Fiction:Steve

Steve is the pilot of the spaceship (some insist that he is the ship, but the museum in Adventure Town has a statue which claims Steve to be a humanoid alien) that can be found in the Galactic Core. He is the only character in the entire game that speaks the selected language (except for Greek, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Portuguese), and awards the player with 42 instances of the Staff of Life (known in the development stages of Spore as the "Genesis Device"). Your discussion with Steve will also add the tenth Galactic Object to your collection. Most of him is a cameo.

Steve's spaceship itself is an Easter egg. With the exception of the loudspeaker on top, it's a near-perfect replication of the UFO featured in the Sim City 2000 game cover.

In the game, Steve talks to the player and asks him/her to find Earth and Sol.

This is not the case in fiction as Steve is pure evil and is allied with the Reapers of Mass Effect.
