{{version|3.2}}
Every [[Worlds#Habitable worlds|habitable planet]] has the potential of developing different kinds of intelligent beings that may, naturally or [[Pre-FTL species|not]], develop technologically. Sometimes, such beings reach a crucial point in their development that allows them access to [[FTL]] technology and, as a consequence, the ability to become full-fledged interstellar empires.

A species may or may not equate with an [[empire]]. At first, every empire will be made up entirely of its original species but eventually, it may include other species through conquest, migration pacts, enlightening pre-FTL cultures, accepting refugees, or some events.

The portrait of a species can be changed through pop modification if the {{iconify|Genetic Resequencing|24px}} technology is researched, but the species class cannot be changed. Some species do not allow changing portraits.

== Species identity ==
{{SVersion|3.2}}
At galaxy generation species are divided into species class groups, parent species and sub-species.

There are 10 different species classes, representing species with similar observable characteristics, including its morphology or physical form and structure, its developmental processes and its biochemical and physiological properties.

A parent species is the first spawned species of its kind (a ''kind'' is defined by its species portrait and name). A sub-species is created when a pop modification template is applied to a parent species or another sub-species and is considered to be the same species for the purposes of xenophobia, xenophilia and species rights.

Species within the same class will be less affected by xenophobia and xenophilia, with the effect increasing if they share the same portrait. If two species are created during galaxy generation with the same portrait and name they will be considered the same species.

== List of species classes ==
{{SVersion|3.2}}
Each species portrait available to start a new empire will belong to one of the following classes: Arthropoid (arthropod-like), Avian (bird-like), Fungoid (fungus-like), Humanoid (human-like), Mammalian (mammal-like), Molluscoid (invertebrates), Reptilian (reptile-like), Plantoid (part of the [[Downloadable content#Additional packs|Plantoids Species Pack]] DLC), Lithoid (part of the [[Downloadable content#Additional packs|Lithoids Species Pack]] DLC), Necroid (part of the [[Downloadable content#Additional packs|Necroids Species Pack]] DLC), Aquatic (part of the [[Downloadable content#Additional packs|Aquatics Species Pack]] DLC) and Machine (part of the [[Synthetic Dawn]] DLC).

Each species can have [[traits]] and will have climate preference based on its homeworld.

The first ruler of every empire can be customized.

=== Humanoid ===
The humanoid species class uses different models and voices for each gender. Some humanoids feature hairstyle customization. Each portrait has its own diplomacy voice.

=== Machine ===
Machines are not a naturally evolved species but rather an artificial one that can be constructed with the required technology or if by starting as a machine empire. Each portrait has its own diplomacy voice. When an empire first creates robots they'll use the portrait that matches the creator species' class.

== Compliments and insults ==
{{SVersion|3.2}}
When contacted, empires with a high opinion may compliment you while those with a low opinion may insult you. The flavor text depends on the ruler's species. Species that wear and do not wear clothes also have a special diplomatic insult with each other.
