Rooh
Class:  Floral
Native Sector:  DD:  Grand Nebula

Rykell
Class:  Amphibian
Native Sector:  Q: Rykell

Sarka
Class:  Space Amphibian
Native Sector:  DH: Sarka
Description:  Distant cousins of the Ojo, the Sarka are also capable of manipulating amorphous parts of their bodies.  However, the Sarka have an endoskeleton resembling those of humanoids over which their Ojo-like bodies form.  Sarka generally have better control over their malleable bodies and can sometimes alter their features to resemble those of other races or even impersonate people.


Sooba
Class:  Humanoid
Native Sector:  CL: Rocky Stars
Description:  The tribal Soobas are quiet peoples who mine the asteroids of their native sector.  Unlike many humanoids, the Soobas have exoskeletons that give them a very bony, skeleton-like appearance.  While most Soobas have adopted the typical technology of the Empire, many still mine or hunt with their simple stone-like tools.


S'sobi
Class:  Spore
Native Sector:  CS: Cleravah
Description:  These very alien peoples resemble plants, except that their green bodies do not possess any chloroplasts.  They are often puss-covered and emit terrible odors that keep other races at a far distance from them.  Most S’sobi have typical psyches, though they generally require long periods of weekly rest.


Tallork
Class:  Space Amphibian
Native Sector:  GB:  Gorbovam
Description:  Tallorks were the last race to join the Energon Empire after the invasion of the Caelus Galaxy.  Since then, they have become a valuable workforce for the Empire and perform many of the needs of employment requiring space amphibians.  Tallorks resemble reptiles, though they do not have nostrils and typically consume dirt and stones.  Despite being large, aggressive-looking beings, the Tallorks are typically altruistic and uphold kindness toward others.


Tan
Class:  Humanoid
Native Sector:  FK:  Tanover
Description:  The Tans follow a large interest in biology.  They have made amazing developments in their own race and continually study and develop the biological nature of other races.  While some societies find such alterations of life to be undesirable, the Tans have done their best to work with them and spread their own points of view.  Very often the Tans are the source of medical controversy in the Energon Empire.  It is said that no two Tans are exactly the same, though they are all recognizable by their typical humanoid appearance and light brown skin tones.


Tarron
Class:  Nebular
Native Sector:  BA: Yarith Major
Description:  The Tarron are a sneaky business race and uphold undiscovered thievery and espionage as virtues.  They resemble humanoids, though they have very light bodies and numerous bladders that propel them by the expulsion of air.  Tarron are also very often responsible for upsetting criminal activities around the Empire.


Taskiri
Class:  Humanoid
Native Sector:  BT: Imith’otolas’malakinuputoy
Description:  The Taskiri are beings who feature a third tail-like leg extending from their lower spines.  They also have most of their sensory organs, including eyes, ears, and nose, on short stalks extending from their bodies.  Typical Taskiri psyches are nonchalant and vacant, possibly a byproduct of their rather poor abilities at memory.


Tetch
Class:  Brain
Native Sector:  DD:  Grand Nebula
Description:  The Tetch are quite possibly the cruelest peoples in the Empire.  It is only natural of their solipsistic psyches, as they have no ability to see beyond egocentric ideas, and few blame them for their evil actions, though they are generally disturbed by them.  Tetch fill a variety of needs all over the Empire, though they all picture themselves as performing these tasks in their own mental worlds.


Tob'ron
Class:  Insectoid
Native Sector:  DD:  Grand Nebula
Description:  The Tob’ron follow their empress, who happens to be the mother of their entire race.  There is no such thing as a typical Tob’ron, as there are eight castes from workers to soldiers to entertainers, with each existing as a very different being.  Some Tob’ron are large, winged, and agile, while other Tob’ron are short, muscular, and walk upright on twin pairs of legs.  Every fifty years, the Tob’ron empress dies, and a new fertile female Tob’ron replaces her and busily goes about laying the billions of eggs needed to keep the Tob’ron race thriving.


Toka
Class:  Raska
Native Sector:  M: Callora
Description:  Toka are a quiet, gentle, very traditional race.  They primarily stay at home and carry out their elaborate traditional practices while robots run their society.  A typically Toka is approximately 1.2 meters tall and very fat.  They often cover every inch of their blue skin, maintaining one of the strictest codes of modesty in the Empire.


