Each race has three racial characteristics, chosen from the list below. You may choose each characteristic only once. Racial bonuses on planets usually apply only to worlds with at least 1.0 inhabitants and only once per full . Smaller worlds and fractions do not grant benefits.

You cannot change your racial bonuses once they have been selected, though you may attract population of other races as immigrants. Additionally, you are not bound by the examples or by choices made by other players - you can make your own racial variations if you wish.
