Their ears are alert, but are soft and frequently flop back against their heads at high speeds or in emotive response. A secondary pair of ears are located where human ears are, on the sides of the head. While larger than a human’s and gently tapered (some describe them as “elfin”), the secondary ears are for all intents and purposes without special function. | |

| <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| Unlike many advanced species through the galaxy, the Leithans began as prey creatures on their homeworld, and have over the millennia developed several defensive adaptations to ward off the very large, unintelligent predators that attacked them. The first feature most people notice about a Leithan is her natural armor: while the tauric lower body is completely covered with thick, leathery scales (befitting the species’ reptilian origin), the flanks, arms, legs, and tail are protected by a chitinous secondary layer. Leithan armor is thick enough to stop most low-caliber bullets, and even deflect low-grade laser fire at range; more importantly for the species, however, it is capable of withstanding the enormous pressure of most titanic predators’ crushing maws, giving Leithans some defense against their native hunters.
| | 与银河系许多先进物种不同，莱森人起初是母星上的猎物生物，几千年来发展出了多种防御性适应，以抵御攻击他们的巨大、低智掠食者。大多数人注意到的第一个特征是莱森人天生的装甲：半兽下身完全覆盖着厚实的革质鳞片（符合该物种的爬行类起源），而两胁、手臂、双腿和尾巴则有一层几丁质第二层保护。莱森人的装甲厚到能挡住大多数低口径子弹，甚至能弹开远程射来的低功率激光；不过对该物种更重要的是，它能够承受大多数泰坦级掠食者粉碎性巨颚的可怕压力，让莱森人对自己本土的猎手有一些防御力。 |

| | 其次，莱森人进化出了六条强健的腿，使他们在短距离冲刺时拥有无与伦比的奔跑速度。莱森人的耐力并不优于平均水平，但他们的速度通常足以在疲劳袭来之前避开或甩掉危险。 |
| Second, the Leithans have developed six powerful legs, allowing them unparalleled running speeds over short bursts. Leithan endurance is not above average, but their speed is usually enough to avoid or outrun danger before exhaustion sets in.

| <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
| | 第三，莱森人在装甲板上进化出了明亮的警示花纹。这些黄色的生物荧光图案对每个莱森人都是独一无二的，用来吓退一些大型掠食者，尤其是在夜间。他们警示灯的颜色已成为莱森文化中的标志，许多莱森人会选择染发或用金色条纹和涡纹装饰自己，为天然防御增添效果。生物荧光条纹的亮度可变，由主人下意识控制：在极度激动或痛苦时，它们会更亮地闪烁，而在平静放松时，灯光几乎完全黯淡。 |
| Third, Leithans have adapted bright warning signs on their armor plates. These yellow, bioluminescent patterns are unique to each Leithan, and serve to frighten off some larger predators, especially at night. The coloration of their warning lights has become iconic in Leithan culture, and many Leithans choose to dye their hair or decorate themselves with gold stripes and swirls, adding to the effect of their natural defense. The bioluminescent stripes have a variable brightness, controlled subconsciously by their owner: in times of extreme emotion or distress, they flare brighter, while when calm and relaxed, the lights are almost completely dimmed.

| The Leithan homeworld, a small planet orbiting Alpha Centauri (hence the common nickname for the species, Centaurins) is a vast, cold-weather desert and shrubland for the most part, punctuated by several dozen small seas, but no proper oceans. The atmosphere is naturally very dense and humid, with a water content much higher than that of Terra or Ausaril.
| | 莱森人的母星是环绕半人马座阿尔法运行的一颗小行星（这也是该物种常见昵称「半人马星人」的由来），大部分地区是广阔的寒冷沙漠和灌木地，点缀着几十片小海，但没有真正的海洋。大气天然非常浓密潮湿，含水量远高于泰拉或奥萨里尔。 |

