[ENG] Starbound

The universe is different. There are more habitable planets than inhabitable ones. Why is that? No one can say. But we know one thing for sure: the chosen race to rule is humanity. They were the first to find the technology of the FTL engines.

They founded the Terrene Protectorate to unite the whole universe. And all factions joined, as the Earth was stronger than anyone else. Humans had a goal: to train Protectors, to keep the peace of the universe.


“Instead of expanding our settlements across the stars, we began to look inward, to strive for balance and a sustainable way of life with the support of newly acquired resources, and to build a solid future for our beloved Earth.”
Humanity’s capital is Earth, with the TP’s center in London. They never built colonies: all of the humans are on Earth. They found a way to coexist with each other. Their planet is practically a paradise.
USCM – the United Systems Colonial Marines - is a society under the control of the Protectorate. While TP unites the universe, the USCM focuses on the wellbeing of humans.



“Vestigi-Evo Process Final Report before Distribution: The trade-off between mental evolution and physical devolution is unavoidable.”
The Apex is a race which was familiar to humans. They turned into monkey like creatures after they found a way to trade physical evolution for intelligence. Their despotic leader is Big Ape. Nobody have ever seen the glorious leader, but his voice controls everything. Who doesn’t devote to his power is practically dead.
MiniKnog – the Ministry of Knowledge – is the organization which keeps the Apex community together with force. Everyone who acts against them ends up in one of their research laboratories to never be seen again.
The Resistance is an underground group of soldiers whose goal is to destroy the MiniKnog and Big Ape.

“Cooking meat is easier if it isn't still screaming”
The florans are stupid. There is nothing else to say about their capabilities. They are powerful brutes living in tribes and most of them are just hunters. However there are a few of them, stealing technologies, and they made their tribes into spacefarers.
Also, they can’t finish a sentence without hissing.



“In the Aether they dwelt within the embrace of Kluex, the winged one above all.”
The Avians are the birdpeople of Avos. They use a strict hierarchy, with the Stargazers on top. They are the priests, the servants of Kluex, the god who created the wingless culture of birds. They believe their wings will return to them in the Aether. Heretics have to die of course. Many had to flee.
(Inspired by the Maya and Egypt)



„From our very genesis we were blessed to perceive beauty other races lack the capacity to envisage, and to share this sight is our gift unto them.”
Hylotls are famous because of their culture. They live in gigantic underwater cities – a magical place for all. They are bound together by art, family, love. They have the strongest social capabilities in the world. Florans almost drove them to extinction, but they fled into the seas, where now they live.

“Some of our brothers and sisters speak of a "truth" - that they have been awakened and that the rest of us are living in some sort of "simulation". This is no doubt a plague, and those struck with madness should be avoided for one's own sake.”
The Glitch was invented by a race which doesn’t exist anymore. All we know that they made a program to examine the cultural evolution of the people. They invented an artificial race for this. But after they died, the program stopped. A fault in their programming caused them to freeze in a medieval state. Some of them malfunction though – and they realize that there is a thing called spacefarers. And a lot of them joined the community.



The Novakid. A mystery to all. They are pretty new – probably the newest spacefarers. They are humanoids with a thick layer instead of skin, filled with plasma. They also do not have eyes: instead a symbol on their face. They are nomadic creatures, travelling through the stars. They also have no recorded history, no settlements, nor any kind of organized factions behind them. Therefore they did not join the TP, but if any of them wants to give up their nomadic behavior and settle anywhere: they are welcome.
