== Background ==
== Slime People Naming Schemes ==
The slime people grew and gradually evolved on a  Xarxis 5. This being the name given by Earth scientists, the actual name not having an English translation, (from Bubblish) as well as never having a consistent name in Bubblish (Many slimes don't have a word for their planet, nor is any name generally accepted among them). Despite being called such, Slime People are in reality not slimes at all. The slimes that are grown and raised in Nanotrasen Xenobiology labs are in fact a different species, related to Slime People in the way that primates are to humans; with similarities, but not, in fact, the exact same race, or even direct ancestors.  
As a result of insurmountable language barriers, traditional Slime People names are completely impossible to translate or pronounce.


Despite this, the slime people themselves do not often bother much with the theory, happily associating heavily with Slimes and acting as such.
Slime people willing to use Galactic Common normally use the standard first and last name formula used by most other species.


The Slime People were first discovered, surprisingly, after the discovery of non-sentient slimes. A Nanotrasen scouting vessel saw interest in Xarxis 5 due to its interesting topography , but primarily the profit that could be made by extracting possibly new and rare minerals from its depths. Slimes were abundant, and therefore scouts were able to bring back some living samples. It wasn't until the scouts returned a while after that they found their previously empty camps inhabited by Slime People.

|}Slime People are made up of, for a lack of a better word, transparent jelly, that can come in many different colors. Internally, they possess a simple skeleton made up of hardened slime tissue, as well as a slime core located in their head, which is technically the center of their being. Slime People use vibrations of the slime core to interact with the rest of their tissue to move around and perform other actions.


The slime people there were found to be sentient and willing to allow basic tests such as the consistency and biology of their forms. Noting that slime people did not require air, and were not educated in the ways of capitalism, Nanotrasen saw an opportunity. The slime people, not having any space-faring vessels, were eager to see the universe, as they were told. Hired as cheap labor, NT determined a security risk was minimal, and their initial lack of knowledge about mostly anything that would hinder their loyalty or otherwise.  
Slime people often have a layer of specially shaped flesh that resembles hair, styled similarly to that of Humans. They also have the fascinating ability to recolor their body tissue by ingesting chemicals of a given colour.


Slime people don’t have inherent genders, but often assume either a female or male gender to adjust to the culture encountered in most of the galaxy.


== Behavior ==
== The Bubblish Language ==


Slime people are a generally friendly sort, and thus, if social, are prone to attracting friends. On the other hand, different groups of slime people of course had different opinions and ways to go about things, some being more territorial or more open to advancement.  
Slime People traditionally communicate with a series of bubble-like sounds made by their cores. It’s impossible to use the language unless one is a Slime Person. Direct translation proves incredibly problematic as well, as the language has a very abstract nature.
The dialect, still widely used on Xarxis 5 is natural to all Slime People, and every single member of the species is capable of speaking it.


Slime people are tight knit, and commonly show a kinship for others of their kind, so long as they share a similar set of ideals.  
As Slime People were until recently a very primitive species, the language lacks a single, well-defined written representation and many different written forms of it can be encountered on Xarxis 5.


== Culture ==
Slime people are socially diverse; they range from highly social groups of them, large enough to create cities, all the way to smaller nomadic groups or solitary slimes. Each of these groups often have highly distinct ideals, and technology.


Slime people do not have formal schools of science or other intellectual studies, notably not possessing any space-faring gear, or even signs of industrialization, when they were first discovered.  
== The Slime People Homeworld ==
Xarxis 5 is a temperate world, with lush plant life, as well as a large amount of native fauna.
The planet has a centralized government, but is still occupied by numerous smaller Slime People tribes, which sometimes engage in conflict.
Thanks to multiple resource gathering operations performed by Nanotrasen, the world is slowly becoming more civilized, with small towns gradually being constructed to house larger populations of the indigenous species.


Slime people were mostly minding themselves and getting by day to day, and ensuring their companions do the same. A lack of natural predators and dangers meant that cities were not a common sight on Xarxis 5. As such, slime settlements were obviously rather small in size.

In the year 2471, a small Nanotrasen probe discovered life in the Xarxis system, and our company quickly rushed to establish communications with the species. Following a few years of diplomatic talks, first towns started being built, funded by Nanotrasen.


== Biology ==
Education and employment was provided for thousands of Slime People, laying groundwork for setting up a government capable of ruling the planet, as well as bringing it up to the galactic standards in terms of technology.


Slime people being a very peculiar species, have somewhat unique methods of simply living day by day.  
Even to this day Nanotrasen continues to invest in Xarxis 5, making the local economy flourish and helping unite the tribes with the local administration.


