Sandbox6: Difference between revisions

* '''Alpha Centaurans'''- Very much like their Terran bethren both physically and characteristically.  Only slight differences in appearance- Alpha Centaurians tend to be a bit stockier and hardier than the average Terran- exist.  

* '''Andorians'''- A violent and passionate people, they are foils to the Vulcans.  However, this does not make them any less valuable a race; their expertise in the fields of weapons technology and intelligence have been of great value to the Federation.  Their physical appearance is bipedal, with BLUE skin color (that varies in tone from plae to darker BLUEs), white hair and antennae which seem to be an afterthought of evolution, much like the human appendix.  

* '''Terrans''' - Humans.  Evolving on Earth, Terrans have spread out across the known galaxy.  There are numerous human colonies both within and outside the Federation and many humans live on worlds founded by other races. Many Terrans are driven by a drive to explore the universe around them and to seek out the unknown.  As such, a large portion of the members of the Star Fleet are Terran.  Terrans have also had a pivotal role in shaping the government of the United Federation of Planets.  

* '''Tellarites'''- A volatile race marked by physical features that can only be described as "piggish"- blunt, flat nose, pointed ears, short and rotund in standing.  Everything about their way of life is war-like, down to their approach to negotiation- they view negotiations as a form of verbal warfare, and treat it as such.  In all walks of life, they are aggressive, blunt, and rarely prone to compromise.  However, these traits, though often thought of as negative, have served them- and the Federation- well in the past, especially in times of war.  Tellarites often occupy regular positions in the upper levels of operational command, and as instructors in basic strategy and tactics.  

* '''Vulcans'''- Perhaps second only to Terrans in terms of influence and power within the Federation.  They share a desire to learn and explore; however, the subjugation of their emotional qualities and aversion to most practices of warfare make them very different than their Terran counterparts.  Consequently, a large number of Vulcans choose more peaceful and academic positions, making wonderful Ambassadors, doctors and scientists.  Physically, they are slightly taller and thinner than humans, though hardier and stronger, with a copper-based blood that tints their skin Green.  They also have distinctive, pointed ears.
