The Excalbians

The Excalbians are silicon based lifeforms from the planet Excalbia. They are very curious creature, especially concerning the behavior of other races. They have the ability to shapeshift. They possess a system of morals that is radically different from others, having no concept of good and evil, and test other creatures to see their different social beliefs. They have highly advanced technology. They possess the technology for spaceflight, although it does not seem to be used.

No, the Xindi race is one race, and will be seen as one race. So you don't have to write them for all 6 xindi races.

The Baku

The Ba’ku were at one time a violent and fragmented people, but after time they abandoned advanced technology to life in peace. The planet where the Ba’ku now life was endowed with life giving metaphasic particles, and would give everlasting life and longevity. They are now known for their peaceful nature and don't accept anyone to carry weapons with them. Certain Ba’ku were banished from the community, and these resentful individuals later became known as the Son'a, who have turned violent and aggressive against the Ba’ku. The Ba’ku are good diplomats, but aren’t interested in joining other races, or helping them building weapons and other technologies.

The Argrathi

The Argrathi are a humanoid race who are prone to suspicion. They are ruled by the Argrathi Authority, who punish people by implanting virtual memories a prison stay into them with no actual time passing and eliminating the need for prisons. They have an average technology level. Their suspicion and paranoia causes many people who are simply asking curious questions to be imprisoned.

I couldn't find if they were spacefaring or not, so i just left it out.

The Deltans

The Deltans are a bald humanoid race from the Delta system. Deltans are empathic and telepathic. Deltans have lifespans of centuries. The Deltans have a highly developed society, with no wars for centuries. They also have a highly developed sexuality which, although it gave them peace, can cause conflicts with less open societies. The Deltans have an average level of technology and are capable of spaceflight, and their ships are rarely armed. They prefer to communicate using multiple methods, using their telepatic, physical, and verbal methods of communication. They are very friendly but will defend themselves if absolutely necessary.

The Tak Tak

The Tak Tak are a humanoid species with no mode of verbal communicate, instead using very complicated body and hand signals. They are capable to spaceflight and have strong weapons, but in most other areas they have a low level of technology. Their technology in the area of medical technology is especially low. They are a peaceful people, but do not easily forgive offenses against them.

The Betazoids

Betazoid are inhabitance of the planet Betazed. They are a peaceful race with strong telepathic abilities. Other species have been known to be suspicious of them, because of their telepathic abilities. The Betazoid people prefer to be skilled with arts, literature, and philosophy. The Betazoid society tends toward more formal traditions and ceremonies than most other species in the galaxy. Betazoids are a race of deep thinkers, they rather observe than act and have therefore little use for weapons and defense systems. Their ships are barely armed with any weapons and are mainly used, for exploration, colonization, transporting goods and for diplomatic missions.

The Denobulans

Denobulans are polygamous, with each Denobulan having three partners that also have two other partners, creating a social network. Although Denobulans seem to be a friendly humanoid race, they had at least one war with another species. Denobulans prefer not to be touched, and most Denobulans don't have pets. They have abandoned a lot of things for amusement thinking that their real life is much more exiting. Denobulans have an average technology level with science and medical technology as their strongest points. The Denobulan ships have weapons on board and are thus capable of defending themselves. Most races seem to think that the Denobulans are a friendly race, and therefore have often good relations with most other species.

We will give most races more then one system, but they will not expand as fast as major races. The map is going to be bigger then the botf map ofcourse. the smallest perhaps 4 times as big, this ofcourse means other winning conditions. We thougth perhaps something of a 50% dominance factor or something. But i know the worry about this, you think that games might get boring because of the MASSIVE micromanagement, i'm working on that, so are others. We want this to be truly a amazing game, and i'm glad that you've said your opinion about this. But what would you say if we would make the smalles map for the game just as small as the biggest in BOTF? Their will be a limited number of minor races in does maps ofcourse.

Ehm.. OmniQ i found a site with race discriptions, perhaps their are some thing in it that we can use.

The Angosians

Angosians are considered to be a peaceful race, but they have been responsible for the genetically and chemically engineered soldiers used for their wars. These soldiers are now outcasts and couldn't function in the Angosian society, and therefore were imprisoned on an Angosian moon. Angosians have limited technology, and have only barely reached warp technology. The ships they use are weak and mostly used for transport and exploration.

The Antedeans

Antedeans are a fishlike species, inhabited of a oceanic planet with nearly no land. The technological level of the Antedeans is surprising, given the limited resources and their lifestyle. They are capable of space flight, but they find it extremely traumatic and can only survive this by entering into a catatonic state. At the end of a journey, Antedeans require large amounts of food. They seem to be somewhat doubtful towards the motives of humanoid species, and therefore prefer to isolate themselves. They prefer to remain on their home world, because they aren't capable of defending themselves when in space.

The Zakdorn

The Zakdorn are an extremely intelligent humanoid race known to be formidable warriors and to be the greatest strategic minds in the galaxy. Their reputation among other races is so strong that is hasn't been tested in recent memory. The Zakdorn are physically an obese and weak race, this however has not affected their reputation. Most humanoids find the Zakdorn irritating because of the arrogance of the Zakdorn. Diplomatic talks with other species are therefore sometimes difficult.

The Kazon

The Kazon are a spacefaring humanoid civilization. The Kazon were long ago among the most culturally and technologically advanced people of the galaxy. This ended when the Kazon were conquered by the Trabe, who encouraged the Kazon sects to fight against each other. The Trabe oppression was ended with the unification of the Kazon people. The departed Kazons stole the Trabe’s spacecrafts, returning the status of the Kazon into a spacefaring species. Kazon technology is still limited and their strength lies mostly in combat. But their real strength lies in the size of their warships. They don’t posses the technology of transporters, replicators, holodecks or other advanced technologies. It isn’t easy to gain in trust with the Kazon because power shifts easily between the leaders of the Kazon. They also don’t like people entering their domains, and will rather fire then warn them.

