Your vassal species must be linked with one of the existing four factions, which their main government will have pledged allegiance to. | * **Vassal Species are part of a single Faction**.

| * **Vassal Species are distinctive**. Your vassal species must be distinguishable from the three main faction species – Humans, Tulaki and Elysians. Therefore all vassal species must include at least some elements of physrep that unambiguously distinguishes themselves from other species. So, very human-seeming aliens like the Betazoids in Star Trek (whose only distinguishing feature is their lack of an ocular iris) will be refused. Same goes for reptilians who might be confused for Tulaki (unless you incorporate significant other elements like feathers or similar), or pointy-eared humanoids who resemble Elysians. Vassal races are a good excuse for you to use cool and elaborate costume, which we would encourage. | * **Vassal Species are distinctive**.

| - | * **Vassal Species are at a social disadvantage within their host faction.** In most Factions, Vassal species will be discriminated against to a greater or lesser degree. The Empire regards their vassals as lower-caste, the Tulaki consider them to be lower status until they prove themselves as individuals, and the Elysians tend to be condescending (and Vassals are unable to use certain Elysian psi-tech). Vassals are probably most well-received in the Free Union, but even there they are playing catch-up to the humans. In addition to the in-character disadvantage of this, buying Reputation Skill levels for your own Faction costs 3 points per rank for Vassal species instead of 2. | + | * **Vassal Species are at a social disadvantage within their host faction.** In most Factions, Vassal species will be discriminated against to a greater or lesser degree.

| * **Vassal Species, or elements of them, can be vetoed or altered by the Game Team**. Please [[contact us]] if you want to create a vassal species to play – we would like to integrate your characterisation into the game, but there may be some elements or themes that don’t fit into the game world or that we would rather not see explored. We are unlikely to say no to a concept, but may have some alterations to allow it to fit into the setting. | * **Vassal Species, or elements of them, can be vetoed or altered by the Game Team**.
