* [[C. J. Cherryh|CJ Cherryh]]'s ''[[Alliance Union]]'' universe has humanity divided culturally into planet-siders, stationers, and spacers. Spacers are usually organized into merchant clans owning one or more ships. They also have one-night stands in ports to prevent inbreeding.
* One of [[Larry Niven]]'s stories features the descendants of stranded astronauts who live in a cloud surrounding a star. They are extremely tall and slim and have elongated toes, as well as a high infant mortality rate due to the lack of gravity.
* In ''[[Mass Effect]]'' this is one of your possible backgrounds. There are also the Quarians who live entirely on ships and have weakened immune systems (such that they need to wear isolation suits) as a result.
