[quote=@Jones Sparrow] - Since we have already chosen Starlance's character as our pilot, would you be willing to change to a new position, or is that kinda a temporary one since they are a new member and not really a part of the crew yet? keep in mind we don't accept co-positions - What do you mean as ambassador? As most newly met races would speak with the Council, not Exploration crews. At most they would inform council of a new planet and if pushed maybe deliver the person to the Spire. Or is this just a position they hold on their planet and you wanted to state that fact? [/quote] Well I had a bit fo a problem with defining Ikeia's place. She's been alive for longer than the lifespan of half of the cast, so she's been around. Isn't everybody with a small craft a pilot by definition? :D She's only piloting the shuttle though, not a combat pilot, so if you need a drop to a planet, do a milk run back to the Spire or pick up a derelict probe of interest on the other side of the system, you call her rather than the fighters that have no cargo holds... *shrug* The Faira will be cold towards the idea of overarching galactic ruling body, they would preffer to make separate deals, at least in the beginning, and choose themselves whom to interact with, given their still fragile state and the power that could be brought to end them if the powers that be so desired. So anyone who will interact with other species will have an ambassadorial role by default, with her main task to evaluate the oter species - even if they are not the most representative individual of them, they could provide insight to their histories etc. It's more of a possible worldbuilding thing really. She's mostly going to be valued for her Mind-space related abilities I guess, like shielding a ground team or jumping the Monroe to safety if the drives give out and being a small scale AWACS.

[quote] - When you say the race is immune to all diseases, do you mean literally immune or that they have not been introduced to diseases to get sick and think they are immune? [/quote] They are as far as I can tell the only silicone based speices here, with vastly different biology (There IS a reason for that, but I don't want to spoil much, especially since even the faira don't know themselves). The bottom line is to think of them as organic semiconductor computers rather than life as we know it - Even their "genetic" information is kept as a wave function rather than chemical compound like DNA, so viruses are SOL, and carbon based bacteria and parasites just wouldn't survive in their organism. their homeworld was pretty much barren, with he Faira being one fo the few species to exist there in symbiosis with the rest, so no natural diseases to carry over form homeworld either. The Yhei probablz have the technology to develop some organism that oculd cause them trouble, but there are farmore effective ways to kill them all at this point :lol As far as any "Sole survivor" situations go... Anyone who kills a faira will have the rest of them set on a course to burn their homeworld and eliminate the threat. They are kinda bitter about that what with most of their kind being blown up by an exploding star xD I'd preffer the careful first contact scenario, at least initially.
