Humans are bipedals with soft skin and great ambitions. The human body is
strong and agile, but nevertheless they often rely on heavy armor. They tend
to reproduce at a higher rate than most other sentient races in the Known
Universe. In the beginning, humans were completely resistant to magic, but
pollution changed all that. Humans like to trade, and will prefer to use
diplomacy while encountering other races.
Crystallines are silicon-based blob-like limbless creatures with a very high
capacity of energy storage. This makes the crystallines very resistant to
magic, only the Alkiths are able to surpass them in that field. The nature of
their bodies makes them able to survive very high temperatures, but it is
also their weakness as they are fragile and cannot survive on too hostile
surfaces. Crystallines have almost no knowledge of diseases, as they are
rarely affect by those.
Klingans are brute bipedals who live for fighting each other and the rest
of the universe. Klingans are strong and resistant to some magic, due to
their ability to adapt to threats. Their strong bodies make them quite
resistance to diseas, and greatly affect their ability to survive on planets
with harsh climate.
Romulans are cheating, lying and conning their way through life. Whenever
possible, they try to use stealth and cunning instead of force - and they are
good at it. This is also the reason they are good with spying equipment.
The bipedal bodies of Romulans are generally weak, and therefore they have to
rely on their technology also in close combat. But why fight if you are good
at getting someone else to do the dirty work ?
Ferengas live by a standard set of business rules. The most important rule is
if you can make a bug of it, make it. They are very keen businessmen, they
only have one problem - everybody knows it ! But somehow Ferengas always seems
to find get a good deal anyway. These bipedals have weak bodies, and
therefore rely on technology in close combat - which they often acquire
through trade.
Robotics are a race like no other. The Robotic Empire was establish by a now
long lost and forgotten race of humanoids. It is rumoured though that they
still exists somewhere in the galaxies. Robots reproduce by simply
constructing new members when needed. Unfortunately, being an artificially
made race, they lack the imagination of the other races. They are not that
imperialistic, but tend to reproduce to survive.
Binarians are bipedal, very intelligent creatures. They are very logical, and
thus devoid of all emotions. They normally work in groups, as they are able
to join their minds in a, to other races, very bizarre way thus greatly
improving their intelligence. In battle this ability is so incredibly helpful
even the mighty Borghs have to give in.
Chi Lung are huge dragon-like creatures with up to 7 heads and a very long
tail. Chi Lung are a very intelligent species, and they have strong
in-born magic abilities. Chi Lung are one of the strongest races in the
galaxy and only the Demons are slighty stronger. Due to their heavy use of
magic, it has so far now not been nessacary to develop much science. Even
though Chi Lungs are so powerful, they are not war-like, and they will not
attack unprovoked.
Paralels are close relatives of Binarians. Paralels are bipedals humanoids
with a very logical thinking mind. Paralels have a long history of being
inventive and this also influences their trade abilities. Paralels are also
good in battle, mainly because of their superior computer technology. They
lack the ability of joining their minds, but are more creative than the
Binarians.
The Empire is inhabitated by pale-skinned bipedals with very much in common
with humans. They are very agressive and imperialistic but not that good in
a fight. The Empire are very well known for its gigantic planetary ships and
cruisers with many weapons. They rely heavily on science, especially in the
warfare areas.
Dubanics are weak, 3-4 feet tall humanoids. They are greedy of nature, and
very annoying, as they cherish material goods above all in life. They are
very good at stealing and spying, and prefer not to enter battle. Their
preferred strategy is to let other races eliminate each other, then take what
is left.
Skull Demons are distant relatives to the Demons. Skull Demons are large
10-12 feet tall bipedals with absolutely no skin. They are extremely evil
and imperialistic. If there is a fight going on, there is a good chance some
of these creatures are nearby. The Skull Demons are not as powerful as their
cuisines the Demons, but somehow (!) they reproduce faster. They are
powerful in close combat, and capable of magic. However, they tend to be
self-destructive and fight often amongst themselves.
Elven are mystical, bipedal creature with pointy ears. They are known for
their longevity, and therefore do not reproduce as fast as the other races.
mythical bipedal creatures. Being able to survive that long, the are not very
ambitious. They prefer to watch the conflicts instead of getting involved.
Being quite healthy and endowed with mystical powers, they are one of the
races that are more resistant to extreme temperature.
Wizards are rumored to be descendants of Humans that long ago (while Humans
still had magical powers) somehow moved to another planet. Still being able
to wield magic, they are fairly powerful. The Wizards use all of there
breathing life to study and enhance their capabilities in the fields
of magic.
The Beyonders are the legendary sentients, who claim to originate from beyond
the Known Universe. They came here eons ago, but an initial civil war
destroyed almost all their technology. However, they are very intelligent,
and developed quickly, now being among the technological leaders of the
universe. Noone has actually met a live Beyonder - they never let other races
see them.
Demons are one of the most potent races of the galaxy. With latent magic
abilities and very strong humanoid body they make up a very dangerous enemy.
As they have a very long lifespan, Demons seldom reproduce. They are almost
never ill and capable of surviving in even the most dreadfull atmospheres.
They especially like their homes to be hot... The dreaded Demons are most
known for their unspeakable cruelty. The mere sight of a Demonic ship
strikes fear in almost any race.
Borghs are bipedals, but even though they are capable of reproducing
through natural means, they use their remarkable science to do the job.
Perhaps one day, they will learn... Borgs are very well known for their
huge cubic ships and their ability to share thoughts. Borghs always works
as members of a greater community and are therefore less vulnerable to
damage.
