Major Races - The "major" races are called such because they have all developed jump drive independently, and/or forged a multi-sector domain using it. Of the major races, three are human, one is geneered, and four are natural aliens.
Minor Races - Non-human intelligent races found within known space. These count as "minor" because they did not develop jump drive on their own. Races created by genetic engineering techniques (geneering) are noted as Uplifted race.
Minor Races (Humaniti)- All minor human races were removed from Terra about 300K years ago by the Ancients and left in various places (and managed to survive after the destructive fratricidal war that destroyed the Ancients)
Minor Races (Variant Humaniti) - Were developed some time during the last 2000 years by Solomani genetic engineering techniques (geneering).
Major Races
Droyne – (Droyne major). The Droyne are the survivors of the Ancients. They are a multi-part race; an individual "castes" to become a member of a subspecies suited to a particular role. Uncast members do not fully develop and live as Chirpers. Psionically inclined.
Fteirle - Lion-like creatures Evolved from carnivorous hunters, they developed a society structured by clan; no central government. Culture places great value on honor to balance natural aggression. Their society spans 17 sectors spinward of Solomani space. Lions that live by the Bushido code.
Hivers - Evolved from gatherer/scavenger stock with six-fold radial symmetry standing about 1.5 m high weighing about 150 kg. The head is a limb modified with extra sensory organs (eye stalks, tentacles, and infrared sensors). The other limbs are used for locomotion or manipulation. No verbal speech, they communicate by ideographic sign language. They are more curious than humans. Known for their superior electronics & computers. They prefer subtle manipulation to physical confrontation or overt action. They dominate a several-sector domain trailing of Solomani Space.
K'kree - The K'kree developed from hexapodal herd animals, developing intelligence for defense. They have a several sector realm trailing the Vargr Extents and the 3rd Imperium. Their herd mentality makes them happier only when accompanied by their extended family/herd. They are quite claustrophobic. They are arrogant, conservative, and militantly anti-carnivore.
Solomani - (Humaniti major). Solomani humans come from humaniti's original home: Terra. Solomani are known for their curiosity, impetuosity, and belief that they should rule scattered humaniti. Of all humaniti, only the Solomani display ethnic diversity (because each other human race grew from an un-diverse initial population). The Solomani Confederation is an 8-sector domain rimward of Imperial space.
Vargr - (Vargr major). Geneered by the Ancients 300K years ago from Terran canines. Their mental capacities were uplifted to sentience and there fore paws were reformed as hands. They are spread over 18 sectors with no encompassing government coreward of Imperial space. Wolves in space.
Vilani - (Humaniti major). Taken from Terra 300K years ago by Ancients. Developed jump drive and built 28-sector 1st Empire (Zira Sirku), which lasted a few K years before falling within 2 centuries of meeting the Solomani. Pure stock Vilani known for long life span (up to 200 years). Group-oriented culture known for careful, deliberate planning.
Zhodani - (Humaniti major). Taken from Terra 300K years ago by Ancients. Developed a society stratified by psionic ability now dominating a several-sector domain spinward of Vargr space that eventually came in conflict with the 3rd Imperium in Spinward Marches.
Minor Alien Races
Adduxar - Carnivorous reptilian race with small stellar empire of about 37 planets met peacefully by the Zhodani as they expanded. Currently Zhodani citizens with a 10-planet reservation with sizable populations found throughout Zhodani space.
Ael Jael - Flying sentients; leathery skinned rather than feathered. Imperial citizens.
Akeed - Minor race dominating subsector-sized Akeena Union. Achieved TL 10, but jump drive given by humans. Human contact has been kept from direct study of society.
Akumgeda - (Vargr minor). Geneered by Ancients for weird Psionic powers.
Ahetoawa - Sentient psionic plants (near plants). Contacted by Aslan.
Apes - (Uplifted races). ??
Beree -??
Bolth - Serpentine race living in Zachrisson subsector, but thought to originate in another Galaxy.
Brinn - Descended from carnivore/killer stock in a methane atmosphere. Decapodal (10-limbed), looking like a cross between a crab and a spider. Belligerent and anti-human, they occupy 6 worlds in Corridor Sector.
Bwaps (Newts)- Amphibians (Newts). Bipedal tailed quadrupeds from a warm, damp planet. Known as thoroughly efficient bureaucrats throughout imperial space.
Chamaxi - Not the bugs, but a burrowing race of pseudo crustaceans related to them. They achieved TL 9, including interplanetary flight, but no jump drive. When they accidentally destroyed the natural checks on the bugs, their planet was overrun and they became extinct about 400 years ago (~700).
Chips - Intelligence in a naturally occurring silicon chip. The chips were unaware of the physical universe until experimentally connected to a computer.
Chirpers – (Droyne minor) Uncast Droynes who are not fully developed, live as Chirpers. Psionically inclined.
Crenduthaar - Evolved from hexapodal carnivore/pouncer stock, Crendu are about 2.5 m long and mass up to 500 kg. Massive, powerfully built, with amour-scale hides evolved to resist solar flares and a double row of sharp teeth in a flexible mouth, these are scary looking! However, they are fairly well civilized. On their own they have TL 0-1, but adapt well enough to tools provided by their Vargr neighbors.
Cytrialin - (Extinct). Dead race whose philosophic outlook provided the basis for the Cytrialin Unity, a human/alien interdependent culture.
Danin - Race of bipedal quadrupeds "of vague reptilian aspect." Trisexual, they change sex roles as they age. Principles equal with humans in a several subsector domain.
Dastri - Humanoid race with Stone Age civilization guarding shrinking territories on a terra-like world from human colonization.
Dishaan - ??
Dolphin - (Uplifted race). Intelligent aquatic mammals. 'Phins went to the stars with Solomani, most frequently to high water planets. Often fitted with waldoes for manipulation.

