Species

The galaxy is vast and as a result there are billons of alien species that inhabit it. While I enjoy world building, I don't enjoy it that much. So as a compromise I have created a handful of alien species that are common to the starting Star System of our game. Most species are just flavor for your character's backstory. Some provide an additional benefit or benefits. Treat them like an Influence.     If you want to create your own species feel free! If it's just flavor that's fun. If you'd rather they function like an Influence here is a list of perks (and where applicable their associated Hang-ups).  

Amphibious

  Perk- You can breath both air and water. You cannot drown in any oxygenated liquid.
Hang Up (Mandatory)- Your body dries out and so you need to spend 1 hour per day submerged in water to rehydrate yourself. If you can not you become Impared until you rehydrate.  

Heightened Senses

  Perk- When trying to track a target you gain Up Shift 1 to Alertness or Survival checks.  

Tough Skin

  Perk- You gain +1 bonus to your Toughness.  

Warrior Race

  Perk- Choose one Strength based skill. If you spend one Standard action psyching yourself up you gain an Up Shift 1 to that skill.
