Though open hostilities have been over for a long time, there is still plenty of animosity between the two races, though the average Hylotl will claim there really isn't and they've totally forgiven the Floran for being a bunch of bloodthirsty murderous brain-dead savages.Īs with the other player races, Hylotl characters are given a set of uniquely-styled Armors, their own Ship type (with included Pet), and two unique Mech bodies. It was a war the Hylotl fared poorly in even with their advanced technology, as a massive Floran invasion of their homeworld forced the Hylotl to settle under the oceans. Though the "why" and "how" has been lost to history, the two races were effectively at war with each other for a long time. The Hylotl have a long and ugly history with the Floran. Some find the Hylotl to be stuffy, arrogant, and passive-aggressive, which the Hylotl deny and figure you'll see the error of your ways once you've become a bit more enlightened like they have. Thus, the ability to use weapons with skill and proficiency is similarly a fine-honed art passed down through the generations.
Hylotl pride themselves on seeking peaceful solutions to problems, though they recognize that sometimes their side of a philosophical debate on the merits of not dying carries a little more weight when backed up with a sharp enough blade. The Hylotl-owned Letheia Corporation is one of the largest companies in the galaxy, providing everything from entertainment to space stations and starship fuel to people across the stars.
This leads to an interesting clash of Hylotl cultures in their massive underwater cities, with hand-painted calligraphy next to bright neon signs advertising the latest fashions, and quiet paper-walled garden rooms not far from the heavy bass thumping of a "bubbstep" dance club. Despite their highly-advanced technological level, most of their structures are still made of wood bedecked with ornate carvings. They have a long and rich history of art, science, and philosophy, with reverence for tradition and meditation. The Hylotl are a semi-aquatic race with trinocular vision, highly-adaptable genetics and a relatively short lifespan, which over the generations has led them from being a strictly land-based species to one that can live comfortably in aquatic environments, though they still lack the ability to breathe underwater. The Hylotl are one of the seven playable races in Starbound, and one of the six races entrusted with an Ancient artifact.