Ebokin - Anthropoid octopi sophonts living mostly planet bound on this one planet at TL 5. They are Imperial citizens, with a very conservative culture. Population about 700 million.
Eliyoh - ??
Eslyat - Evolved from liquid-dwelling omnivorous hunters. Currently living in environments similar to humaniti. They control a roughly 2-subsector domain. They are divided into three subspecies mostly differentiated by skin color: Selyin - blue nobility (17%), Magsin - green farmer/workers (44%), Chutin - red warriors (39%)
Eshaar Ashah - Natives of a methane planet between Zhodani Consulate and a few Imperial client states. They look a bit like giant horseshoe crabs. They believe that they are part of a planet-wide organism.
Faar - Minor Race with high tech civilization (TL 16), but never had the urge to explore beyond their planet; they never bothered with jump drive. Thriving export trade with human merchants.
Githiashio - Intelligent squidoids some 2-2.5 meters long living on water worlds.
Gifug'kagh - Evolved from hunter/omnivore stock, humanoid about 1.5 m tall; stocky. This race was the third contacted by the K'kree and successfully turned into a subject race.
Gl'lu - Hermaphroditic septapodal minor race.
Gniivi - Large, long-lived creatures, slow and deliberate with a 3-subsector domain at trailing edge of Hinterworlds.
Gurvin - Derived from hexapodal omnivore/hunter stock, about 1.75 m. tall, standing upright on two legs. The middle limbs can also be used as legs (for stability if needed or speed). Females are much more intelligent than males, who seldom leave Gurvin settlements. Females can be found throughout Hiver space as merchants and business execs or less commonly as explorers. They are obsessed with money. Most place names in the Hive Federation are derived from the Gurvin language, which provides an intermediate translation between phonetic languages (like Galanglic) and the Hiver ideographic tongue.
Hhkar - Reptilians evolved from carnivore/killer, bipedal with heavy tail, 2.5 m, 250 kg. Migrated from home worlds about -10,000; returned -222 pushing Vargr settlers out. Control half subsector domain. member of Julian Protectorate.
Hlannasai - Bipedal quadrupeds some 2.1 m tall average mass only 55 kg. Evolved from hunter/omnivore stock. Emotionally unstable.
Hloans - Large aquatic sophonts with little or no technology, no interest in the universe beyond their seas and generating little interest in themselves.
H'Oskhikhil - Manhole-shaped beings .5 m high by 1.5 m diameter. Only the adult stage is intelligent. They have only recently begun to develop a culture because the adults developed amour against ravaging juveniles who eat them.
Huosua - Minor, nonhuman race. Dangerous and Xenophobic.
Irdu - ??
Ithklur - Reptilian humanoids evolved from carnivore/pouncer stock. An aggressive race used by the Hivers as space marines or other muscle. 2 m. tall, 200 kg, bipedal with a short thick tail for balance, clawed fingers, heavily built, with a mouthful of teeth wrapped in a tough hide. The Hivers found them in -3986 and spent 1000 years manipulating their society into something more manageable before letting them into space.
J'aadje - Agile, golden-skinned omnivorous humanoids about 1.5 m tall weighing approx. 65 kg. confined to one planet. Achieved TL 4. Trade relations with Caledon begun about 1110.
Jenda - Great capacity for biochemical technology.
Jessa - Lizard-like and thin, highly dexterous and six-fingered, standing about 1.6 m tall. This race has developed a TL 5 civilization living in dirigibles to avoid the problems of living on a geologically active planet. It also does not provide much of an industrial base.
Jgd-il-Jadg - Hydrogen bag critters discovered by early Vilani explorers inhabiting the atmosphere of a Saturn-sized gas giant.
Kafoe - ??
Kahyri - ??
Keo Neseb - Extinct insectoid race resembling giant praying mantises. Believed to have reached their apex about 8 million years ago, having reached at least two neighbors Persephone and Harvosette. They seemed to have mined most easily reachable material of any value on these three planets. Their fate is unknown.