| | 该世界最引人注目的特征是几种真正泰坦级的食肉掠食者。从六层楼高的、体型过大、智力原始的人形爬行动物，到隐约让人想起神话巨龙、翼展最大可达二十码的飞行生物，莱森人崛起于一个对他们相当敌对的世界上，在那里他们不过被视为泰坦级掠食者的猎物。由于世界的天然敌意，许多莱森人会尽快搭上能赶上的第一班飞船离开，因此莱森族已成为银河核心区分布最广的移居或移民种族之一。相对较少的人选择迁往边境地带，尤其是在星球热潮期间，因为莱森人天生对危险和暴力胆怯，而边疆粗野的生活方式并不适合他们。 |
| The most notable feature of the world are several species of truly titanic, flesh-consuming predators. Ranging from overly large, rudimentarily-intelligent humanoid reptiles standing six stories high to flying creatures vaguely reminiscent of mythological dragons whose wingspan can extend twenty yards in the largest cases, the Leithans arose on a world quite hostile to them, where they were regarded as little more than prey for the titan-class predators. Due to the inherent hostility of their world, many Leithans take the first flight out they can catch, and as such, the Leithan race has become one of the most widespread transplant or immigrant races throughout the galactic core. Relatively few choose to migrate to the fringe, especially during the Planet Rushes, as the Leithans are inherently skittish about danger and violence, and the rough-and-tumble nature of the frontier ill suits them.

| |
| <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| The Leithans propagate their race much as many reptilian species do. At certain times of the year (usually twice per year), the female will enter heat, and her body will begin producing a powerful attractive pheromone. This will cause nearby males to seek her out: due to the relative mortality of their race, most Leithan females will accept most if not all suitors to help ensure pregnancy. After a brief gestation period of about one month, she will lay a clutch of eggs, usually in her home or that of a trusted friend and caretaker. An average clutch is between four and six eggs, each of which is nearly two feet long. Eggs hatch after another month-long period, during which the mother will become highly defensive and easily agitated as her maternal instincts insist that she defend her “nest.”
| | 莱森人繁衍种族的方式与许多爬行类物种相似。一年中的某些时候（通常每年两次），雌性会进入发情期，身体开始分泌一种强效的吸引性信息素。这会使附近的雄性前来求偶：由于他们种族的相对高死亡率，大多数莱森雌性会接受大多数（如果不是全部）求偶者，以确保怀孕。经过约一个月的短暂妊娠期后，她会产下一窝卵，通常在自己的家或信任的朋友兼看护人家中。平均每窝四到六枚卵，每枚近两英尺长。卵经过又一个月的孵化期，期间母亲会变得高度戒备、极易被激怒，因为她的母性本能坚持要她守护「巢穴」。 |

| | 在[[United_Galactic_Confederacy|U.G.C.]]于星球热潮计划早期阶段「开化」莱森族之后，该种族的繁殖习性有了一些变化——尤其是那些远离母星生活的人。由于外星生存率大幅提高，莱森雄性和雌性在选择伴侣时变得更加挑剔，娱乐性性欲也高得多。虽然莱森人仍然难以接受一夫一妻制的概念，大多数人会在几个伴侣之间自由切换，但雌性在「发情期」允许任何雄性接近她的观念如今几乎绝迹。 |
| After the [[Special:MyLanguage/United_Galactic_Confederacy|U.G.C.]] “uplifted” the Leithan race during the early stages of the Planet Rush scheme, the race’s reproductive habits have changed somewhat — especially among those living away from the homeworld. With a dramatically higher survival rate off-world, Leithan males and females have become more comfortable in being selective with their partners, and recreational sex drive has become much higher. While Leithans still have a difficult time with the concept of monogamy, and most freely move between several partners, the idea of a female allowing any male to approach her in her “heat” period is nearly nonexistent now.

