If two species are created during galaxy generation with the same portrait and name they will be considered the same species. Species within the same class will be less affected by xenophobia and xenophilia, with the effect increasing if they share the same portrait.

A sub-species is created when a pop modification template is applied to a parent species or another sub-species and is considered to be the same species for the purposes of xenophobia, xenophilia and species rights. There are 14 different species classes, representing species with similar observable characteristics, including its morphology or physical form and structure, its developmental processes and its biochemical and physiological properties.Ī parent species is the first spawned species of its kind (a kind is defined by its species portrait and name).

Some species do not allow changing portraits.Īt galaxy generation species are divided into species class groups, parent species and sub-species. The portrait of a species can be changed through pop modification if the Genetic Resequencing technology is researched, but the species class cannot be changed. At first, every empire will be made up entirely of its original species but may eventually come to include other species through conquest, migration pacts, enlightening pre-FTL cultures, accepting refugees, or some events. Sometimes, such beings reach a crucial point in their development that allows them access to FTL technology and, as a consequence, the ability to become full-fledged interstellar empires.Ī species is distinct from an empire, as a population of any given species can in theory function as fully-fledged citizens of any given empire, however every empire will be assigned a specific founder species (designed through the empire creation screen) that is treated as the default in species rights and other mechanics. This article has been verified for the current PC version (3.6) of the game.Įvery habitable planet has the potential of developing different populations of intelligent beings that may, naturally or not, develop technologically.
