures often have a reference to a "first terrain" that created their People somehow.
