At the top of these towers, there would be two unarmed Avians standing at the edge of the Tower. Originally, there were Avian Dungeons that resembled tall towers inhabited by guards. Devout avian citizens were known simply as the flightless. The grounded meanwhile were depicted far less, and what little lore they did have was not favorable to them, being a parody of the famous 'God Delusion'. Back then, the Stargazers were far more fanatical (to the point of representing the definition of insanity). The majority of what changed was in Lore that was ultimately discarded in the 'Giraffe' updates. These sets can also be crafted at the Spinning Wheel and Sewing Machine.īeta development & differences The Avian did not undergo many changes in the Beta versions of the game from their early iterations, at least as far as the direct gameplay elements are concerned. These four sets are also used to clothe randomly-generated Avian NPC villagers. These items have no defensive capabilities whatsoever.

While race-specific crafted items can be traded between characters of different races and used freely, there is currently no mechanism to allow a character to craft other races' unique items, or obtain a different Ship (and Ship Pet) in any capacity, without modding the game.Īn Avian player has four sets of race-specific Starter Clothing to choose from in the Character Creator, plus the standard-issue Protectorate T-Shirt and Protectorate Vest. The Avian equipment has a distinctly ancient South American look to it, though their stats are the same for all other race's equipment at the same Tier.Ĭrafted weapons are the same for all races, save for the pistol-packing Novakid. Some have crafted terrestrial flying ships and make their lives in piracy, and many others have joined multi-racial organizations like the Terrene Protectorate.Īs with the other player races, Avian characters are given a set of uniquely-styled Armors, their own Ship type (with included Pet), and two unique Mech bodies. Calling themselves 'Grounded', they have taken to the stars and formed their own colonies. This bloody theology does not sit well with all Avians however, and a growing number have rejected the words of the Stargazers and the divinity of Kluex.

Ceremonies to achieve this state of pure being include ritualistic sacrifices of captured enemies, and an elaborate procession that culminates in the most devout, chosen by the priests, climbing a tall tower and taking a leap of faith, their spirit breaking free of their mortal prison and flying into the Aether, as their now-discarded body plummets to the ground below.

An Avian can only be reunited with Kluex by shedding their mortal body while keeping the truest of faith in their hearts. The Avians crossed into the material world, an act punished by stripping them of their ethereal wings, dooming them to be forever flightless. According to their religion, the Avian once existed outside the mortal plane alongside their god, but grew jealous of the mortals' pleasures. These enigmatic power sources are mined solely by the Stargazer priests on their homeworld, and power everything from simple lights to spaceships capable of interstellar travel.Īvian culture is centered around the worship of Kluex, the 'Winged God of the Aether'. But the Avian are very intelligent, and anyone brave or foolish enough to venture into an Avian temple or tomb will find examples of advanced -and deadly- technology, powered by Avolite crystals. The Avian are one of the seven playable races in Starbound, and one of the six races entrusted with an Ancient artifact.Ī birdlike race of humanoids hailing from the planet Avos, their stone structures, simple clothing, deeply-religious nature and rather simplistic battle tactics (primarily consisting of 'overwhelm the enemy with thousands of disposable soldiers') make them seem primitive at first glance.