Peth - Native race that aided humans to survive the exotic atmosphere after the Collapse. TL 8 civilization. Imperial Citizens.
Prt' - Geneered by Hass'kor into sentience from carnivore/pouncer stock. Vaguely felinoid, 1m tall 25-30 kg, mostly bipedal, furry quadrupeds. Contacted by Hivers and civilized starting -2400.
Roth Thokken - (Vargr minor). Geneered by Ancients for weird Psionic powers. The race is blind from birth.
Saie or Yn-tsai - Once a small empire of raiders using Vilani tech that turned on themselves. Fur-covered, seven-fingered, bipedal quadrupeds. Also the "abominable snowmen" of Anekthor, the great mountain on Glenshiel (RD 1912) (3700 year old remnant of a crashed crew). Anekthori version may be furrier than Tsanesi. Home world considered to be a dim Red dwarf at the edge of the Rift.
Salika - Humanoid race evolved to be aquatic, covered in short fine fur like a seal, with slightly webbed multi-jointed fingers. The Salika abandoned their home world in generation ships when their sun went through a hot phase about 1000. Friendly and tolerant, not prone to combat. They live only 45-55 standard years.
Sambiqys - The Sambiqys are intelligent androids built in the image of their humanoid creators, who died out of a plague several thousand years ago. Early Vilani explorers found them; the first several contact parties were dissected to see how they were constructed; then Sambiq was declared a Red Zone.
Satha - Large (whale-sized) sophonts living in the stormy seas of Galatea. About as amphibious as seals.
Shalli - Amphibian sophonts 2-2.5 m long. Stronger than humans, but unable to bring most of that strength to bear out of the water.

Only accepted as intelligent after the Collapse.
Shi'awei - Bulky aquatic creatures; bullet shaped with 4 evenly spaced arms.

Sred*Ni - Race of mammalian arachnids, intelligent, but with a communal psionic link. They run a subsector-sized domain and are not very pleasant.
Tahavi - Intelligent Mantas. Discovered by Vilani in -9310 (~3600 BC).
Tentrassi - The Tentrassi wander space in nomad jump fleets, seeking their lost home world. Nomad Fleet 8-visited Raweh (Spinward Marches 0137) around 1100 and again in 1122.
Thorellians - ??
Ulane - Evolved from flying carnivore/insectivore hunter mammal quadrupeds, Ulane wings are now vestigial, developed into another set of fingers. Less than 1 m long, hollow-boned and delicate, their diet consists mostly of fruit (to maintain high metabolism), some insects and small game. They live in small-scattered communities requiring large foraging territories. Not combative, but organized along clan lines, they were contacted by the Aslan. Given ships in -1385, they spread to about six worlds, none of which were as inviting as their home world. Unable to produce or maintain ships of their own, expansion stopped.
Ursa - (Uplifted race). ??
Urzaeng - (Vargr minor). Taller and more powerfully built than humans, these massive Vargr can take on Aslan males in unarmed melee. Originally bred for guard duty and menial labor, they tend to lack full mental faculties. (Big & dumb).
Vegan - Bipedal, upright, bilaterally symmetrical beings about 2.2 m tall, and adapted to their hot, dry, low gravity world and long (~200 year) lifespan. They received jump drive from Vilani traders about -6000 and were forcibly brought into the Zira Sirku in -4404. They are concentrated in an autonomous region filling most of a subsector. Currently (1105-1130) an Imperial ally.
Virushi - Referred to as walking bulldozers. 1.8 m to the shoulder, nearly 1 ton in weight. Of gentle disposition and easy-going, but not stupid. They can be stubborn when pressed.
Wanderers - ??
Xapoqi - Race of near-plants.
Za'tachk - Derived from omnivore/gathers; trisexual species. They are similar in character to the Hivers, although more conservative. They tend to be found in administrative roles.

