Playable Races
Human
Humans are the most versatile of the races in Dark Space. And as such, they have the most classes available to them.
Asari
Asari are the more peaceful and long lived members of the galaxy. Biotics are their main speciality. Asari warriors are often labelled as Huntresses, Asari also have the option to be 'Asari Scientists'. Most Asari encountered are in the Maiden stages of life. Asari are genderless but resemble blue skinned human females.
Turian
Turians are considered the military force in the galaxy. While not as strong as Krogans, they are still quite powerful. Turians are often employed as soldiers or special agents. Turians are often referred to as avian types, similiar to the leap from bird to dinosaur.
Salarian
Salarian are a shorter lived species. Most do not pass the age of 40. Intelligent and quick witted, they often have problems dulling themselves down to the speed of slower creatures. Salarians are more technical and most usually lack Biotic powers.
Elcor
Elcor are a more hardy species. Slow moving and quite strong, they cannot move or think as fast as other species. They often use VIs for warfare, a close knit species, they are rarely seen outside their own homes. Valued for their practical wisdom, Elcors are often quite respected despite their slow nature. Due to their nature, Elcors cannot possess any Biotic Skills nor can they wear standard armor. Armor designed for Elcors can be quite expensive. On a side note, Elcors can often use weapons normally designed for transports due to their massive strength and size.
Krogan
Krogan are a reptilian species that was 'heightened' for the Rachni war. All Krogans are infected with a genetic virus called the genophage which renders most sterile. They are tough and strong, and while rare, they often hire themselves out as mercenaries. Krogans do not often use biotics, as most prefer outright combat. Those that have managed to adapt and use biotic implants are commonly referred to as Battlemasters. The elite of the Krogan forces.
Quarians
Quarians are a nearly human race. The Quarians usually found outside the Flotilla are almost always exiles or young Quarians on their pilgramage (a rite of passage into adulthood). Quarians are the ultimate engineers, and are responsible for the creation of the Geth. Quarians do not use biotics, instead, they prefer to use technology to their benefit. Quarians, however, all suffer from a weakened immune system.
Volus
Volus are a short stocky race of humanoids. They rely on the Turians for defense and support the larger species in fairly much every aspect they require (this relationship is symbiotic as the Turians support them in fairly much everything). Volus require a pressurized suit in order to exist outside their natural home world. They are masters of trade and are, in fact, responsible for the current state of the Galatic Economy.
