Also, what are the creature types it lists for sci-fi campaigns?

Fiends have a new creature Sub-Type, "Vice". The vice subtype is usually applied to outsiders native to vice-aligned planes of existance. These creatures act in accordance to their vice aspect. A creature with this subtype overcomes damage reduction as if its natural weapons and any actual weapons were vice-aligned.
Examples are: Hellcats are fiends of hatred, Dretches of sloth, and to no one's surprise Succubi are fiends of lust and worldly temptation. So, if you had a DR that could be overcome by Lust, a Succubi's weapon would overcome it... I guess.
Some Celestials have the subtype "Virtue" which is the polar opposite of "Vice" but otherwise works the same way. (example: Planetars are celestials of Bravery and Heroism).
Dragons have elemental subtypes (Swamp Dragons are subtype water, sky dragons subtype air, and fire dragons are subtype cold... no, I kid. They are of course, subtype fire). I could not find a single dragon with a "vice" subtype. The description of subtypes says that Vice (as well as virtue) are applied to outsiders, so a planar dragon may have a vice (or virtue).
