The Vharata | ||
| he Vharata are a race of fierce, hulking warriors some reaching over 12 feet in height. They built a vast Empire almost reviling the Alliance with shear brute force, conquering over one hundred worlds. Like the Siduri, the Vharata Empire was destroyed by the invading Thahazi. They now struggle to keep the few worlds that remain in their control. The Vharata are a predator race from insectiod creatures. They have no skeleton but instead have thick exoskeleton. Although warlike, the Vharata have a strict sense of honor and treat even their enemies with respect. |

The Andavi | ||
| Although birdlike in appearance, the Andavi's physiology is actually closer to an insect. Despite their small size, the Andavi are fierce warlike race, and are the only race in the Vharata Empire who are treated as equals to the Vharata. There are four separate varieties of Andavi, each with a different culture and plumage. The most common are the Kheer: who live as pirates in space, and the Aara: primitive mystics who came to Earth to study the mysteries of the Masau'u. |

The Dijat | ||
| Once a peaceful race of herders on the backwater desert planet of Dijat, the Dijat were forced into a life of slavery first under the Alliance, they inspired a revolt across the Alliance that resulted the banning of slavery that still exists today, and then under the Vharata Empire. Over the next few hundred years they were conquered by both the Vharata Empire and the Thahazi, and each time rebelled. The Dijat believe that they are soldiers in a Holy War to free of God's creatures from oppression. |

The Narod | ||
| The Narod evolved from an amphibian creatures. They begin their life in the sea, able to breath only water. Gradually they develop highly advanced breathing organs enabling them to breath in most atmospheres. Members of the Alliance, the Narod are technologically primitive in many areas but extremely advanced in the areas of genetics. This is do to their belief in remaining part of nature.

The Pank | ||
| Called Mutants by the Humans and Siduri, the Pank are the result of Thahazi experimentation's with Human and energy from the Center Space. The physiology of the Pank defy all scientific explanation. Every Pank born is a completely different species, each with different abilities and appearance. The Pank do not consider themselves mutated humans at all. They believe that they originated from the Center Space, released by the Thahazi into the world. The Pank are perhaps the only race that do not believe the Thahazi are evil. |

The Siduri | ||
| Evolved from a reptilian creature, they are perhaps the most numerous sentient race in the galaxy, the Siduri were once the rulers of a great Alliance of planets. The Siduri developed a highly advanced and peaceful intergalactic society. At its height the Siduri Alliance consisted of hundreds of worlds, spanning hundreds of light years. This Alliance was reduced to only a few dozen worlds by the invading Thahazi. The Siduri are physically weak compared to the other races but intellectually superior with inborn psychic abilities. The Siduri have no form of vocalized speech but instead communicate telepathy. |

The Uhr'pishim | ||
| Partners of the Siduri, the Uhr'Pishim were one of the first worlds to join the Alliance. The Uhr'Pishim are a very peaceful and contemplative race, each one dedicating themselves to a religious, monastic lifestyle. They are known for their heightened awareness and skilled martial arts. Elite forces of Uhr'Pishim are still used by the Alliance military. The Uhr'Pishim also have no vocal language but instead communicate with gestures. |

The Aznon | ||
| Before the Thahazi Occupation, a race of sentient machines were created on Earth. These machines, who eventually revolted in what is now referred to as the Machine Wars. Over the years the Aznon that survived developed their own culture and language. Today the Aznon can be found on Earth and Mars colonies, living together in small communities separate from their former human masters. |

|
Humans | ||
| Although physically and mentally inferior to many of the other races in the galaxy, the human's power comes from their adaptability. Humans can be found most anywhere in the galaxy. There are two distinct species of humans today: homo sapiens and homo psionic. The only difference being homo psionics possess superior mental abilities. Otherwise, they are physically identical. Most of the mentally inferior homo sapiens did not survive the Occupation. |
