A Starborn arrives in New Atlantis again for the first time.

The Starborn are humans who have passed through the Unity, traveling back in time into a new universe. In order to pass through the Unity, one must first collect all of the Artifacts. As a result, most Starborn have visited at least one Temple and received a corresponding power. By repeatedly visiting all the temples in one universe, then traveling to a new universe and repeating the process, a Starborn can become incredibly powerful.

Gameplay

Hostile Starborn begin appearing after the events of Starborn. From this point on, every time you complete a Temple, a Starborn will appear and attack you. Additionally, Starborn Guardians will attack you in space, or land on planets to deploy small squads of Starborn. These attacks will become more frequent after the events of High Price to Pay, but they will also become more focused, striking mainly at wherever you have built the Armillary.

Starborn do not leave a corpse when reduced to zero health. They instead disappear, granting you a Quantum Essence.

Equipment

When appearing in a new universe, the Unity gifts each Starborn with a ship and one of the following spacesuits:

• Starborn Spacesuit Astra
• Starborn Spacesuit Avitus
• Starborn Spacesuit Bellum
• Starborn Spacesuit Gravitas
• Starborn Spacesuit Locus
• Starborn Spacesuit Materia
• Starborn Spacesuit Solis
• Starborn Spacesuit Tempus
• Starborn Spacesuit Tenebris
• Starborn Spacesuit Venator

The Starborn have no unusual weapons, but do have access to several attack powers.

Politics

The Starborn are not a unified group - they are divided politically and philosophically over who should be allowed to pass through the Unity. One group, represented by the Hunter, believe that anyone who is able to reach the Unity should be allowed through. The other, represented by the Emissary, believes that access to the Unity should be restricted only to those who can use the Artifacts' power responsibly.
