The Interspecies Dominion's world-classification system lists Earth as a deathworld. Any being foolish enough to explore a class 10 and above planet can only do so through the exercise of extreme caution. According to the Corti Directorate, Earth is class 12. Factors include: its many predatory species, highly varied climate, high gravity (1.43 times the galactic standard), and particularly virulent microbiology. A few dangers examplary of the planet are: tornadoes, earthquakes, wolves, bears, fungi, salmonella, and Clostridium tetani. Earth is of particular note for being the only deathworld to host a sapient species, humans.

Human-sized angry fluffy space-racoon-bear-dogs. Evolved on a class 9, so they have a similar outlook on life.
Allies of humanity (more-or-less).

[u]Corti[/u]
[hider=img][img]http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alien-grey.jpg[/img][/hider]
Arrogant, frail little gray men that genetically engineered their race to be intelligent. They try their damnedest to control their emotions.

[u]Vzk'tk[/u]

Mildly dimwitted blue giraffes, but very populous mildly dimwitted blue giraffes. Herbivorous with herd instincts, tend to defer to their cousin-species, the Rrrrtktktkp'ch.

Giraffes with way too many arms. Cousins to the Vzk'tk, assuming the role of caretakers. More intelligent, but also far fewer. Tend to be solitary.

[u]Guvnuragnaguvendrugun[/u]
Very furry giants with bioluminescent flanks. Pentachromats. Very deliberate and plodding, tend to take their time with anything, especially their language.

This roleplay is set in/based on the [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/wiki/ref/universes/jenkinsverse]Jenkinsverse[/url], a series of stories in the HFY subreddit. While helpful, it will not be necessary to have read through the main series. Each RP'er will be roleplaying a ship of independent aliens or humans or some combination thereof. The fleet has been assembled and hired to investigate things, explore places, and occasionally fight battles for a Corti information broker known as The Contact.

That's the basic premise.