Darrian - Darrian - Left by Ancients in Spinward Marches. Found by Solomani fleeing the Long Night. Currently Imperial/Deneb ally.
Dynchia - Race of humans who developed into carnivores. All tall (2m), with hair as a mane down the back (both sexes), built slim. Very honor-driven society. Dominates the 5 subsector Comitae (with minority pop of Solomani) "trailing of Old Expanses" but not in the Hinterworlds.
Floriani - Race made up of two castes, basically brain (the Barnai) and brawn (the Feskals), which cannot interbreed. Another Ancient geneering experiment. The Florian League is an independent state outside of the Imperial border.
Geonee - When encountered by Vilani Scouts in -9000, they had a jump drive derived from a derelict vessel of unknown origin and had settled about 10 planets. Probably a High G adapted.
Halkans - Halkans appear to be slightly built albinos, but they are not. Their eyes are pale grey (nearly white) their hair color ranges from white to ash-pale blond. Discovered by Floriani explorers in -50, they were held as slaves until 1000s.
Happirvha - Rejhappur is a dry planet in Reavers' Deep; humans have some adaptation for dry living. Reached TL 3 before Caledon domination.
Ikhandre - Race "enslaves half its population."

Kaggushus - ??
Lancia - ??
Liberts - ??
Loaeskalth - (Extinct?) Race that got jump drive from the Vilani and got aggressive. Before the Vilani finished them off, a massive asteroid ship took off across the void about -4500.

Eventually, civilization aboard their world ship broke down; many left and colonized worlds in Far Frontiers, interbreeding with the Vlazhumecta (qv).
Menetha - ??
Otrai - ??
Ronni - ??
Suerrat - ??
Syleans - Human minor race responsible for the Sylean Federation, which became the 3rd Imperium.
Tapazmal - Geneered by the Ancients for low birth rate. Later raided by the Loeskalth before annexation by the Zira Sirku.
Thaggeshi - Primitive human race found by the Vilani in early -9100s. (Since then, probably subsumed by Vilani for the most part.)
Urunishani - ??
Vlazhumecta - Human minor race contacted by the Zhodani about -4900. They got jump-drive from Zho traders. After rapid expansion, they collapsed under the strain of maintaining colonies far away. The Zho came in to clean up the pieces. Many mixed with Loeskalth (Sky Raiders), who colonized the same area when their Sky Raider civilization fractured about -3900.
Yileans - ??
Ziadd - ??
Variant Human Races
Cassildan - May be taller on average than Solomani.

