Crowdsourcing being the omnibenevolent
Kirby space god that has never failed me, I would love to hear
suggestions for more entries as I'd love to extend this list to a
good old-fashioned d66 chart. Anything to add, brain trust?
“The People of My Homeworld Tend to
Be...” Chart
Roll 3d6, 1d3 times (d6 divided by two
and rounded up). If the same result is rolled double any mechanical
effects that may apply, otherwise re-roll. Results dictating class
background give the option to roll on one of the results of the
player or Ref's choice. Re-roll contradictory results—if desired.

It's a good mix as it is, and has feel and tone for sure - the law of averages suggests there are plenty of warlike savage dwarves out there who like getting it on in zero-G. If you do want more, help yourself to any of these:

Oh I was so remiss in not adding the various kinds of bolo utopianists one finds in the Space Cantons. Will rectify.
DeleteLove it. I hope in the Cantons these are assigned a hex code and appended to a "expanded UPP" or what in school we would call Your Permanent Record, guaranteed to give bureaucrats the giggles, ambitious PCs headaches and the forensic psychohistorians plenty of leads.