Tritons are blue-skinned humanoids sea-creatures. Although they are capable
of living ashore, they often tend to live in the oceans of the worlds they
conquer. Tritons reproduce fairly quickly, but due to their fondness of
battle, they have not spread to far in the galaxy yet. The Tritons have
their own unik shipdesigns and living everyday beneath the oceans, they have
learned most of the secrets of water, making their watergravityships capable
of flying over vast distances.
Bajoran, The slayed people. The Bajoran are bipedal humanoids that have a
lot in common with the humans. The Bajoran are a very proud people with
excelent privateer abilities, abilities they used during the Cardissian
occupation of the Bajoran homeworld. They reproduce very fast and have
magic resistance that helps them in battle and diplomacy. The Bajoran
priesthood has access to special orbs, this has enabled them to raise the
spirit of their people once more.
Jemadar (pluralis: Jemadari) are bipedal humanoids with very agile bodies.
The Jemadari are very famous for their prowess in space combat that are
rumoured to be extremely violent. Jemadari hate the Federation population,
'the weaklings', as they call them. Jemadari have very strong bodies that
enable them to withstand more extreme temperatures than most races.
Siliconoids are distant relatives of Crystalline. They have a crystal body
like the crystalline, but are somewhat tougher. Siliconoids are a very
friendly race that tends to use diplomacy instead of brutal force.
The Siliconoids prefer colder and even icy planets. This ability also
provides an extremely good defense against agressive magic.
Megalanians are the most megalomanic race of the Known Universe. They truly
believe that they should be the rulers of the entire galaxy and beyond. They
are stronger than most races and they do reproduce fast enough to expand
very fast, but their megalomania often causes them to attack what they
should not... Their strong bodies enables them to populate worlds with a
harsher climate than most other races.
Crysalis is very distant relatives to Crystallines. Crysalis are water-
crystals with very powerfull energies holding them together. Crysalis
are weak, although not as weak as crystallines. They have magic abilities
but seldom use that ability for combat.
Marasatis are very small bipedals. They are always busy doing something.
If they are not trading, they are inventing something or doing philosophical
disputes. Marasatis have very quick reflexes and are masters of flight. They
have pretty good health.
Slaedi are frog-type creatures. They are very well known in the mythical
stories in the galaxies as the race who will outrun all in numbers. In fact,
they are so busy reproducing, they seldom have time for anything else...
Cardissian. The untrustworthy allies. They often conquer worlds only to use
up all the raw materials of the world, and then leave the population
behind with nothing. Cardissians tend to prefer war over peace and
they might even conquer a world just for fun.
Red Path. These are part of the tri-pedal race, with a very strong religion that
gives only one true path, the Red Path (the principles of which have never
been understood by any other race than Red Path). Not all other people in
the Galaxy seem too agree though, so Red Path people are constantly fighting,
especially with Yellow Path. A pity, they have so much in common. Attacking
the infidels Yellow path seems to bring up a sort of berserkerway in both
parts. Red Path have limited magic abilities, but a very good health due to
the religious dicipline and common use of religious meditation.
Yellow Path. A group of the tri-pedal, very close related to Red Path. Yellow
Path believes in only one true path, the Yellow Path. Yellow path and Red
path are arch-enemies, and on sight they will most likely kill each other.
Attacking the Red path brings both parts in a sort of berserkermode and
fighting seems more intense. Yellow path is not so extremely religious like
the Red Path though. Yellow path can see the possibilities that lies in
trade, and have developed good trade abilities to persue this. The religious
dicipline gives them a good health.
Scandinas are freedom lovers. Governments are often in chaos, allthough it
most often does not matter, the Scandinas function very well singlehandedly
using common sense and logic. Scandinas are very large humanoids, with
multiple legs (the number actually varies) and their bodies can withhold
very low temperatures. They are also good in battle.
Souleaters are very fearsome gigantic humanoids. They are known for their
heavy alchohol use. Souleaters are a very sophisticated society. They are
most often ruled by a dictator, but it can change from time to time.
Souleaters are, despite their heavy drinking, very strong and agile - in
battle only the most hardened demons or dragons can beat them one on one.
Suzukash are small very intelligent humanoids that tends to copy everything
they see and use the discovered technology for personal economical gain.
Suzukash reproduce very fast, because of their strange mating rituals, that
they MUST uphold. They are weak in ground battle, but their technology can
rescue some of this weakness.
Federation. White-skinned humanoid race well known for their white and
classy ship design. They are inventive, fair and very intelligent and
often use diplomacy instead of brutal war power. Members of the Federation
are very good traders.
Bonners are hardworking, precise and very punctual human-like creatures.
This precisiveness are both their strengh and their weakness. Bonners do
not reproduce as fast as humans, as they concentrate a lot on their work
and seldom think of anything else... The strengh is their technological
power, often used in warships and defense systems.
Clintons are capitalists. They like trading, the will go to war to secure
their traderoutes. They use diplomacy though, and they are good at it.
The Clintons are very intelligent people, and have developed science beyond
most other races. It is this knowledge that gives them power in battle,
very much power.
Alkiths are the absolutely most powerful magic beings in these galaxies.
They posseses the strongest offensive magic, and they can resist the magic
aibilities of any other race. Therefore, noone really likes to take the
first step against an Alkith. Being snobbish to the extreme, they seldom
attack other races, as they do not think this can help them in anyway. They
are known to have a strange mind, their actions confusing to normal minds.
Nevertheless they are intelligent beyond any other race of the Known
Universe. Being so able to use magic, they have actually never bothered
to do serious scientific research...
