\\Humanoid descriptions

\*RACE0D00 The Humans are the master manipulators of the Orion Sector, and have ruled or actively attempted to do so for thousands of Galactic Cycles.  Sly and greedy, they take by force only what they cannot take through negotiation or trade.  Recent Humans claim to be descendants of the Ancient Orions. Although most empires of the Orion Sector scoff at the arrogance of such a presumption, there is enough uncertainty in Humanity's origins to lend credibility to this "ancient legitimacy"...
\*RACE0D01 The Mrrshans were nearly wiped out during the War of Example. Though the Great White Fleet attacked and destroyed every known Mrrshan colony, they did miss one colony that just been recently established. The anger that burns within each Mrrshan drives them to rebuild their colonies, navy, and military. Just so that one day the Mrrshan might have the one chance to grab the last New Orion by the neck and choke the life out of him...
\*RACE0D02 The Psilons have always been devoted to the pursuit of knowledge, a devotion that borders on fanaticism.  During the Dark Age, in exchange for favor from the Antaran overlords, the Psilons willingly allowed the Antaran geneticists to experiment on and manipulate their bodies to increase their capacity for learning and research.  The Psilons of today are the result of centuries of horrific genetic reconstruction: mentally powerful, but with their bodies weakened to the point where they must use hover chairs to move and mechanical waldoes to physically manipulate items in their world.

\\Etherian descriptions

\*RACE1D00 The Imsaeis are the most keenly observant of the Etherean races, which plays well with their ingratiating manner.  Their ability to gain acceptance through good listening and humility has made them valuable participants in diplomatic negotiations, and has provided them with vast amounts of information and intelligence.  The Imsaeis always know more than they say, and while on the outside they seem to be agreeable and engaging, secretly they are constantly striving to be in control of events around them.
\*RACE1D01 The Eoladi give almost everyone a slight pause when they are first encountered, as each individual possesses his own personal code of ethics. Once understood and accepted, however, the Eoladi are valued society builders and competent leaders.  These skills came from the aftermath of the Etherean War, when all Etherean societies were shattered and needed to be rebuilt from scratch.  The Eoladi still believe that they have much to teach to the other Orion Sector races in the ways of personal and social improvement.

\\Geodic descriptions

\*RACE2D00 Curiously unique, the Silicoids represent a true divergence from other life and its origins in the Orion Sector. They are believed to have come about from the shards of a giant sentient crystal that was destroyed above their home planet. Each Silicoid begins as an asexually created shard, incubated in a nutrient bath, and eventually grows into an individual with all of the prior knowledge of its "parent." This efficiency comes at a cost of speed, however, so forethought and careful planning are key to any successful Silicoid society.

\\Cybernetic descriptions

\*RACE3D00 Calling themselves the "Pure Ones" to signify their complete separation from the corruption of biological matter, the Meklar are masters of mathematical and computer sciences, and their mechanical efficiency makes them both supreme industrialists and formidable foes in combat. Contemptuous of organic life forms (the "flesh beasts" of the Orion Sector), they also eschew their technologies, including economics and ecological science.  They despise the Cynoid, their Cybernetic brothers who have not yet rejected their biological origins.
\*RACE3D01 The Cynoid have not completely turned their back on their biological origins, and are cyborgs, unlike the completely artificial Meklar.  The Cynoid are ruthless and brilliant when it comes to economic calculations and financial matters.  They understand the value of money, how to work it, how to use it, and how to exploit it in every way possible.  Outstanding barterers, they are often interested in improving the lot of their citizens to make them more productive and, hence, more taxable.

\\Ichthytosian descriptions

\*RACE4D00 The Trilarians are one of the oldest races in the Orion Sector, and are known for being extreme traditionalists.  They are a peaceful race, and their society places great emphasis on art, architecture, and philosophy. They have changed very little since the War of the Depths and the Second Exile, trying desperately to regain the glories of their past while preparing for the new future that awaits them in the Orion Sector...
\*RACE4D01 The Nommo are a cephalopodic species that once coexisted with the Trilarians.  They left after the War of the Depths to found their own empire, based on their more radical and militaristic beliefs.  They believe they are descended directly from the "Old One," the god of the first Ichthytosians who brought them wisdom (and who, ironically, was an Antaran scientist who began the first steps of genetic modification to the Ichthytosians).  This delusion that they are "children of god" has occasionally led to holy wars against those who might deny them their birthright, most notably the Trilarians who still lay claim to what the Nommo consider "their" homeworld...

\\Harvester descriptions

\*RACE5D00 The Harvester Project was the result of the Antarans' quest for a biological agent that would ravenously infect most life forms and either kill them or render them mentally docile and obedient. It was a major endeavor, with dozens of research labs working on various facets of the project. And, in the end, the Antarans succeeded in breeding a parasite that did exactly what they wanted it to do. Other races fear and despise the Ithkul, and not without cause, for the many terrifying tales of their destructive power are unfortunately quite accurate.