Iltharan - Drexilthar is a wet planet in Reavers' Deep with little land. Aggressive culture carved Subsector Empire by conquest during the Long Night. Periodically beaten up by the Imperium to keep them down. Sliver of race called K'tring on Gaajpaadge; survivors of a warship's crew.
Iziri - Geneered race designed for harsh environment, thin atmosphere and bad radio conditions. They can communicate across long distances (klicks) by sound.
Jonkeereen - Geneered race designed for desert existence. Originally designed for a desert planet in Gushmege to counter Suerrat expansion early in the 400s, they were developed by SUSag on Jonkeer in the 500s and developed their own subculture in the 600s.
Khulan – (Extinct) Died out thousands of years before Vilani Scouts arrived in -9309.
Luriani - ??
Mal'Gnar - Humans’ geneered to fly, with feathered wings and retractable feet. Tend to remain aloof from Humaniti and hate Droyne. They are reported as interfertile with humaniti, but I'd hate to see a crossbreed!
Mermani - Humans geneered by Imperial research scientists for existence underwater, featuring large webbed hands and feet, no body hair, flat or external ear, wide noses that seal (I guess like a seal's), and un-pigmented skin, leaving them the color of alabaster.
Murrissi - ??
Nexies - Nexine is an under populated water world being "reseeded" by the Ministry of Conservation (as of 1105) using biologically altered humans. No description available.
Sydymic (Sydites) - Aggressive minor race controlling a subsector-sized domain. 2.4 m tall!
Wuans - Self-geneered race designed for industrial production. Workers are single-minded and physically tough. Managers have more cerebral flexibility.
Zaris - Humans’ geneered as labor; designed to be non-interfertile ("profound biochemical differences") to avoid contamination by wild warrior strains of humaniti. Race possesses latent psionic link that provides stability and quick reaction to disasters.

Major Races - The "major" races are called such because they have all developed jump drive independently, and/or forged a multi-sector domain using it. Of the major races, three are human, one is geneered, and four are natural aliens.
Minor Races - Non-human intelligent races found within known space. These count as "minor" because they did not develop jump drive on their own. Races created by genetic engineering techniques (geneering) are noted as Uplifted race.
Minor Races (Humaniti)- All minor human races were removed from Terra about 300K years ago by the Ancients and left in various places (and managed to survive after the destructive fratricidal war that destroyed the Ancients)
Minor Races (Variant Humaniti) - Were developed some time during the last 2000 years by Solomani genetic engineering techniques (geneering).
Major Races
Droyne – (Droyne major). The Droyne are the survivors of the Ancients. They are a multi-part race; an individual "castes" to become a member of a subspecies suited to a particular role. Uncast members do not fully develop and live as Chirpers. Psionically inclined.
Fteirle - Lion-like creatures Evolved from carnivorous hunters, they developed a society structured by clan; no central government. Culture places great value on honor to balance natural aggression. Their society spans 17 sectors spinward of Solomani space. Lions that live by the Bushido code.
Hivers - Evolved from gatherer/scavenger stock with six-fold radial symmetry standing about 1.5 m high weighing about 150 kg. The head is a limb modified with extra sensory organs (eye stalks, tentacles, and infrared sensors). The other limbs are used for locomotion or manipulation. No verbal speech, they communicate by ideographic sign language. They are more curious than humans. Known for their superior electronics & computers. They prefer subtle manipulation to physical confrontation or overt action. They dominate a several-sector domain trailing of Solomani Space.
K'kree - The K'kree developed from hexapodal herd animals, developing intelligence for defense. They have a several sector realm trailing the Vargr Extents and the 3rd Imperium. Their herd mentality makes them happier only when accompanied by their extended family/herd. They are quite claustrophobic. They are arrogant, conservative, and militantly anti-carnivore.
