Players
When creating a character in Earth & Beyond (ENB), you must first select a Profession which is a combination of a Race and a Class.
The available races (originally all deriving from Earth) are:
- the Jenquai, based at Jupiter, Sol sector. Technologists, and Beam weapon specialists.
- the Terrans, based at Earth, Sol Sector. Traders, and Missile weapon specialists.
- the Progen, based at Mars, Sol sector. Warriors, and Projectile weapon specialists.
Each race can use any type of weapon, but can only attain skill level 9 (the maximum) in the weapon type in which their race specializes. As more skill points are required to advance the higher you progress in each skill, more often than not pilots will only apply skill points to their race's preferred weapon type, thus not wasting points on weapon-skills that can only be taken as high as level 8.
NPCs
Possibly the most distinctive of the NPC races is the V'rix, a strange, insectoid race of aliens, which has decided to war with humanity. Most other NPCs are some variety of Jenquai, Progen, or Terran, and are more correctly described as belonging to Factions.
