Posthuman 1 | "Frankies", nicknamed after Frankenstein's Creature: Humans that have used genetic engineering to transform themselves, usually to adapt to survival on extreme alien worlds. | |
Posthuman 2 | "Mechs", cyborg humans that have enhanced their senses and nervous systems with mechanical devices; their goal is to be able to survive in deep space without spacecraft, and achieve spiritual connectiveness through computer-enhanced networking. | |
Miranu
|
Benevolent, evolved from dolphin/whales, now spacefaring beings, more intelligent than humans. | |
The Strand | Bug-reptile creatures, invading human space with trading/expansion, not necessarily evil. 3 distinct subspecies. | |
Voinian | Bad guy, klingon like warriors, minotaur-like. | |
Angels | Human-like faeries with wings, long limbs, long fingers, long ears, anime eyes. Size differs with subspecies. The Xianu righthand helpers in our galaxy. | |
Pyrrthn | Catlike beautiful creatures, atheletic, varied; like Thundercats only more sensual and lythe. | |
Xianu | Energy beings of supreme wisdom. From a neighboring galaxy. Descendants of pre-xianu, with whom they still associate. | |
Pre-Xianu | Gas Bag beings evolved on Gas Gaints. Musicians, funloving. Communicate using static electricity. | |
?????? | The mystery race, not yet named, that were brought to sentience by the Xianu only to rebel and lead the galaxy on a twisted independence movement... Kind of anti-angels. | |
