Dheilers: Humanoid race with ultra-hard skin, and especially long-lived. Their technology had advanced to the point where they were able to control spacial displacement—in essence, teleportation. When their sun was expanding as it began to die, they shielded their planet with armor created from the planet’s crust and materials mined in their solar system (a level of terra-forming that has never been surpassed), and technology from the Rednig allowed them to move their planet out away from the reach of the expanded star. An accident involving an experiment with spacial displacement drew a small black hole too close to the remains of their homeworld’s sun, and the resulting cosmic explosion/implosion was believed to have destroyed their race. No Dheilers have been seen for eons.
Karadon: Little is known about this ancient race, other than the occasional mention in old legends from the D’kcolian, Khatronian, and Wodashi-woch civilizations. The legends depict them as bestial creatures with terrifying intellect—and horrifying madness. They are said to be dangerous eater-of-souls, but fortunately are extremely rare. No confirmed sighting of a Karadon has been recorded in the last thousand years—but there have been a few unusual events that some suspect a Karadon may have been involved.
Rednig: Anthropomorphic griffin race. They created the technology to restructure an entire solar system using mass drivers on a planetary scale, and proved its worth with their own binary system. They created three new worlds capable of supporting life, and they encouraged the evolution of three sentient species: the Janinians, the Beccians, and the Tamarians. War within their own race destroyed their homeworld, and incurable plagues destroyed their race—they are extinct.
Xizini: They were highly advanced in weapon, space travel, and genetic manipulation technology. They are semi-corporeal, and able to change their form to that most pleasing or most frightening to those who look upon them—thus they have been many things, from angels to demons, to fairies to little gray aliens. Their occupation of Earth and subsequent war with the galactic nations caused them to be exiled from the galaxy. Their homeworld and major colonies in the Magellan Clusters were destroyed by the Vvorrn, and they are believed to be drifting somewhere between this galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy.
Sri Klaatu: Humanoid—they could pass themselves off as humans except for the slight glow in their eyes. The Sri Klaatu are observers, having life-spans reaching into the tens of thousands of years. They are also extremely rare and close-mouthed about their civilization.
T’yarians: Humanoid with scaled bodies, eight tentacles sprouting from back, and alien faces. Orginal inhabitants of the isolated Altena colony Taera, they were highly advanced in the biomechanical fields. They were wiped out by a genetic instability that is suspected to have been introduced by the Shizini.
Ka Vvorrn: Biomechanical, somewhat humanoid. The Vvorrn were more advanced than the Shizini but not as power-mad. They are the oldest race that remains in the galaxy, and they have little to no contact with the other races.
Z’hintu: No records exist of what the Z’hintu race was like. They spawned a sub-race, the Z’vitar, but it is unsure how much the two species were alike. They made great advances in space travel, and were called the Explorers by the other older races. Markers have been found on hundreds of worlds that were left behind by the Z’hintu.
