type | Animal Classification giving the dietary preferences of the race. |
|
status | Sophont ranking and origin within the larger interstellar society. | |

This is a historical note about the source beast and preference for the Sophont for living conditions. One of the key characteristics of sophonts is their tool use, enabling them to inhabit any and all of the environments. |
|
locomotion | Mode of movement for the sophont or creature |
|
size | Average or mean length or height of the sophont. Use the longest dimension in meters. | |
weight | Average or mean mass in kilograms. | |
code | Not Displayed. The internal code used for this sophont creature. This is the first four characters of their name with any non-alphabetic characters replaced with a 'X'. |
|
Culture | ||
Parameter | Remarks | Recommended Values |

government | The primary social and government organization of the sophont's culture. Do not add any formatting to the name. | |
epoch | A grouping of three Technology Levels representing an extended development period. The Sophont epoch is the general range of technological development they have achieved and is available to their population. This impacts their economy and their interaction with the larger interstellar society. | |
psi | Psionic potential demonstrated by the members of the race. Does not include any cultural attraction or aversion to the use of psionics. |
|
Origin world | ||
Parameter | Remarks | Recommended Values |
home | Location of the world where the sophont evolved. | Please use the Template:WorldS to format the location: {{WorldS|<world>|<sector>|<hex>}}. |
uwp | The Universal World Profile for the planet. | use canonical format of: PSAHPGL-T, with no formatting. There is an popup to display the interpretation of the values |
pop | Not Displayed. Population multiplier for the Universal World Profile. Used as part of the UWP display. | number between 0 and 9 |
primary | The primary star or stars in the system where the sophont evolved. Use the standard stellar data format. | The standard layout for stellar types: <size><modifier> <type>. E.g. G2 V |
multi | Does the sophont have significant populations on worlds other than their home world? | Yes or No |
existing | Does the sophont still have any members living in the Traveller common eras? | Yes or No |
Source | ||
Parameter | Remarks | Recommended Values |

|
TL | The highest Technology Level achieved and maintained by the sophonts. | Use the Template:TL |