Solomani - (Humaniti major). Solomani humans come from humaniti's original home: Terra. Solomani are known for their curiosity, impetuosity, and belief that they should rule scattered humaniti. Of all humaniti, only the Solomani display ethnic diversity (because each other human race grew from an un-diverse initial population). The Solomani Confederation is an 8-sector domain rimward of Imperial space.
Vargr - (Vargr major). Geneered by the Ancients 300K years ago from Terran canines. Their mental capacities were uplifted to sentience and there fore paws were reformed as hands. They are spread over 18 sectors with no encompassing government coreward of Imperial space. Wolves in space.
Vilani - (Humaniti major). Taken from Terra 300K years ago by Ancients. Developed jump drive and built 28-sector 1st Empire (Zira Sirku), which lasted a few K years before falling within 2 centuries of meeting the Solomani. Pure stock Vilani known for long life span (up to 200 years). Group-oriented culture known for careful, deliberate planning.
Zhodani - (Humaniti major). Taken from Terra 300K years ago by Ancients. Developed a society stratified by psionic ability now dominating a several-sector domain spinward of Vargr space that eventually came in conflict with the 3rd Imperium in Spinward Marches.
Minor Alien Races
Adduxar - Carnivorous reptilian race with small stellar empire of about 37 planets met peacefully by the Zhodani as they expanded. Currently Zhodani citizens with a 10-planet reservation with sizable populations found throughout Zhodani space.
Ael Jael - Flying sentients; leathery skinned rather than feathered. Imperial citizens.
Akeed - Minor race dominating subsector-sized Akeena Union. Achieved TL 10, but jump drive given by humans. Human contact has been kept from direct study of society.
Akumgeda - (Vargr minor). Geneered by Ancients for weird Psionic powers.
Ahetoawa - Sentient psionic plants (near plants). Contacted by Aslan.
Apes - (Uplifted races). ??
Beree -??
Bolth - Serpentine race living in Zachrisson subsector, but thought to originate in another Galaxy.
Brinn - Descended from carnivore/killer stock in a methane atmosphere. Decapodal (10-limbed), looking like a cross between a crab and a spider. Belligerent and anti-human, they occupy 6 worlds in Corridor Sector.
Bwaps (Newts)- Amphibians (Newts). Bipedal tailed quadrupeds from a warm, damp planet. Known as thoroughly efficient bureaucrats throughout imperial space.
Chamaxi - Not the bugs, but a burrowing race of pseudo crustaceans related to them. They achieved TL 9, including interplanetary flight, but no jump drive. When they accidentally destroyed the natural checks on the bugs, their planet was overrun and they became extinct about 400 years ago (~700).
Chips - Intelligence in a naturally occurring silicon chip. The chips were unaware of the physical universe until experimentally connected to a computer.
Chirpers – (Droyne minor) Uncast Droynes who are not fully developed, live as Chirpers. Psionically inclined.
Crenduthaar - Evolved from hexapodal carnivore/pouncer stock, Crendu are about 2.5 m long and mass up to 500 kg. Massive, powerfully built, with amour-scale hides evolved to resist solar flares and a double row of sharp teeth in a flexible mouth, these are scary looking! However, they are fairly well civilized. On their own they have TL 0-1, but adapt well enough to tools provided by their Vargr neighbors.
Cytrialin - (Extinct). Dead race whose philosophic outlook provided the basis for the Cytrialin Unity, a human/alien interdependent culture.
Danin - Race of bipedal quadrupeds "of vague reptilian aspect." Trisexual, they change sex roles as they age. Principles equal with humans in a several subsector domain.
Dastri - Humanoid race with Stone Age civilization guarding shrinking territories on a terra-like world from human colonization.
Dishaan - ??
Dolphin - (Uplifted race). Intelligent aquatic mammals. 'Phins went to the stars with Solomani, most frequently to high water planets. Often fitted with waldoes for manipulation.

