Race

There are 8 playable races in StarDrive.  Each race has "physical", "sociological", and "history and tradition" traits which give them various bonuses (and penalties). These traits (along with unique ship designs) provide each race with a different feel and play style.

The Cordrazine are mind-controlling molluscs from Cordron Ot in the Cordron system. They have enslaved the gentle Owlwok race.

The deceptive and alluring Drayloks evolved on the planet of Drellok in the Drell system. Their government is the Draylok Council.

The Humans are a species of mammals who come from Earth in the Sol system, and their government is called the United Federation.

The Kulrathi are a bear-like race of warrior-poets hailing from Tor in the Rathi system. Their empire is known as the Kulrathi Shogunate.

The Opteris are a race of cybernetic beings resembling insects, linked in a hive-mind, who hail from Zero in the Opteris system.