To speak, the slime core within the person vibrates accordingly to generate the sound needed to communicate in the human language. Bubblish is spoken by a certain combination of popping noises, easily understood by other slimes. To touch and feel, a manipulation of cells is used in a similar the human hand is. To hear, slime people use a much similar function as when they speak; their cores pick up vibrations from spoken language and interpret them into words. Movement itself is accomplished through a kind of "hivemind" among all the cells in the Slime person. The limbs move individually, and are for the most part loosely directed by core vibrations, while moving on their own influence.
== Slime People Culture ==
Slime People have developed multiple, vastly different cultures up to the current day. As the tribes were fairly primitive at the time of their discovery, the beliefs are similar to ones often encountered in other paleolithic civilizations.


The slime core is fueled by H2O, which a Slime person's body is abundant with. Slime people are, on average, 97% H2O. When an open wound is present on a slime person, water will begin to pour out in large amounts as the surrounding slime cells dry up. Dry slime is very goopy in texture, and eventually will degenerate to a slightly dusty, clay-like substance once completely devoid of water.
Slime People beliefs generally revolve around the elements, naming water, fire or the sky as different gods responsible for the creation of the universe. Most of the religions have been phased out, however, as multiple members of the species, exposed to the rest of the galaxy, had their beliefs challenged.


Underneath the surface slime makeup of a Slime person lies a much harder, tough substance which serves as the base infrastructure of a Slime person's body. Being similar in design to a human skeleton, the tough substance is slightly spongy, however only for approximately half an inch. From then on and deeper, it is quite durable. The cells of a Slime person cling to this hardened slime, creating the shape of a Slime person's body. If one of these 'slime bones' are broken, slime cells will pool into it the cracks, consequently causing them to be pinched upon attempted movement. This forces that section of the Slime person's body to be incredibly painful, and for it to be very difficult to use properly.
Slime People generally don’t live in families in the classic sense. Larger communities are much more often encountered on Xarxis 5, similar to those of the indigenous tribes. With the culture of other species seeping into the customs of Slime People, though, many of them find it comfortable to live on their own, away from their “tribe”.


Upon eating food, a Slime person's body will immediately form around the object, deconstructing it, producing energy for the Slime person. The waste from the food will be eventually ejected from the body naturally. As a human sweats, a Slime person 'sweats' out excess chemicals and waste. A Slime person does not need to eat using their mouth, however the process of chewing food often makes the process of deconstructing the edible substance go by faster.
== Present Day ==


In regards to their physical makeup, Slime People are believed to have evolved from slimes that slowly started to settle in areas with higher levels of water (up from basically none), gradually building a tolerance to said substance over millions of years, at the cost of losing the chemical "Slimium" which made the slimes highly tolerant to physical abuse.
With the government of the planet still in its early stages, with a basic fleet and a quickly developing economy they’re on their way to becoming a player on the galactic arena. With the help of Nanotrasen, they were able to drastically improve the quality of life on Xarxis 5.


== Relations with other Races ==
Still, many Slime People choose to leave Xarxis 5, trying to find a better life for themselves somewhere else in the galaxy.


Slime people can seen as the only race that is overall completely neutral. With no outside influence and no intentions to be hostile, Slime People often have to make up their own individual opinions on the other races going about, due to many unrecorded 'first contact's with other species and no general hivemind of hatred or liking.
'''Remember, crewmember, mutual respect and cooperation are the cornerstones of success and productivity!'''

The Bubblish Language

Slime People traditionally communicate with a series of bubble-like sounds made by their cores. It’s impossible to use the language unless one is a Slime Person. Direct translation proves incredibly problematic as well, as the language has a very abstract nature. The dialect, still widely used on Xarxis 5 is natural to all Slime People, and every single member of the species is capable of speaking it.

As Slime People were until recently a very primitive species, the language lacks a single, well-defined written representation and many different written forms of it can be encountered on Xarxis 5.


The Slime People Homeworld

Xarxis 5 is a temperate world, with lush plant life, as well as a large amount of native fauna. The planet has a centralized government, but is still occupied by numerous smaller Slime People tribes, which sometimes engage in conflict. Thanks to multiple resource gathering operations performed by Nanotrasen, the world is slowly becoming more civilized, with small towns gradually being constructed to house larger populations of the indigenous species.

Slime people, up until recently, lived in fairly isolated, primitive tribes. With farming being still a rather recent discovery, the civilization was still very far from discovering technologies that would allow space flight.

In the year 2471, a small Nanotrasen probe discovered life in the Xarxis system, and our company quickly rushed to establish communications with the species. Following a few years of diplomatic talks, first towns started being built, funded by Nanotrasen.
