Races
Non-player races are your computer controlled opponents. They have the same tools available to them as the player, with the exception of their ships not needing any fuel.
Racial Tolerances are randomly determined, but basically, there are oxygen breathers and methane breathers. Research strategies and ship design also procedural (i.e. random), meaning that no two NPRs will be the same.
Sometimes two NPRs will fight or do actions where you can not see them. This leads to turns getting cut short, possibly down to 5 seconds. Typically, these periods of shortened turns will only last a short while. See Game Slowdown.
