图鉴：西米人

人类专门设计出来、不会把任何东西炸上天的种族。

名称（单数与复数）： 西米人（源自分类目名 Simiiformes／类人猿）

Sexes: Male, Female

Height, Weight, Hair, And Eyes: As terrans.

Skin: Fur on their forearms and lower legs, with human-like skin everywhere else.

Features

Simii are very similar in appearance to humans, as they are both part of the primate family. They have long, prehensile, monkey-like tail, and large, rounded ears that sit high on the sides of their head. All simii have a ‘birthmark’ similar to a lined barcode on the back of their neck.

Their noses are somewhere between a human and a monkey’s nose, slightly darker than the surrounding skin, and more button-like in appearance. Above their upper lip, they have a small monkey-like line traveling vertically upwards, stopping just before their nose.

On their body, simii typically have soft fur on their forearms and lower legs. Some, but not all simii also have a lighter shade of fur on their upper legs, biceps, and up their sides. Their faces, torso, bellies, and groin area are typically smooth and furless (though the latter does have pubic fur).

All simii have hand-shaped feet that can be used to grab and manipulate objects, just like terran primates.

西米人拥有极其强大的免疫系统，这既是祝福也是诅咒。它能在大多数已知病毒和细菌进入体内时将其杀死，却也会在救命药物和变身疗法生效前将它们一并消灭。

西米人对任何形式的身体变化都极其抗拒，无论这种变化有益还是有害，包括植入物。

历史

西米人是以地球灵长类为基础、经过基因设计的种族。在高效而安全的星际旅行发明之前，人类设计他们来代替人类本身。他们的身体经过设计，能够抵抗深空中对 DNA 的辐射损伤，以及目的地的未知病原体。

尽管仍有许多西米人在从地球前往最终目的地的途中死去，幸存者成为现代西米人的祖先。

西米人殖民与人类抵达之间漫长的时间间隔，让这个工程种族有机会获得真正的智慧与独立。在地球人与西米人之间发生多次激烈冲突后，地球太空联盟承认他们是独立种族。从那以后，人类不再干涉西米人，他们之间的关系与人类和其他外星种族的关系大致相同。

直到今天，西米人出生时颈后仍会带有条形码胎记，这是他们最初被设计出来时遗留下来的痕迹。由于这种扫描技术早已过时，即使在西米人之中，也很少有人知道这个标记最初的用途。

西米人并不是人类派往外界的唯一基因改造灵长类种族。这些种族与西米人统称为“原种”。

环境与社会

西米人居住在许多类似“狂野西部”的殖民世界上，这些世界没有共同的政府。他们的本性很传统，也极其抗拒文化影响。西米人会与外来者打交道、热情招待客人，却不太愿意让外来者永久融入自己的社区。

大多数西米人的城市和城镇毫无规律地散布在各自星球上，只受地方法律而非其他政府管辖。家族纽带十分深厚，被逐出西米人社会是仅次于死亡的最严厉惩罚。

西米人的职业通常由父母传给子女，性别分工也非常严格。这导致许多不满的西米年轻人走进银河社会，试图改变自己的人生处境。

Reproduction

Simii have identical reproductive features to their human cousins, and do not experience the effects of oestrus.
