The Imperial Races are the six principle species of the Terran Empire. They are classified as such because of the blood bonds that run between them. All Imperial Races are fertile with the other Imperial Races and are capable of birthing healthy Hybrid offspring.
Unless noted, values are the same for both male and female of the species.
Terrans: Homo Terranus Sapiens.
Homeworld: Terra.
Description: The dominant Imperial Race. Smooth skinned, with tones ranging from almost completely white to shades of black. Eye colors include Amber, Brown, Blue, Green, Gray, Red and every shade between. Hair colors range from black to white.
Physical Attributes: The most 'balanced' of the Imperial Races, Terrans are on average not as strong as a Krogan, nor as agile as a Na'vi or Quarian, instead falling in the middle of the spectrum. They are also marked by excessive pheromone production. Naturally Biotic.
Height: 7'4" to 9'
Weight: M: 300-450 pounds including augmentations. F: 295-445 pounds including augmentations
Batarians: Batarian Batarian Sapiens.
Homeworld: Batara.
Description: One of the two shorter Imperial Races. Batarians are distinguished from the rest by having evolved in cold weather environments, and being acclimated to such. Strangely, they are also completely bereft of hair and fur. Skin tones range from light green to shades of brown. Eye colors are typically shades of red, brown, and green.
Physical Attributes: 4 eyes. Very sensitive sense of smell.
Height: 5'10" to 6'8".
Weight: 200-300 pounds including augmentations.
Quarians: Quarian Advanticus Sapiens.
Homeworlds: Quaria, Ellasa.
Original Homeworld: Unknown.
Description: The smallest Imperial Race. Quarians are remarkably agile, and also have a larger mental capacity, as well as an almost innate knack for inventing and repairing technology. Skin tones are universally a shade of purple, ranging from almost neon pink to very deep violet. Eye and hair shades are also only a deep black.
Physical Attributes: 3 fingered hands, 2 toed feet. Double-Jointed.
Height: 5'8" to 6'8".
Weight: 185-275 pounds including augmentations.
Krogan: Reptilus Krogan Sapiens.
Homeworld: Tuchanka.
Description: The Bulkiest Imperial Race. Krogan are renowned for having great strength and constitution. Both males and females are dual toned, with the 'cover' typically being a dark shade of green, and the 'softer' parts being a light green to cream color. Eye color ranges from red, blue, black, green, and brown. Males have a crest and hump which typically matches their eyes in color, while females have enlongated snouts and tails.
Physical Attributes: Strongest Imperial Race. Skin tough as light armor, and resistant to acid. Warm-blooded semi-mammalian.
Height: M: 6'6" to 8'6". F: 6'8" to 9'2".
Weight: M: 385-485 pounds including augmentations. F: 365-470 pounds including augmentations.
Raptarans: Reptilus Terranus Sapiens.
Homeworld: Paladin's Rest (Palaven).
Description: The second newest Imperial Race, the evolution of the Turian species. Body archetype is based on the ancient Velociraptor predator of Terra. Another 'balanced' race, they are not quite as strong as a Krogan, or as agile as a Na'vi or Quarian, they are a good balance of both. Skin tones range a wide spectrum, shades of red, green, black, blue, yellow and orange are common. Eye color ranges through the same shades.
Physical Attributes: Engineered Imperial Race. Retractable claws. Same internal structure as a Terran. Warm-blooded semi-mammalian. Naturally Biotic.
Height: 7'4" to 8'8".
Weight: 285-420 pounds including augmentations.
Na'vi: Navis Terranus Sapiens.
Homeworld: Pandora.
Description: The newest Imperial Race, though officially preceding the Raptarans by a matter of weeks. Very agile and fast, just barely edging out the Quarians, and in a larger frame. Mammalian race, covered with a very short, even coating of fur. Coloring is universally a shade of light blue, with some having stripes of darker blue. Hair color is typically black, while eye color is nearly always an amber or yellow.
Physical Attributes: Enhanced sense of smell and sight. They have a far greater reaction to Terran pheromones than the other Imperial Races. Exposure engenders a sense of trust and greater adrenal production. In rare cases a mild sense of euphoria can also result. Completely compatible with Terran enhancements.
Height: 7'4" to 9'4".
Weight: 285-385 pounds including augmentations.
