Not to be confused with the men of plasma.

Sometimes derogatorily referred to as "Hot heads" Plasmamen are sentient non-humans hired by Nanotrasen to fill in gaps in their Human workforce. Plasmamen are barred from most authority roles on Nanotrasen stations and are not protected by Asimov's laws of robotics.

History

Plasmamen are only a recently discovered species, operating out of large enclaves in the asteroid belts around Centration. Their biology allows them to subsist off the pure plasmic crystals found in the rock where they make their homes. In 2532 first contact was made, and shaky trade deals were worked out. Recently, several asteroid enclaves under "Rightful nanotrasen land claims" have voluntarily joined Nanotrasen's work crews as a source of income. Now, a select few have been allowed to staff the special Space Station 13 research hub, due to their experiences handling and working with plasma.

Gameplay

Plasmamen are a optional playable race. You can make a plasmaman character in the character panel.

Due to their Plasmic based biology, they spontaneously burst into flame in the presence of an oxidizer. They have special sealed suits to prevent this, and their own plasma gas tanks.

Note that as a plasmaman, the AI does not consider you human and is not obligated to listen to you. Also, certain crew members will show you depths of racism previously reserved for the clown. Centcom also maintains a strict "Human-Only" policy for Command Staff appointments. But hey, flaming skeletons!

The lores

Plasmamen have evolved from a new type of Plasma based life, where Plasma substitutes for the Carbon in a normal human biology. This life developed in and on the surface of asteroids in the Centration belts, until eventually Plasmamen emerged. After spreading from rock to rock, Plasmamen did not form a unified society, and instead former their own small societies of 10-100 people, living in carved out spaces inside the asteroids. Occasionally attaching engines to convert them into ships. They excel in gas works, and have minor skill in cloaking technology(their love of cloaked helmets comes to mind, though Nanotrasen has banned this aboard stations). However, the species has not created hyper-spacial travel, and operates on very outdated computer technology.
