- These anaerobic beings seem friendly enough.
New to the FTL universe, the Lanius arrive with the release of FTL: Advanced Edition, a free update to the vanilla FTL, released on April 3, 2014. On the producer's homepage, the Lanius are described as a metallic scavenger race prone to aggression, whose biological composition somehow drains oxygen from the rooms they occupy, making them potentially deadly adversaries.
Lanius cost 50 to hire from Stores.
Special Abilities
+/- Drains oxygen from rooms.
+/- Slow movement but no damage from lack of oxygen.
They drain Oxygen about as fast as a hull breach in a single square. You can follow the same process used to feed oxygen to a breached room to sustain the oxygen in the room your Lanuis crewmen share with other crewmen.
When arriving at a new beacon, the room the Lanius crewmen is in will be completely depleted of Oxygen. Be cautious about what other crew you place in the room with them before you jump.
