Maybe something happens in a red giant Novakid that is a sign the Novakid is gonna explode within a couple days? That's the only explanation I can think of, unless Bietol considered it something different. And now that you mention it, I do wonder exactly HOW the medical field works for Novakids.
Novakid is a great race to play. I would even go as far to say they are better than most modded and all base game races.