The Mintakans

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.

The Vhnori

The Vhnori are peaceful humanoid race, not yet capable of spaceflight. They have a strong belief in the Next Emanation afterlife with a fleshed-out funeral ritual involving thanatopolists and cenotaph coffins. But their is actually a subspace vacuole or spectral rupture, which occur naturally every six hours in thousands of sites all over the planet. Then they will be sent towards another place in the galaxy and die. The Vhnori will not easily accept this, and therefore diplomatic talks might get difficult.

The Ocampa

The Ocampa are a humanoid species, and live on a barren type planet. They have a lifespan of about nine years, although it is possible to increase this with advanced technology. Ocampa can communicate telepathically as well as verbally. The Ocampa homeworld had suffered a major ecological catastrophe causing a loss of all of its nucleogenic particles, which was triggered by intergalactic explorers. This meant that rain could no longer form, and the planet rapidly became a desert. One of the explorers stayed behind and is known as the Caretaker. From his array in space the Caretaker provides the Ocampa underground city with power and protect them against hostile races. The Ocampa do possibly have the technology for warp flight, but we haven’t seen them use it. Diplomatic talks with the Ocampa are easy and welcome for the Ocampa.

The Anticans

The Anticans are large, furry humanoid species from the planet Antica. Anticans are a carnivorous species who prefer to eat their meat alive. The Anticans species have the technology for interstellar spaceflight for a century and have explored the galaxy ever since. The Articans are a somewhat advanced species, who have been in war with the Selay for quite some time. They often regard the customs of other races to be barbaric and foolish. Because of their regard towards other races, they are somewhat difficult in diplomatic talks.

The Arbazan

The Arbazan are a highly conservative semi-humanoid race from the planet Arbaza. A feature of the Arbazans is a vestigal ridge along the eyebrows and nose. They are looked on by others as sexually repressed and are often given bureaucratic and research jobs, which they enjoy. They are very easy to offend and are considered by many to be arrogant, complicating diplomacy.

I always seem to keep picking ones with no info at all.

The Vaadwaur

The Vaadwaur are an aggressive humanoid species who wish to expand their territory and conquer others. Most of their technology is inferior, but their ship and weapons technology are a threat. Their ships have strong weapons and an advanced propulsion system. They will usually fight using many small, strong, agile vessels. The Vaadwaur are usually arrogant and deceitful in their dealing with others, only using them to their advantage. They prize dignity and efficiency, and are also described by many as war mongers. Successful diplomacy is difficult because of their deceitful tendencies.

The Capellans

They solve confilcts through fighting. Their traditions forbid the show of cowardice. Combat is placed above love in their society. They do not use medicine, believing the weak are meant to die. Their world is rich in rare minerals, giving it a significant economic advantage.

The Trabe

The Trabe are a technologically advanced humanoid race. They are spacefaring, with their starships being heavily armed and well armored. The Trabe ship designs were adopted by the Kazon. The Trabe are aggressive, wishing only to conquer territory and enslave races. The Trabe have been known to use diplomacy, but are usually facitious in their intentions, asking for help and then using it to gain power.

The Hekarans

The Hekarans are a spacefaring race from the planet Hekaras II. They are advanced in many technological fields, especially in that of warp research, being the first species to realize the stress of warp on the surrounding space. Little is known of their starships. They are a friendly people who seek alliances and friendship with other races.

I tried to look up the Iconnu race, but have found absolutely no mention of them. Also, the Vori race lives on the same planet as another seperate race, the Kradin, what should be done about this?

Okeey, this is my view about the two races, we split them up onto 2 different planets. So you would have the Kradin and the Vori seperated from eachother.

I will look into the iconnu.

well, that sounds like a good solution to the 2 race problem.

The J'naii

The J'naii are a technologically advanced humanoid species. The J'naii species is androgynous, with this tendency forced by the government and being dominant in their society, although some individuals still cling to the concept of gender. The J'naii are capable of spacetravel, although their ships are only capable of low warp speeds. The J'naii are a small bodied people who love socializing. The J'naii are friendly to most races and encourage trade and alliances.

The Xepolites

The Xepolites are a neutral humanoid race. They are spacefaring, using very fast ships that use reflective materials to deflect scans. They are proficient in trade. Much of this trade is rumored to be made up of covert illegal deals, although they have never been caught doing so. They prefer to remain in neutral status with races so as to continue a wide range of trade routes.

The Grazerites

The Grazerites are a non-violent race. The Grazerites evolved from a herbivorous herd animal. They require very little rest and are very contemplative. They abhor violence of any form and shy away from confrontations. The Grazerites enjoy making allies of other races, as long as they are a peaceful people. They are skilled diplomats as they are easy to agree with others.

The Xindi are run by the Xindi Council, which was created after a turbulent period of civil wars. They have an advanced level of technology and well-armed space vessels. The Xindi worship a race they call the Guardians. They are usually open to compromise with other species, but are highly dangerous when they align against they perceive as a mutual threat.

The Cairn

The Cairn are a telepathic humanoid race. They have no form of vocal language, instead prefering to communicate to others telepathically through the sending of images. They are incredibly skilled in telepathic ways. The Cairn are capable of spaceflight, although they have only just recently descovered warp travel, and compared to us have a lower level of technology. Although they like to make friends with otherts, it is complicated by the difficulties in communication.
