Notice: Some species lore is incomplete. You can help by expanding it

Most species have naming conventions, which are commonly used patterns when naming species. These are simply customs, not rules that players will get sanctioned for not following. Crew members may have names that are unconventional for their species (ex. a Diona named Follows-the-Sun, a conventionally Reptilian name) or even fall outside any conventions (ex. a Reptilian named Haj-Reev), so long as they stay within the server's rules.

There are currently 10 space-faring species in Trauma Station which Nanotrasen deems fit for employment. Each one is distinct in their appearance, strengths, and weaknesses, with a few job requirements:

All species must be capable of equipping the same tools and items.
All species must understand and speak the language Tau-Ceti Basic.
Employees capable of metabolizing reagents and experiencing their effects are strongly preferred

Humans

Biology

Humans have a very large brain in a head that is very large for the size of the body. This large brain enables a range of attributes, including the development of complex languages and the ability to make and use a complex range of tools.
Humans are very long lived, with an average age at death of nearly 80 years old.
Humans lack fur. Although there is localized hair covering the head and auxiliary regions, in terms of protection from cold, humans are almost naked. The reason for this development is still much debated.

Technology and Lifestyle

Often regarded as the godfathers of technology, humans had developed Lathes and Automation well before the age of space travel.

Shuttles, Ships, and Stations

In 2055, shortly after the end of WW3, the 'First Contact Incident' occurs when a Vox raider shuttle crash lands into Northern Europe, decimating the capital of Switzerland.
In 2065, the first commercial spacecraft took to the stars, after a now defunct company stole the Vox shuttle from the government of Switzerland, and swiftly patented the alien technologies within, loaning them out to companies such as Nanotrasen.

Language

The word human derives from the Latin word hūmānus, meaning "of man" or "earthly being."
Humans on Earth have a long history of language, though everyone hired by Nanotrasen is expected to understand and speak Tau-Ceti Basic
Common naming convention (ex. John Smith)

Nutritional Needs

Human nutrition is typical of omnivores. Requiring a balanced input of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals; With few very specific needs.

Relations to Society

Humans in all civilizations are social animals, which use their language skills and tool making skills to communicate.
Communication enables civilizations to grow and allow for the production of art, literature and music, and for the development of technology.
The deployment of these skills has allowed the human race to largely dominate most regions of space, to the detriment of most of the other species

Reptilians

Slime Persons

Biology

The majority of Slimes take on the form of a small blob, measuring about 27mm (about 1 inch) in its 'child' stage, growing up to a maximum of one foot tall, high, and wide. This is considered the 'adult' stage, where a slime stops physically growing
