Skeleton Soldier are dead soldiers risened they carry any weapons to kill its target usually it carry's gun just like in my profile pic its a skeleton Soldier it can also be a skeleton avian soldier or anything else that became dead
That would be associated with magic unless there was a more scientific reason for the dead to be walking in Starbound. I am just suggesting is you add more. You can use this idea if you want I am not going to suggest it myself. You can come up with something cool and realistic for these skeletons like "these skeletons have been outfitted with robotic joints to enable them to move freely and attack living things. They are being probably controlled from an underground base somewhere nearby due to their basic recievers. They cannot chase me for 100 bricks(or whatever you want to call the measurement of the building materials)" You can also have more "elite" skeletons have plating on their bones and a better transmiter. For example "these skeletons have been outfitted with robotic joints and plated bones that enable them to move freely and attack living things. They are probably being controlled from somewhere underground due to their transmitters. They are more advanced than the other skeletons and can chase me around the whole planet." I do not mean to steal your idea or am forcing you to use mine, but i want to help a fellow Starbounder's idea grow and get noticed. All I can recommend is add more to what you have.