Torrask
Class:  Ichthyoid
Native Sector:  Y: Whatorra
Description:  These fisk-like peoples spend their entire lives in watery environments.  Unlike some races that have found simple atmospheric breathing systems suitable, the Torrask require that their bodies stay wet and oxygenated for suitable respiration.  A typical Torrask psyche changes greatly, as the young are usually very shy and easily frightened and the old are death-defying thrill seekers.  Statistically, most Torrask meet their fates by thrill-related accidents.


Trith
Class:  Spore
Native Sector:  BS: Nysor
Description:  Native to a sector of space filled with fierce ion storms, Trith are very resilient spore-like beings.  They are slow-thinking and moving, but very intelligent.  The Trith resemble melon-like pods with bony limbs extending from underneath.  Most of a Trith’s life is spent in recreation, simply laying about and absorbing nutritious energy from the ion storms


Trovin
Class:  Avian
Native Sector:  CU: Dysibi
Description:  The Trovin came from a world of very few resources. They took to the skies early in their development, traveling between stars looking for more resources. Since then, they have relied on trade as their way of life.  Trovin have large heads with two beaks, one large one for cracking nuts and a smaller one inside of it for sipping nectar.  Trovin are very conscientious about fairness and the feelings of others, skills that have served them well as merchants.


T'thal
Class:  Brain
Native Sector:  BK: Skorrio
Description:  Developed by the Anakora, these large brain beings were first meant simply to be large computers.  The Anakora were surprised to discover their abilities in self-consciousness, and they were soon classified as a new race.  T’thal spend their whole lives floating by balloon-like bladders that extend from the tops of their ovoid bodies.


T'vor
Class:  Mammalian
Native Sector:  BP: Rangiki
Description:  Since their earliest days, the native T’vor have been experimental with plants. They have covered every world in their sector with plant life, from icy plants in polar regions to brown, dry plants in deserts. The T’vor even accidentally created the plant race known as the Krong.  Most scholars hold that the T’vor were most likely the earliest in its development race to master agriculture.  T’vor are mousy beings who are easily frightened and feel most comfortable surrounded by plant life.


Vado
Class:  Insectoid
Native Sector:  CK: Askaran
Description:  The Vado are most notoriously known for their ancient enslavement of the Soobas.  Even to this day, they are the strongest supporters in the Empire of the ideals of slavery and its benefits to society.  Vado are tall, thin insectoids who have loud, rasping voices, and they are always very quick to share their opinions and philosophy.


Vari
Class:  Yari
Native Sector:  CC: Yari
Description:  Like all beings of the Yari class, the Vari have chloroplasts, three arms, live young, and scale-like fur.  The Vari can be distinguished from the others by their larger and more sensitive ears (which are capable of listening with the greatest sonic spectrum of any race in the Empire).  Since their loss in the ancient racial war with the Yari and the Kari, most Vari have lived quietly in their fields, doing their best to work under the thumb of Yari overlords.


Vasti
Class:  Deep Space
Native Sector:  AH: Tactaron
Description:  Vasti are beetle-like beings who dwell in the vacuum of space.  They are accustomed to not having any external pressure and, when traveling into anything above one atmosphere, they are forced to wear pressure suits to keep from being crushed.  Vasti are common along trade routes, often hitching rides aboard starships outside the hull.  Most know Vasti for their excellent senses of humor and their enormous tradition of storytelling.


Vazi
Class:  Floral
Native Sector:  DD:  Grand Nebula
Description:  The Vazi were the founders of the powerful Vlin Empire, which dominated a large portion of the Grand Nebula and conquered the nearby Klib.  Vazi have a type of natural telepathic ability to communicate with other members of their race, though they cannot read the thoughts of or speak with their minds to other races.  Vazi are somewhat humanoid, though their heads and backs are covered with large leaves for collecting light and heat.


Vome
Class:  Spore
Native Sector:  AK: Villicuso
Description:  Long ago, the Vome made their first creations in telepathic technology to perfect communication with deaf members of their race.  Vome are somewhat humanoid, except that they reproduce asexually by splitting in two in a year-long process that includes duplicating all of their organs and eventually growing apart.  The Vome are fairly quiet beings, though they do enjoy thinking and it is rare to find a Vome who is not entranced by logic puzzles.


