    Introduction
    The Neki (pronounced "neck-key") is a mod about what it would be like for such a species to exist in the universe of Starbound. While the way other species treat them may vary from borderline fanatic to extremely unpleasant, the Neki themselves see the world and its inhabitants in an innocent, wondrous and very pragmatic way. They see things for what they are, without prejudice; the world is their playground and dining hall.

    If you're interested in learning more, it is highly recommended to play the Intro mission, inspect the world around you, converse with NPCs more than once, and look for their codices.

    Origins
    Opinions vary, but it is most widely believed that the Neki were the brainchild of a renowned and eccentric, if somewhat deranged, entrepreneur of old. Their virtually limitless resources allowed for an extensive research programme which employed some of the the brightest scientific minds of a generation, and would go on well beyond their own lifetime; its' findings would, however, remain largely unpublished. The research would end up being abruptly overtaken by the U.S.C.M and vanishing from the public eye practically overnight - with rumors surfacing shortly thereafter of much of having been stolen by the Miniknog.

    A short while later, the Neki would start appearing on Earth, seemingly out of nowhere, invoking a wide range of reactions - from outright repugnance to unbridled fascination. Despite their somewhat animalistic appearance and behavior, they've proven themselves to be remarkably sapient, crafty, and more resourceful than many of their Human counterparts - causing many of the Humans to treat them with a degree of resentment and even hostility.

    The Neki have a playful and often pesky demeanor, always looking for stuff to eat, places to sleep and things to play with. They stand out (among Humans) for having large ears, powerful (and often fluffy) tails; short and soft fur in a variety of colors covers their body, and a lush mane stretches from their heads down to the tips of their tails.

    You are one of the Neki.
    How you ended up at the Terrene Protectorate Аcademy, is yet unclear.

      Relatable... I made them in large part because I didn't enjoy playing most other races, so I made one that I'd personally want to play ^-^

      Thank you! ♥

    I really love the design :D sadly my game crashes every time i try to create my char, dunno why:c

      Thank you!

      I've found what may have been causing the crash - the .species file was missing from the download for some reason. I've added it back and re-uploaded the mod, please download it again.
