Akaali

The Akaali are a pre-industrial society a few centuries from warp-capable spaceflight and therefore are wary of alien contact. While still a primarily agrarian society, this is not to say that their methods in farming and medicine are not without merit for a species of their level of sophistication.

Akritirians

The Akritirians are a warp-capable civilisation ruled by an oppressive government. They are humanoid race distinguished by their slight forehead ridging. The Akritirian criminal justice system is considered cruel and draconian by the standards of most other races; punishment is often imprisonment on an anarchic prison satellite where inmates are fitted with a neural device that heightens aggression and turns prisoners against one another.

Aldeans

Aldea is a planet surrounded by an aura of myth. The advanced Aldeans protected their home world with a highly sophisticated planetary defence field that also acts as a cloak. This defence however comes at a cost; the cloaking device has over centuries emitted radiation that has caused long-term chromosomal damage; they are now incapable of reproducing naturally. Diplomatically, they are isolationists preferring to live in safety and security behind their defence shield.

Alsaurians

The Alsaurians are a relatively peaceful humanoid people. Beneath their quiet and pleasant demeanour, they seek fiercely to preserve their independence and are diplomatically uncooperative out of fear that they would lose their freedom.

Ankari

The Ankari are a humanoid species that possess sophisticated warp technology. They are superstitious, harbouring tremendous respect for a species of nucleogenic creatures that exist in an alternate spatial realm. Their ships are fast and difficult to detect. The Ankari are generally friendly.

Antedeans

The Antedeans are an aquatic lifeform hailing from the almost entirely ocean planet of Antede III. They are fully capable of spaceflight though they find the ordeal physically traumatic requiring that they enter a self-induced catatonic state in order to survive the process. Once they have completed transit, they require food in the form of small wormlike animals called vermicula in order to replenish their bodies. The Antedeans are isolationists distrusting the motives of biologically distinct humanoid species will not fight in space due to the incredible discomfort.



Anticans

The Anticans are a large and lupine humanoid race notable for their narrow vertical cranial ridges. They are a carnivorous species preferring to eat their meat alive.
The Anticans have advanced technology including warp capability; this is probably due to their ‘need’ to fight a race called the Selay. Diplomatically, they are difficult at best to deal with due to an inflated sense of superiority and a view of the rest of the galaxy as foolish and barbaric.

Arbazan

A socially conservative culture hailing from planet Arbaza, they are a humanoid species know for their cranial ridges along the eyebrows and nose as well as their sexual repression. It is not uncommon for Arbazans to occupy jobs in the bureaucracy and in research. Due to their conservative moralistic ways, they are seen to be arrogant thus making diplomatic overtures difficult.

Argrathi

A highly suspicious race governed by an organisation called the Argrathi Authority, they are known amongst the galaxy for their unique methods of punishing crime. Punishment involves implanting artificially created memories of prison sentence within the convict thus inflicting the desired effect without the need for prisons and associated infrastructure as well as the expenditure of time. This has been a controversial punitive measure considering that many have been punished in this way simply for their curiosity. This only proves the paranoia of the Argrathi.

Atreans

Atrea is an old planet with a cooling molten core. The native Atreans are therefore highly skilled in a variety of scientific fields so that they may combat the inevitable aging of their planet. They are generally friendly to most species seeing contact as a chance to improve their knowledge.

Axanar

The Axanar are an androgynous species that breathe a nitrogen-methane atmosphere as well as enjoying a lifespan of 400 years. The Axanar Zymuth Gland produces
triglobulin that is reputed to have properties medically and as an aphrodisiac. They are peaceful and friendly diplomatically and when necessary will defend themselves with their advanced ships and technology.

Bandi

The Bandi are the nomadic inhabitants of Deneb IV. They appear to be little different from humans except for their stringy greyish white hair. Oddly, they are one of the few inhabitants of the galaxy who have no desire whatsoever to explore the galaxy instead being perfectly content with their own planet. While they appear a simple people due to their lack of advanced technology, they are not above using aggressive and deceptive tactics in obtaining what they want.

Baneans

The Baneans are a relatively pleasant people despite the fact that they have endured a series of incidental wars with the Numiri, with whom they had previously shared a homeworld. They have a strict legal system whereby murderers are forced every 14 hours to endure the last memories of a victim’s life by means of inserting memory engrams. They have advanced technology especially in medical fields as well as strong warships.

Barkonians

The Barkonians are a pre-industrial medieval society. They are humanoid in appearance distinguished by their patterned forehead. They are curious about science and the world around them and are highly skilled in metallurgy for a species of their sophistication. They are wary of outside species mostly out of fear and awe.

Barzans

The Barzans are a humanoid species with a light copper to tannish colour skin, a high forehead and a receded hairline giving their species a feline appearance. The Barzan home world is resource poor and the inhabitants possess a moderate level of technology. The only interest alien species have with the Barzans is in the unstable and commercially unusable Barzan wormhole with one entrance stuck firmly in proximity to the Barzan home system and the other entrance shifting randomly from time to time across the galaxy. This wormhole is a source of interest from spatial scientists.

Bilanaians

The Bilanaians are a humanoid race native to Bilana III. They have been experimenting with alternative methods of faster than light travel. This has led to the rather promising theory of using a Soliton-based wave that would carry ships between two points in space. The Bilanaians are somewhat advanced excelling particularly in propulsion theory. They are usually friendly with other species.

B’omar

The B’omar are an extremely officious and xenophobic race governed by the B’omar Soveriegnty. They are extremely protective of their territory usually maintaining closed borders due to their suspicion of outsiders. They are effective at colonisation.
The B’omar are difficult to deal with diplomatically though meaningful progress is not impossible.

The Mintakans are a humanoid species native to the Mintaka system. Their physical appearance and anatomy looks a lot in ways like other Vulcanoid races, but their brains are somewhat behind compared to most other Vulcanoid species. The Mintakans have barely reached the Bronze Age state of technology, and therefore are of little use for other species. Other races with advanced technology are sometime seen in the eyes of the Mintakans as gods, although they gave this belief in the supernatural millennia ago up. Because of this, they quickly offer membership treaties to other races with space flight capabilities. Their weapons are in the form of bows and swords, and therefore wouldn’t pose a thread against advanced weaponry.

We should attempt to befriend them quickly, before a more aggressive power discovers them.