Vorgal
Class:  Pyror
Native Sector:  BQ: Jah’rahj
Description:  The Vorgal are short Pyror beings with four arms who have a digestive system based on combustion, somewhat like a boiler.  In ancient times, the Vorgal were dominated by the Hastasi Empire, and many of them still work at the massive Hastasi factories where their ancestors worked.  Vorgal are commonly seen as engineers around the Empire on starships, making repairs where other races could not fit.


Voss
Class:  Humanoid
Native Sector:  ED: Oggus Prime
Description:  The humanoid Voss and the remnants of their Oggus Empire are among the most powerful races in the Empire.  Voss are nearly typical humanoids, except for their three-fingered hands and prehensile tails.  Voss art and literature typically follows the epics of history, and Voss have maintained the same style of garments for several millennia.


Vuldane
Class:  Humanoid
Native Sector:  BL: Vuldane
Description:  The Vuldane are slight humanoids who feature large heads and are known for their extremely pale skin decorated by red, pink, blue, or green blotches.  The name for the Vuldane race comes from a single family of Vuldane, who initiated the infamous Vuldane Gem Cartel and soon renamed everything they could find after themselves.  Vuldane are notoriously vain about their appearances and typically feature great amounts of jewelry and makeup.


Vygg
Class:  Humanoid
Native Sector:  CZ: Vyggola
Description:  The Vygg trace their ancestry back to the Grand Nebula, where historians say they were driven out by Toski Feudal Lords in an ancient war.  A Vygg is usually slightly taller than a typical humanoid, and they all have an abundance of joints in their limbs (an often-used position of sitting is for a Vygg to cross his legs three times in something resembling a knot).  Vygg are very superstitious, and some scholars hold that they might have a type of telepathic link to a higher dimension where they can see things that might happen.


Vytalx
Class:  Spore
Native Sector:  W: Yahtoo-Ba
Description:  Resembling oozing green swamp monsters in the lore of many races, the Vytalx are very gruesome beings.  They eat quite noisily and their bodies often emit terrible stenches and popping sounds coming from within.  Vytalx are intelligent beings and enjoy their dreadful appearances.  Many circuses around the Empire have a Vytalx sideshow who spends his time trying to frighten his observers.


Wygg
Class:  Humanoid
Native Sector:  CH: Wyggermara
Description:  Wygg are popular mechanics and engineers.  Though their brains are lacking in ability to realize abstract notions, they are very adept at concrete problems.  Wygg have strange braincases that feature four large lumps atop their heads where a different section of their brains rest.  Wygg are also known for their abilities to extend strong, meter-long tentacles from pouches on their wrists.


Xama
Class:  Insectoid
Native Sector:  AA: Xamatala
Description:  The Xama are nearly humanoid insectoids who feature an impressively large and ornate exoskeleton.  Xama take pride in their exoskeletons and very often adorn them with ornaments or tattoos.  While their native sector lays in ruins, many Xama have left to explore the Empire.  Xama are fond of sweets and sugar, which was once their race’s currency and the start of their ancient apocalyptic war.


Xila
Class:  Space Amphibian
Native Sector:  DW: Xila
Description:  In ancient times, the Xila developed advanced astronomical equipment and were terrified by the awesome power of the empires of the Grand Nebula. Fearing eventual invasion, the Xila were terrified and built up enormous defensive fleets. This kind of foresight is typical of the wise Xila, many of whom specialize in seeking out future problems in firms across the Empire.  Xila, who appear humanoid except for their bug-like eyes, horns, and bat-like wings, are Space Amphibians who are capable of surviving in vacuum, though they find it uncomfortable.


X-tok
Class:  Insectoid
Native Sector:  W: Yahtoo-Ba
Description:  The X-tok are shorter insectoids with an abnormal number of arms, sometimes reaching as many as eight.  Most races find the X-tok, who hold jabbering without meaning as a popular pastime, to be a bit annoying.  For this reason, there is often some disdain between X-tok and the beings around them.  The most impressive example of such jabbering was the eight-day-long filibuster performed by a X-tok senator, who finally stopped only because he passed out from want of food.


