Because of their completely different composition to other lifeforms, Novakid are sometimes unable to grasp the nuances of interracial social interactions, and have thus attained a slightly dubious reputation amongst other races. Since the Novakid have a short attention span, diplomatic relations can be strained at times. Charged with huge amounts of energy, these pieces of metal generate the hard plasma вЂњshellsвЂќ which stop their constituent gases from leaking вЂ“ if a Novakid is depleted of his or her vital gases, the energy contained within their brand is instantly vented into the very fabric of spacetime, leaving only a twisted metal symbol and a nearly undetectable warping of light around the area of death. The force that drives the Novakid is contained within the brand on their faces. This does not make them any less effective in combat, but has the effect of restricting their technology research (and any groundbreaking research is just built good enough before they lose interest in it). Though they are (generally) more intelligent and intuitive than the вЂњfleshyвЂќ races, their attention spans are lacking. These creatures, described by a Human astronomer as вЂњinterstellar gas-bag peopleвЂќ, have no known single origin point: that information is long lost, as the Novakid have little to no desire to record their history, or even pass it on to their offspring. General InformationДЇorged eons ago in the fusion furnaces of a now-dead star, the Novakid are a perfect example of natureвЂ™s emergent beauty.
