 Elevator pitch of the (SPECIES). Two easily-readable paragraphs, tops. Concise is fine.

+The goals of a species article are to make it easy for players to understand what your species is, how they fit into the roleplay, and how to make a member of the species if they so desire. To be successful, your article will need to strike a balance between being short enough to be easy to read, while having enough detail to allow someone making a character to have all the information they need.

+===== Evolution/Creation =====
-Required. What environments does this species live in? How many of this species are there? You can say something like 'common throughout the sector', 'rare outside of their home system', etc if you don't want to use numbers.
+Optional. How did the species come to be? You can leave the header as Evolution/Creation or pick just one

 Required. How do members of this species refer to each other? Examples are really important here, since people will use them to come up with their own names. If using a real world language or culture as a basis, maybe link to some name generators?
+Do they have first names and last names? How do they determine them?
+If a name generator is not provided, include a list of at least five sample names for each section of your species that has a different naming structure or convention - such as male and female.