Yari
Class:  Yari
Native Sector:  CC:  Yari
Description:  Like all beings of the Yari class, the Yari have chloroplasts, three arms, live young, and scale-like fur.  The Yari can be distinguished from the others by their extremely long tongues (which are capable of being used almost as an extra limb or prehensile tail).  Since their victory in the ancient racial war with the Kari and the Vari, the Yari have dominated their sector and kept their cousin races in subservient places.


Yellow K'jobi
Class:  Humanoid
Native Sector:  EI: Irtova Byggyn
Description:  This race of blue-skinned humanoids are very similar to their cousins, the Blue K’jobi.  They have exceedingly large blue eyes, and their noses are extremely small, being nearly only two slits between their eyes and mouth.  Yellow K’jobi are renowned for their abilities in energy production and act as consultants in many energy businesses around the Empire.


Yil
Class:  Liqui
Native Sector:  DN: Yilka
Description:  The Yil, liquid-like beings with amorphous bodies and the ability to alter their shape, grew through constant battles with nearby Robja space dragons.  The Yil are even more adept at shifting their bodies than the Ojo and Sarka, and can sometimes even convincingly disguise themselves as complex objects.  While most Yil are benevolent and wish to follow in the footsteps of the ancient knights who fought against the Robja, some Yil use their shifting abilities in sinister doings.


Yilth
Class:  Nebular
Native Sector:  DD:  Grand Nebula
Description:  These nebular beings are well known for their imaginative tales and creations.  While not quite being artists, they are found throughout the Empire on staffs of companies who need creative minds (such as the holographic film producers in Energon Entertainmentia).  Physically, Yilth are probably the nearest nebular race to humanoids, though their limbs are affixed more for swimming in their nebulous environments than for walking on gravitic planets.


Zah
Class:  Humanoid
Native Sector:  CG: Lorzarzah
Description:  As natives of the Twin Sectors, the Zah specialize in testing new technology and designing luxuries for the cruisers.  Zah seem to have an inborn desire to create and test new objects and technology.  While not as creative as the Yilth, many Zah are among the best engineers in the Empire.  Zah are nearly typical humanoids, though they have enormous ears that extend well past their shoulders.


Zelthar
Class:  Humanoid
Native Sector:  Z: Zelthar
Description:  The humanoid Zelthar made massive leaps the beyond light speed travel ages ago to cover the enormous space between its stars.  Through this technology, they built up trade relations throughout the sectors that now participate in the Zelthar Leage of commerce.  Zelthar are very comparable to the Energon in their love of trade and fascination with exploration.  While the Zelthar are considered humanoid, they are quite different, having four legs extending from a complex pelvic system.


Zen
Class:  Humanoid
Native Sector:  AV: Hattassa
Description:  With the opening of Aneralba, the Zen and their native sector fell into a terrible economic crunch.  To this day, the green-skinned Zen, with their rectangular eyes and horn-like hair, are struggling to restore prosperity to their sector.  One possible reason for their trouble is the Zen’s natural tendency toward depression and inactivity from simply giving up when times are tough.


Zermi
Class:  Giant Cellular
Native Sector:  CI: Zermi
Description:  The Zermi (although not Ichthyoids) live underwater is massive cities near sulfurous volcanic vents. They breathe sulfur and find too much oxygen to be lethal. Because of that, Zermi are forced to wear breathing equipment when traveling to places with normal atmospheres.  Zermi resemble bulky worms and use their three large tongues like limbs for manipulation.


Zolle
Class:  Humanoid
Native Sector:  AW: Zolleran
Description:  The Zolles have a culture in which elders were held in enormous respect.  Because of this, Zolles are found throughout the Empire as caretakers for elderly peoples of all races.  Zolles are pudgy humanoids with soft pink skin and cartoony faces.


Zulbane
Class:  Nebular
Native Sector:  U: Ulka
Description:  The Zulbane, a race native to the Ulka Nebula, love luxury.  Many Zulbane philosophers have outlined detailed philosophies about how luxury translates to the meaning of life.  While most may not completely agree with this, they do enjoy Zulbanese luxurious objects and technology.  Zulbane are tall, thin beings with wiry skeletons and vast folds of skin that stretch from their legs to their arms, allowing them to fly through nebulous environments.
