Species

This page indexes the species ideas which have been developed for FreeOrion.

• Please see the instructions and guidelines here for creating new species ideas for FreeOrion.
• If your species, or one you care about, is in the Story forum, but isn't on this list, please, add it to this list following the pattern established.
• "Empahsis" is for a single word listing of the species most prominent strength. If we had Psylons, you would put down "Research".
• "Eleazar's Rating" is a simplified form of his personal evaluation found in this thread. It is neither official, nor final, but is offered for what it's worth as a tool to help sort through species descriptions. It goes from "5" = "Highly Developed" to "1" = "Weakly Developed".
• If other users are inclined to create evaluation threads of their own, they may add a column for their own ratings, if desired.