\\Insectoid descriptions

\*RACE6D00 The Klackon Hive Mind is the ultimate picture of a harmonious society working for the greater good of all.  The Klackons revere this purity of social form, not even noticing the cost in creative or original thought. This unity of purpose makes the Klackons brutally industrious and organized, with leaders born for their tasks and directing the masses without question.
\*RACE6D01 The Tachidi are among the largest races in the Orion Sector.  Like the Klackons, they are extremely industrious and productive, but they have overcome the limitations of the Hive Mind and now view the universe with insatiable curiosity.  This curiosity is their biggest challenge, however, as it is the curiosity of a child, one that does not know that you can hurt the puppy if you pet it too hard...

\\ Saurian descriptions

\*RACE7D00 The Sakkra are closest genetically to the original Saurians that forced their own evolution and left the Ichthytosian homeworld in exile thousands of cycles ago.  They are highly aggressive, easily angered, and carry a bitter scaly patch on their shoulders.  Their age-old hatred of the Ichthytosian species flavors every aspect of their society, and their drive to build and expand is often a pretext for finding and eliminating every trace of their ancient enemies.
\*RACE7D01 The Raas were bred by their fellow Saurians as highly productive slave laborers, and were sold and used throughout the Orion Sector until the end of the Great War.  They orchestrated a vast and bloody revolution that ultimately earned them their freedom.  They left to found a new society, with their own governments and religion.  Their industrious natures are still there, and now they finally have a chance to work for themselves and take their place in the history of the Orion Sector.
\*RACE7D02 Grendarl society relies on two core ideals: loyalty and indifference to physical hardship.  Their clan-based social structure emphasizes placing the group before the individual, with supreme honor resting on the concept of death before failing the Clan.  They are warriors, deriving just as much honor and glory from battle with their foes as from supporting the Clans.

\*RACE8D00 The Harvester Project was the result of the Antarans' quest for a biological agent that would infect most life forms and either kill them outright or render them mentally docile and obedient.  It was a major endeavor, with dozens of research labs working on various facets of the project.  And, in the end, the Antarans succeeded in breeding a parasite that did exactly what they wanted it to do.  Now that parasite has been unleashed, and the Orion Sector races are right to be afraid of a species dedicated to wiping them out to the last.

\*RDIPLOMG Slightly improves other races attitudes towards you by modifying their initial reactions to your race.
\*RDIPLOMA Uses the default settings for reactions.
\*RDIPLOMP Slightly reduces other races attitudes towards you by modifying their initial reactions to your race.

\*RGOVERNA Sets your initial government types to one of the Absolutionist Series. This Series includes Despotism and Monarchy. Absolutist governments demand that one's primary loyalty be to the State. The Leader may be seen as merely a symbol of the State, as its servant, as its guiding force, or even as the State personified. In any case, Absolutist governments give their Leaders a relatively free hand to guide their governments as they see fit.
\*RGOVERNL Sets your initial government types to one of the Transitional Series. This Series includes Oligarchy, Constitutional Monarchy and Corporate Governments. Transitional series regimes are hybrids that combine characteristics from several different government types. For this reason, they often appear as the result of revolutions, where populations who have grown dissatisfied with their old regime attempt to improve it by grafting on features from other government types they admire. 
\*RGOVERNR Sets your initial government types to one of the Representative Series. This Series includes Democracy, Parliamentary and Republic.  The overarching purpose of Representative governments is to promote the good of individual citizens. When the good of individuals conflicts with the good of society as a whole, Representative governments generally side with individuals. For this reason, ordinary members of society are much more likely to be enfranchised under Representative governments than most other regimes.
\*RGOVERNC Sets your initial government types to one of the Collective Series. This Series includes Hive and Unification. Collectivist series governments demand that one's primary loyalty be to society as a whole. While virtually all government types claim to promote the general welfare of the society they rule, non-Collectivist regimes are all based on the assumption that people will resist government actions to some extent, whether because of self-interest, honest disagreements about the direction society should go, or sheer perversity. Thus, most governments are designed with the goal of minimizing public resistance to government policies in mind; some try to achieve this by using force to keep the population in line (e.g. Despotism), while others attempt to ensure that the government will only pursue policies a majority of the citizens already support (e.g. Representative series governments). By way of contrast, Collectivist series governments are premised on there being a fundamental harmony between the government and the governed, such that citizens will happily do whatever the government demands of them. When this condition is met, Collectivist governments can be extremely effective. However, many populations are simply unable to achieve the kind of social consensus necessary to make Collectivist government workable

\*RCREATIA Uses the default technology calculations
\*RCREATIP Increases the chance of having a technology overrun by 5% and decreases the odds that the overrun is beneficial by 5% if it occurs. Also decreases the chances of an overrun being reported by 5%.

\*RSPECIA1 Production is natural to your race and +.5 is added to the manufacturing capacity of your planets.
\*RSPECIA2 By being skilled traders the benefits of trade agreements is increased by 15%.
\*RSPECIA3 By being tolerant the negative effects of pollution are reduced by 50%.
\*RSPECIA5 By understanding what other races are thinking this increases all areas of diplomacy for your race.
\*RSPECIA8 Since your race has a background of Antaran knowledge your chances of discovering Antaran technology are increased by 20%.
