Variants[]
Variants alter the race appearance. They can be chosen in the character creation menu. Unlocking a race will also unlock its first variant. The second and third variants of a race unlock when the race's unlock requirements are fulfilled a second and third time, respectively.
If a race's unlock requirement can only occur once, the second and third variants will instead unlock on subsequent deaths.

Lore[]

| Name | Lore | Default Weapon |

|
"Deep within the Astero System lies the Grand Citadel. Many laws that govern the Galaxy are formed here, often created by the Royalites. This race is highly intelligent and seeks to spread fairness and justice." | Mage Gauntlet |
|
"Centurions are highly skilled warriors who take pride in their Aether-rich home planet of Gallatria. Many factions across the Galaxy have sought to control the Centurion home planet, only to find failure due to the Centurions' combat skills and massive flying insectoid mounts." | Aetherlance |
|
"The Illuminate reside within the Chaos system, forging new types of life with their Arcane Thread. Some say that staring into an Illuminate's eyes will grant you a glimpse into the future. That is if you don't melt into a steamy pile of goo first." | Aetherstaff |
|
"Want a pack of Slithium Slugs? A gram of Floob? The only way to get your hands on illegal galactic drugs is to meet a Shlaami. They are cunning, mischievous, and know how to throw a party." | Aethergun Mk.IV |
|
"Fishfolk are deployed at any aquatic planet to cultivate and gather nutrient filled plants. Some of the most potent healing products are crafted from extremely rare underwater materials, which is only possible due to the happy and hardworking Fishfolk." | Aethergun Mk.IV |
|
"Gekkos are often found in high ranking Galactic Squads due to their unmatched acrobatic combat style and deadly finesse on the battlefield. It is rumored that coming in contact with Gekko blood will leave your wounds with rotting tissue and poisonous fungus." | Aetherblade |
|
Climbing over mountains of junk and waste on the desert planet Bagdaboo, Nomads have mastered the art of exploration in harsh terrain. They scavenge for Droid fuel and rare antique metals to sell at the Galactic Market for profit. | Aetherlance |
|
"Half machine and half Centurion, Deathrazors are the elite tactical assassins of the Gallatrian Army. There are few beings who have entered combat with a Deathrazor and lived to tell the tale. Most die instantly in a flurry of blades and toxic smoke." | Aetherblade |
|
Hivelings use their agility and teamwork to swarm opponents and attack from above. It is believed that Hivelings communicate with one another from hundreds of miles away, making them useful for tracking goods and managing commerce. These people will die of loneliness if they cannot find a colony to be part of." | Aethercannon |
|
Not much is known of these Aether-sensitive warlocks. What all Race do know is that when crossing paths with an Ancient, something catastrophic is coming. Ancients only emerge from their tombs when they sense a great disturbance in the Galaxy. | Mage Gauntlet |
|
"Divine. Elegant. Powerful. The fabled Lightsworn are only unleashed upon the galaxy after a hero sacrifices himself for the greater good. These holy beings destroy anything evil standing in their path." | Aetherstaff |

