This template is used for articles about races or alien creatures who are considered Sophonts.
SophontData Infobox Parameters | ||
---|---|---|
Base Information | ||
Parameter | Remarks | Recommended Values |
name | Name of sophont creature. | |
image | Example image for the sophont. Just the image name without formatting or the File: namespace. | Imperial-Sunburst-Green-wiki.png |
caption | Caption for the image. A short explanation to describe the image as shown. | |
type | Animal Classification giving the dietary preferences of the race. |
|
status | Sophont ranking and origin within the larger interstellar society. | |
terrain | The primary terrain used by the creature the sophont evolved from. The terrain the beast was part of informs the physiology and psychology of the sophont. 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 |
|
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'. |
|
Body Form | ||
Parameter | Remarks | Recommended Values |
confluence | The relationship of the creatures appearance as compared to human normal standards. |
|
typoid | Rough creature or lifeform categorization | One of the defined Bio-Identenoid types. |
size | Average or mean length or height of the sophont. Use the longest dimension in meters. | |
weight | Average or mean mass in kilograms. | |
Culture | ||
Parameter | Remarks | Recommended Values |
languages | The most commonly used language or languages. | Comma separated list of the languages. Do not add any formatting to the names. |
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 |
atmo | Atmosphere of the homeworld for the sophont. | The "specific description" column for the Atmosphere code from Atmosphere#World_Atmosphere_Classification_Codes_Table. |
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. Extant or Extinct. |
Source | ||
Parameter | Remarks | Recommended Values |
ref | Single definitive source of information from the source entries. | Use {{Ludography ref|name=xxx|page=yy}} |
canon | Is the sophont considered to be part of the Traveller Canon? | Yes or No |
alsosee | An additional reference article. Include links. | |
footnote | A footnote for any extra information that might be relevant. Usually not used. | |
Hidden parameters | ||
Parameter | Remarks | Recommended Values |
author | Authors of the original published materials. | Comma separated list of author names. Do not add any formatting to the names. |
era | Era of the information. Some information in the template and article are specific to a given era. Otherwise the default era (Milieu 1116, 1105) is assumed. | 1105 |
gravity | Range of Gravity of the home world. |
|
limbs | Total number of limbs used by a sophont: Arms, legs, or otherwise. Tails not included unless used for locomotion or manipulation. Non-permanent pseudopods not included. | Proper notation is three part: 1. Number 2. Dash 3. "Ped". E.g. 4-Ped |
symmetry | Physiological layout of the creature's limbs and external features. |
|
TL | The highest Technology Level achieved and maintained by the sophonts. | Use the Template:TL |
