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.

  • Floater
  • Flyer
  • Flyphibian
  • Roller
  • Static
  • Swimmer

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'.
  • The code for Humaniti is "Huma"
  • The code for K'kree is "KXkr".
  • The code for Mon Kalamari is "MonX"
Body Form
Parameter Remarks Recommended Values
confluence The relationship of the creatures appearance as compared to human normal standards.
  • Human = Head, 2 arms, 2 legs, torso, abdomen, etc.
  • Humanoid = (...minor deviation from humans)
  • Semi-humanoid (...major deviation from humans)
  • Non-humanoid (...radically different from humans)
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. Most sizes are in meters, but sometimes other metrics are appropriate.
weight Average or mean mass in kilograms. Most sizes are in kilograms, but sometimes other metrics are appropriate.
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. This value is being reverted to TLepoch.
  • It has been left as is for now to benefit a user.
psi Psionic potential demonstrated by the members of the race. Does not include any cultural attraction or aversion to the use of psionics.
  • None
  • Psi-Null
  • Low
  • Standard
  • High
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?
  • Being reverted to extinct, the old placeholder. Left in place as a courtesy to a user.
 Yes or No. Extant or Extinct.