|
"Deep within planet-stone mines you will find Goblins at work. These hard working and sometimes troublesome people are employed in fields of intense physcal labor due to their immense strength and strong work ethic. Just don't piss one off." | Aetherblade |
|
"Swampfolk are Fishfolk gone mad. It is said that in Fishfolk culture, one must consume a rotting Chaosberry in order to test one's mental fortitude. Those who do not pass the test go insane, experiencing physical mutations and the unexpected amplification of magical abilities." | Aetherblade |
|
"The Tiki are an accidental race created from a Gallatrian Alchemist. By infusing a Great White Tree with liquid Aether, the tree bore magical fruit. Eventually the fruit fell and bursted, allowing the magical Tiki to emerge. They quickly found and ate their creator." | Aetherblade |
|
"Titans are pure mechanical beings used for constructing massive planetary structures. Despite them being just moving metal parts, some say they make the greatest of friends and can have real feelings. The Council is currently at odds with the legalization of intermechanical marriage." | Aetherblade |
|
"The Trogon are a bird-like race that are mainly used for transporting goods. They can travel at high speeds in the air, carrying weight that is well over a ton. Some say that their planet of origin was overtaken by a big purple monstrosity." | Aetherblade |
|
"The harsh desert planet of Bagdaboo is home to many types of creatures, one of which is the armored-like Scaled. These reptilians ride across the dunes in hopes of pillaging weak colonies and stealing their precious metals." | Aetherblade |
|
"Florbgon love to eat. Florbgon love to sleep. Florbgon love to Dance. Florbgon love to sneak up behind you to suck the brain matter out of your ears with their writhing tentacle mouth." | Aetherblade |
|
"The jolly Oompa are as dumb as they come. They like to sit at popular intersections of galactic freeways with their mouths open, consuming whatever passerbys throw at them. Jumping into an Oompa's mouth and trying to escape was a national pastime for awhile until too many people got eaten. It is now illegal to do." | Aetherblade |
|
"Studying for thousands of years, the Wizened are a mythical race that form new philosophies of government. They've seen the rise and fall of many nations, and believe that the Galactic Council is the best we can achieve despite widespread inequality and poverty in the galaxy." | Aetherblade |
|
"The Necro is a remnant of the dark ages. Tales are told of a flowing darkness that could take any form and consume planets whole. This darkness eventually was encased in a magical ore, but recent reports show that these ores are releasing darkness at an astounding rate. The Necro are born out of this darkness." | Aetherblade |
|
"Golems were first discovered on the massive earthen planet of Roc. They are a peaceful race that don't want much contact with the galaxy. Unfortunately, their home planet was blasted to dust in the 10 year war. It is quite rare to come across a Golem." | Aetherblade |
|
"Avalanchers roam the frost worlds in the Galaxy's outer rim. The rare Ice Crystals they harvest are widely used due to their 100+ year lifecycles of energy production. Despite tough work conditions and low pay, Avalanchers still find joy from the simple things in life." | Aetherblade |
|
"The mysterious Boogoo are constantly screaming. Being the only race banned from Galactic Markets, Boogoos generally stick to themselves. Many people believe Boogoos are easily scared of everything around them, promting them to scream bloody murder nearly every second of their existence." | Aetherblade |
|
"Over 1000 years ago there was a curse set upon the people of Palamecia. They were imbued with immense power, but would forever be disfigured as a cost for their greed. The Afflicted are descendents of the Palamecians but they no longer want power; they just want to be loved." | Aetherblade |
|
"At the dawn of the Galaxy's existence was a massive planet-like structure that floated through the void of space. For unknown reasons this Mega Rune exploded in on itself, spreading magical shards throughout space and time. The Runefolk collect these fragments and aim to discover their true purpose." | Aetherblade |
|
"The Overseer spawns minions to do its bidding. These slimey eyeball creatures conduct their work within the shadows, for one day the great Overseer will consume the sun and rule the Galaxy of darkness." | Aetherblade |
|
"Bunyips are from the flower planet Begonia where they pick flowers all day. Some of the most potent potions are crafted and brewed on this planet, all thanks to the magical Bunyips. Any visitors who bring weapons are immediately ripped to shreds because Bunyips have really sharp teeth and a deep hatred for weapons." | Aetherblade |
|
"An Infernal is born within a dying star every 1000 years. They travel the cosmos in hopes of finding another of their kind, but always die before another Infernal is born. Their misery and frustration is reflected in the whipping flames that writhe along their bodies." | Aetherblade |
|
"Worgs have been banned from all Galactic Markets. They simply cannot behave themselves due to an insatiable hunger for flesh and blood. Some say that Worgs eating their own family members is not that uncommon." | Aetherblade |
|
"The highly intelligent and skilled Broccolites beam from planet to planet in search of rare materials. Typcal lifespans for Broccolites range from 120 to 300 years since they can regrow body parts. Broccolites fingers are a famous delicacy in the Eastern Grid of the Galaxy, and no one even has to die!" | Aetherblade |
|
"Ever since the Age of Metal swept across the Galaxy, pioneers and adventurers have mysteriously disappeared when mining for rare ores. Some believe that those missing people are actually imprisoned within an ironclad, forced to travel the Galaxy as a lumbering mass of armor." | Aetherblade |
|
"Saviors are Wanderers that have ascended time and space. They freely travel from dimension to dimension, making profound impacts on timelines everywhere. One can only hope that beings as powerful as these do not possess malevolent intentions." | Aetherblade |
|
