NPC

NPC, or Non-Player Character, is a term used to describe characters that aren't directly controlled by a player.

Commonly the term is only used to distinguish between NPCs and avatars with spacecraft berthes. Avatars can hold any berth on board a spacecraft that a NPC can hold; such as passenger, troop, crew, and officer. So some times a clear distinction needs to be made.

NPC Types

There are a number of different types of NPCs. While some may act similar, they are treated differently by the game.

These types are:

• Rat
• Animal
• Citizen
• Passenger
• Troop
