SPECIESCLASSIFICATIONWHAT IT PLAYS LIKE
H. SapiensORIGINAL LINEAGEThe flexible one. Short-lived by the standards of the table, and the reason anybody left the cradle.
MekanimalsUPLIFTEDComedy and revolution in the same body. The chicken coup that ended a civilisation is canon.
Neo-SapiensSOULWEAVE-BOUNDA millennium of memory and a mandate you did not choose. Organised, efficient, quietly haunted.
BotsSYNTHETICObedience versus awakening. The First Directive says Continue. The Flare says something else.
DilluviansABYSSALPressure-adapted, bioluminescent, merit-obsessed. The stars are loud. The abyss is older.
SynthfairiesELEMENTALNanobot dust and spore technology as magic. Water, fire, air, earth, fungi. Pick your element.
AliensORGANICUnderwater, overheat, aerial, subterranean. Adaptation is the personality and the stat line.
Non-Organic AliensNOAIntelligence built from unfamiliar matter. The species the Alliance has the fewest files on.
