Notable Members | |
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[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
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.

Dialogue[edit]
The Starborn can have a few different conversations with each other:
- Starborn 1: "I can still hear the song of my first Artifact."
- Starborn 2: "For me, it was the pulse of the Artifact's power coursing through my skin. I still dream of it."
- Starborn 1: "It is always curious what lingers, and what doesn't."
- Starborn 1: "It's maddening. I feel the temple's power. In the center, all makes sense, and then it's gone."
- Starborn 2: "I know. But do not let your frustration overshadow the gifts you have received."
- Starborn 1: "Yes, of course."
- Starborn 1: "Do you see the end? I wonder sometimes how long this can continue?"
- Starborn 2: "You are being attacked by melancholy. Do not let it overtake you."
- Starborn 1: "You're right. Too much time for thought lately."
- Starborn 1: "Do you ever wonder about the others?" (script note: secretly referring to your other selves throughout the multiverse)
- Starborn 2: "No. It is best that we stay focused on the here and now."
- Starborn 1: "Yes... Of course..."
- Starborn 1: "When was your last vision? I find my moments with the Artifacts to feel... fleeting, at times..."
- Starborn 2: "Do you? The rush has never left me. Each Artifact makes me feel more alive than ever."
- Starborn 1: "Huh. I suppose you are lucky, then."