| | 与许多智慧物种不同，莱森人与其他物种交配时生育率几乎为 0%。混血莱森人几乎闻所未闻，而且几乎总是基因操纵和人工受精的结果。正因为如此，加上外星莱森人更高的性欲，许多莱森人两性都发现自己很容易成为「交换伴侣」玩家，急切地跳过求爱和约会过程，向其他物种的几个迷人伴侣敞开自己，因为他们的结合几乎零风险。 |
| Unlike many sapient species, Leithans have a nearly 0% fertility rate when coupling with other species. Halfbreed Leithans are nearly unheard of, and almost always the result of genetic manipulation and non-natural fertilization. Because of this, and the higher sex drive among offworld Leithans, many Leithans of both sexes find themselves to be easy “swingers,” and eagerly skip the courting and dating process to open themselves up to several attractive partners of other species, since their couplings are virtually no-risk.

| <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| Before being uplifted, the Leithans existed as a nomadic species, desperately clinging to their precarious existence in the shadows of titanic predators. Divided into small tribes scattered across the desert, Leithans bands wandered from water source to water source. Over time, their technology advanced in small but important bursts: they discovered methods of water collection from the atmosphere fairly early on, and made great strides to domesticate smaller reptilian creatures which were able to aid them in hunting and alert them against impending attack.
| | 在被开化之前，莱森人作为一个游牧物种存在，在泰坦级掠食者的阴影下拼命维持摇摇欲坠的生存。分成散布在沙漠中的小部落，莱森人群体从一个水源游荡到另一个水源。随着时间推移，他们的科技以小而重要的爆发形式进步：他们很早就发现了从大气中收集水分的方法，并在驯化能够帮助他们狩猎、提醒他们防备突袭的小型爬行动物方面取得了长足进步。 |

| | 一些莱森人试图在高墙城市中保护自己，由于这种保护和稳定，第一次接触发生时，他们比游荡的表亲略微更成功、更先进。许多围城城市开发了原始的火枪时代枪械和大炮，能够击退掠食者的袭击——一座城市甚至制造了原始火箭来抵御空中攻击。自 U.G.C. 在第三次大星球热潮中开化他们以来，莱森城市已成为对抗昔日掠食者的真正堡垒，这个种族也热切地适应了邦联带来的先进科技。事实上，他们适应得如此之好，以至于当今莱森人被视为杰出的工程师和技术员，尤其是在机器维护和机器人技术方面。许多顶级无人机、炮塔和无人载具都产自半人马座阿尔法或莱森殖民地。 |
| Some Leithans attempted to protect themselves in high-walled cities, and because of this protection and stability, were marginally more successful and advanced than their roaming cousins when First Contact happened. Many of the walled cities had developed primitive flintlock-era firearms and cannons, with which they were able to fend off predator attacks — one city even created primitive rockets to guard against aerial attacks. Since their uplifting by the U.G.C. in the Third Great Planet Rush, Leithan cities have become veritable fortresses against their one-time predators, and the race has eagerly adapted to the advanced technology the Confederacy brought with it. They have adapted so well, in fact, that in the modern day Leithans are valued as exceptional engineers and technicians, especially in regards to machine maintenance and robotic tech. Many top of the line drones, turrets, and unmanned vehicles are produced in Alpha Centauri or on Leithan colonies.

| | 在社会层面，莱森人被认为非常开放、友好和乐于合作。当团队合作和群体忠诚是你在被六层楼高的怪物吃掉前最大的防御手段时，随和易处是值得的。大多数莱森人高度共情，使他能敏锐察觉他人的情绪状态，并在小而紧密的朋友群体中最自在。孤独的莱森人几乎闻所未闻，大多数人沉迷于社交活动——尤其是在核心世界，那里夜店、舞厅以及几乎任何能找到的派对上都有莱森人的常客身影。 |
| Societally, Leithans are regarded as being very open, friendly, and cooperative. When teamwork and group loyalty are the biggest defense you have against being eaten by a six-story tall monster, it pays to be easy to work with. Most Leithans are highly empathetic, making them keenly aware of others’ emotive states, and are most comfortable in small, close-knit groups of friends. Solitary Leithans are almost unheard of, and most revel in social activity - especially in the core words, where Leithans are constant features of nightclubs, dance halls, and just about any party they can find.
