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, converse with NPCs more than once, read the scan descriptions 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 the brightest scientific minds of a generation and would go on well beyond their own lifetime, but its findings would remain largely unpublished.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 of much of it being stolen by the Miniknog surfacing not long after.

A while later, the Neki would start appearing on Earth, their existence invoking a wide range of reactions – from outright repugnance to passionate attraction. Despite appearances, they have proven themselves to be remarkably sapient, crafty and more resourceful than many of their Human counterparts – resulting in many Humans being resentful and hostile towards them.

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 sometimes fluffy) tails, fur in a variety of colors covering their bodies and a lush mane that stretches from their heads down to their tails.

You are one of the Neki.
How you ended up at the Terrene Protectorate Аcademy, is anyone’s guess.