Eliyoh - ??
Eslyat - Evolved from liquid-dwelling omnivorous hunters. Currently living in environments similar to humaniti. They control a roughly 2-subsector domain. They are divided into three subspecies mostly differentiated by skin color: Selyin - blue nobility (17%), Magsin - green farmer/workers (44%), Chutin - red warriors (39%)
Eshaar Ashah - Natives of a methane planet between Zhodani Consulate and a few Imperial client states. They look a bit like giant horseshoe crabs. They believe that they are part of a planet-wide organism.
Faar - Minor Race with high tech civilization (TL 16), but never had the urge to explore beyond their planet; they never bothered with jump drive. Thriving export trade with human merchants.
Githiashio - Intelligent squidoids some 2-2.5 meters long living on water worlds.

Gl'lu - Hermaphroditic septapodal minor race.
Gniivi - Large, long-lived creatures, slow and deliberate with a 3-subsector domain at trailing edge of Hinterworlds.
Gurvin - Derived from hexapodal omnivore/hunter stock, about 1.75 m. tall, standing upright on two legs. The middle limbs can also be used as legs (for stability if needed or speed). Females are much more intelligent than males, who seldom leave Gurvin settlements. Females can be found throughout Hiver space as merchants and business execs or less commonly as explorers. They are obsessed with money. Most place names in the Hive Federation are derived from the Gurvin language, which provides an intermediate translation between phonetic languages (like Galanglic) and the Hiver ideographic tongue.
Hhkar - Reptilians evolved from carnivore/killer, bipedal with heavy tail, 2.5 m, 250 kg. Migrated from home worlds about -10,000; returned -222 pushing Vargr settlers out. Control half subsector domain. member of Julian Protectorate.
Hlannasai - Bipedal quadrupeds some 2.1 m tall average mass only 55 kg. Evolved from hunter/omnivore stock. Emotionally unstable.
Hloans - Large aquatic sophonts with little or no technology, no interest in the universe beyond their seas and generating little interest in themselves.
H'Oskhikhil - Manhole-shaped beings .5 m high by 1.5 m diameter. Only the adult stage is intelligent. They have only recently begun to develop a culture because the adults developed amour against ravaging juveniles who eat them.
Huosua - Minor, nonhuman race. Dangerous and Xenophobic.
Irdu - ??
Ithklur - Reptilian humanoids evolved from carnivore/pouncer stock. An aggressive race used by the Hivers as space marines or other muscle. 2 m. tall, 200 kg, bipedal with a short thick tail for balance, clawed fingers, heavily built, with a mouthful of teeth wrapped in a tough hide. The Hivers found them in -3986 and spent 1000 years manipulating their society into something more manageable before letting them into space.

Jgd-il-Jadg - Hydrogen bag critters discovered by early Vilani explorers inhabiting the atmosphere of a Saturn-sized gas giant.
Kafoe - ??
Kahyri - ??
Keo Neseb - Extinct insectoid race resembling giant praying mantises. Believed to have reached their apex about 8 million years ago, having reached at least two neighbors Persephone and Harvosette.

Roth Thokken - (Vargr minor). Geneered by Ancients for weird Psionic powers. The race is blind from birth.
Saie or Yn-tsai - Once a small empire of raiders using Vilani tech that turned on themselves. Fur-covered, seven-fingered, bipedal quadrupeds. Also the "abominable snowmen" of Anekthor, the great mountain on Glenshiel (RD 1912) (3700 year old remnant of a crashed crew). Anekthori version may be furrier than Tsanesi. Home world considered to be a dim Red dwarf at the edge of the Rift.
Salika - Humanoid race evolved to be aquatic, covered in short fine fur like a seal, with slightly webbed multi-jointed fingers. The Salika abandoned their home world in generation ships when their sun went through a hot phase about 1000. Friendly and tolerant, not prone to combat. They live only 45-55 standard years.
Sambiqys - The Sambiqys are intelligent androids built in the image of their humanoid creators, who died out of a plague several thousand years ago.

Less than 1 m long, hollow-boned and delicate, their diet consists mostly of fruit (to maintain high metabolism), some insects and small game. They live in small-scattered communities requiring large foraging territories. Not combative, but organized along clan lines, they were contacted by the Aslan. Given ships in -1385, they spread to about six worlds, none of which were as inviting as their home world. Unable to produce or maintain ships of their own, expansion stopped.
Ursa - (Uplifted race). ??
Urzaeng - (Vargr minor). Taller and more powerfully built than humans, these massive Vargr can take on Aslan males in unarmed melee. Originally bred for guard duty and menial labor, they tend to lack full mental faculties. (Big & dumb).
Vegan - Bipedal, upright, bilaterally symmetrical beings about 2.2 m tall, and adapted to their hot, dry, low gravity world and long (~200 year) lifespan. They received jump drive from Vilani traders about -6000 and were forcibly brought into the Zira Sirku in -4404. They are concentrated in an autonomous region filling most of a subsector. Currently (1105-1130) an Imperial ally.
Virushi - Referred to as walking bulldozers. 1.8 m to the shoulder, nearly 1 ton in weight. Of gentle disposition and easy-going, but not stupid. They can be stubborn when pressed.

Geonee - When encountered by Vilani Scouts in -9000, they had a jump drive derived from a derelict vessel of unknown origin and had settled about 10 planets. Probably a High G adapted.
Halkans - Halkans appear to be slightly built albinos, but they are not. Their eyes are pale grey (nearly white) their hair color ranges from white to ash-pale blond. Discovered by Floriani explorers in -50, they were held as slaves until 1000s.
Happirvha - Rejhappur is a dry planet in Reavers' Deep; humans have some adaptation for dry living. Reached TL 3 before Caledon domination.
