Unconventional Life are lifeforms that are considerably different than conventional life in terms of biochemistry, morphology, composition, and even of fundamental life processes.

Library Data Referral Tree[edit]

Please refer to the following AAB Library Data for more information:

Description (Specifications)[edit]

While most unconventional life is traditionally considered to be dry life, some kinds of wet life are also often considered to be unconventional.

Traditional Unconventional Life[edit]

Dry life
Not flesh and blood
May exist in forms of matter other than solids or liquids such as gaseous or plasmeic high-energy forms
May be terrestrial in origin
More often is jovian or aterrestrial in origin
Baryonic matter
Conventional timespace

Untraditional Unconventional Life[edit]

Wet life with a twist

Unconventional Lifeforms[edit]

While lesser-known and far more exotic lifeform types also exist:

Exotic Biologies
- Plantimals, hybrids of animal and plant life, exhibiting features of both.
- Silicoids, life based upon the use of Silicone rather than carbon for structure. Some Silicoids use both Carbon and Silicone.
Exotic Morphologies
- Centauroids
- Floaters
- Motile Plantoids
- Triphibians
Extremophiles
- Anaerobic life
- Cryomorphs, life adapted to very low temperatures.
- Halophiles
- Methanophiles
- Thermomorphs, life adapted to very high temperatures. Many Thermomorphs are also Silicoids as Silicone is a heat-resistant material.
Unconventional Environments
- Jovionoids: Creatures native to gas giants.
- Vacumorphs, creatures native to the vacuum.

-Although the existence of some of the more exotic lifeform types is widely disputed by the scientists of the [[Imperium]]. Some even argue that there is not adequate proof of the existence of many of these exotic lifeforms.
