Beta-humanoids
A Beta Class Humanoid Lifeform. Part human and part animal. The property of the Corporation that created them.
Their job: Justification and Pacification of new worlds. Find exploitable resources and eliminiate dangerous indigenous lifeforms.
The Galactic Workers Alliance secured semi-human rights for Betas through a series of punishing strikes, forcing the Corporations to allow the Betas to buyback the cost of their birth and training.
Now some "Betas" have managed to purchase their freedom and have begun to make their way to the Rim.
The "Beta-humanoids" mod gives a chance for the Beta-humanoids races to be available at Colony start (PlayerColony and PlayerTribe), and to later appear as refugees, wanderers, and slaves.
I tried to make the Beta’s heads look correct with the vanilla hats and helmets, however the Powered Marine Helmet would not work, and I had to make new textures for it to allow for (short) snouts.
Includes an Options menu where you can set the chance for each Beta race type to appear.
Includes Options to include the Betas in the Tribal, Outlander, and Pirate factions.
