Lavaland and the depths of space possess a wide array of ghost playable roles, ranging from some simple farmers to trained soldiers. All roles have unique objectives, characteristics and ultimately unique goals, they all have different ways they are expected to tackle dealing with the inhabitants of lavaland and the station.

Check "spawners" under the Ghost tab to take one of these roles, if any are available. Not all of these roles will be available to play in one shift due to the random generation of space and lavaland.

Free slots for fugitive hunters and crafted golem shells also appear in this menu. Posibrains and most antag roles do not. If you want to be a space pirate but missed the roll, you'll need to find their ship and click a sleeper.

Occasionally host a book club.

Ancient Station Role
Spawn on a derelict station abandoned for over one hundred years. Die to lack of oxygen. Suicide when you destroy all your food supplies. Die when the space carp kill you.
