robertsspaceindustries.comMust say it does give me a little Kilrathi vibe.

Kilrathi + sea lion or something.

The dark, gritty, Kilrathi remake? Hopefully they've got their legal ducks in a row. :)

That doesn't look anything like a feline humanoid.

Well i haven't bought a gaming magazine in over 15 years but with a Star Citizen article i am inclined to go to the train station right now and buy me a Gamestar...

Nice abs.

The whole Space Barbarian trope is one that always makes me laugh, but still, that's very evocative art, there.

I want to kick his ass and steal his fighter!

Awesome!!!
It's kind of racist, you know? The idea that certain sentient species are just "evil" without any solid qualifiers, as I believe are the Vanduuls' role in Star Citizen.
I mean this alien race is but the others will probably be a wide spectrum. Secondly it doesn't sound like humanity might be portrayed as the idealistic good guy society either, I mean having to earn your citizenship? It being based off a Roman Republic as well implies it might be a bit different too.
I love the dystopian aspect of Star Citizen! Yes, other aliens seem more diverse. If anything, the Banu appear to be a more sophisticated, advanced species than humanity (from the lore I have consumed).
I'm thinking of compiling a lore post of all the little tidbits of released lore so far and maybe some summarization. I'm a big roleplay nerd so I'm excited for the prospects of this game to be be an immersive and engaging platform for solid character driven roleplay.
Do you know of one that already exists?
I don't, but the Star Citizen universe timeline seems like the closest thing to a lore bible currently:

Bluhh, there's a PDF of this whole thing out there but I can't find it.
