Greetings, Inspectors!
Development on Orbital Checkpoint is moving at hyper-speed, and today we are incredibly excited to give you a first look at some of the unique faces—and species—you'll be processing at the border.
Running a cosmic border checkpoint isn't just about stamping passports; it's about knowing who (or what) you are letting through. Every species comes with its own specific paperwork, distinct behavior, and very different reasons for crossing into our sector.
🌌 Meet the Travelers
Take a look at the official Galactic Station 42 lineup. Which one of these would you cross-examine first?
Blorgon: Bright, pink, and always traveling with their trusted, slug-like companion. Watch out for their specialized hazardous environment suits!
Blue Crystallian: Sharp, sleek, and highly energized. Their crystalline composition requires unique documentation.
Medusan: Floating into the terminal with a relaxed vibe, but don't let the smile fool you—always double-check their luggage.
Lunarian: Slow-moving but incredibly resourceful. They carry heavy backpacks and heavy secrets.
Tau Fuzzling: Don't let the fluffiness distract you from the security protocol.
Oculus: Mysterious, cloaked, and always watching you back with that single, massive eye.
Aviarian: Navigating the stars with retro-futuristic tech and actual physical maps. They seem a bit lost, or are they just acting?
Frogian: Disciplined, space-suit-ready, and usually walking their bizarre alien pets.
