PHYLOSIANS
Planet of Origin: Phylos, on the edge of the galaxy
The Phylosians are a sentient species of mobile plants who developed a technologically advanced civilization. They have a naturaly long life span which they extended with their science. While they had not yet ventured much outside their hoemworld, they had developped theoretical knowledge of interstellar travel and had even devised a plan to build a fleet of large military ships to ensure peace in their interstellar neighborhood. Exposure to a staphylococcus strain of bacteria brought by a human explorer stopped their effoert and wiped out most of them in the 22nd century. By cloning himself, the explorer was able to cure the phylosians over the course of the next century.

EDOSIANS / EDOANS / TRIEXIANS
Edosians are a tripodal species, with three arms, three legs and three fingers on each hand.
The Edosians are a peaceful,long-lived species worshipping many gods who have developed a class-less society in whihc all are considered equals. Edos has never been involved in a war. its technology is as advanced as Earth's. The architectural style of its cities is strictly functional rather than esthetically pleasing.
In the 23rd century, they were allies of the Federation of Planets. Contact was already established with Earth or an affiliated species in the mid-22nd century (as Knowledge of the Edosian suckerfish among Humans would suggest, as mentioned in Star Trek: Enterprise)

SATICONS
Saticons can travel from planet to planet by means yet unknown and have access to highly advanced technological knowledge. When seen, they always seem to be after an object of power with which they want to accomplish some terrible feat.

EURYTHMANS
Planet of Origin: Eurythma
The Eurythmans are a humanoid species looking much like humans which developped their culture entirely around music and speak in a constant, lilting sing-song manner. Among their achievements is the ability to use sound vibration for varied uses, including healing and a three-part harmony of incredible destructive power which was once used to blast out of the sky a comet in collision course with the planet.

PROGENITORS / ANCIENT HUMANOIDS
Rumors have it that some of the fragments of DNA also contained parts of a computer program designed to display a holographic message from an ancient humanoid explaining its race and their actions. It was hoped that their descendant species would come together in the spirit of cooperation in order to assemble the program. This message was supposedly discovered in the 24th century.
Note: In Doctor Who, The Timelords are said to have had a similar plans, establishing a morphic field so that the species that would develop on other planets would have a physiology similar to their own.

VAMPIRE CLOUD / DIKIRONIUM CLOUD CREATURE
The only specimen of that species ever encountered creature attacked the spaceship USS Farragut in 2257, killing most of its 200 crewmen and destroyed eleven years later with a massive antimatter explosion and it remains unknown if the creature is unique or a specimen of a species.

STAR-JELLIES / SPACEBORN ENTITIES / SKYMOUNTS
When flying at warp speed, Starjellies usually retract their tendrils which gives them a roughly saucer shape, about a kilometer in diameter.
Two such beings were witnessed in 2364, in the Deneb system but left for destination unknown.
It has been rumored that some species might have used such creatures as spaceships

NEURAL PARASITES
The parasites are connected to a mother organism, a larger creature likewise capable of inhabiting a host. The death of this creature seems to result in the deaths of all progeny. (TNG: "Conspiracy")
They attempted to infiltrate Earth in 2364, by physically infiltrating high-ranking officials within the organization but theuir attempt was thwarted. However, the mother organism had sent a signal toward deep space, wether this was a call for help or a warning remains unknown.
Notes: It has been rumored that the parasites might have been agents of the Borg collective.
(This was the episode's writers original intent. However, due to the 1986 Writers' Strike as well as budget cuts, the connection between the Borg and the parasites was never established. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
The neural parasites are in many ways similar to the Goa'uld, a race of malevolent, power-hungry parasites from TV series Stargate SG1.

SHELIAK
The Sheliak are a reculsive species that developped a space faring society as of the 23rd century. Althought they travel through space and have colonised other planetss, they try to avoid contact with other species whenever possible.
Not much is known about the Sheliak social system but colonists refer to themselves as "the Membership" and have a governing body called "the Corporate".
Unlike most humanoids, the Sheliak prefer to exist in an environment that is the same temperature as their bodies. (TNG: "Starship Mine")

MEDUSANS / VISALAYANS
The Medusans are an highly evolved peaceful telepathic non-corporeal species. The visual impression they leave upon those they meet is so utterly hideous that the sight of a Medusan renders most humanoid lifeform mad. Some species are known be able to withstand their sight but only through the use of a specially filtered visor. For these reasons, Medusans usually use an opaque carrier pod when interacting with other species. The Medusans was a member of the Federation of Planetes in the twentietn century and had limited contact with some other species.

APPARITIONS
Legends talk about supernatural manifestations, but a popular explanations to the phenomenon is that of a parasite taking control of the bodies of space travellers, turning them in some kind of zombie under its control. As no specimen has been caught yet, the mystery remains.

PINK ENTITY
The pink entity is a large soft mass covering a surface of about 6 meters in diameter by three meters high. While not humanoid, its shape is remotely reminiscent ofa huge couch potato.
The Pink entity has existed for several millions of years and has no memory of its beginning and cant recall any physical change, wether growth or deterioration in its physical mass.
It has powerful psychic powers and spends most of its time fishing telepathically for other telepathic entities with wich to communicate. It is collecting other people's mind, exchanging an image of its own mind with them. The entity has in its own mind images of the minds of thousands of alien. Being a solitary being, possibly to only of its kind, it does not do much with that wealth of knowledge and live a quite goal-less existence. It usually have a friendly attitude toward otehr sentient beings.
The entity lives in a construction sheltering it from the harsh weather conditions of its world. If he built it or how remains unknown.
The entity had contact with humanity during the first half of the third millenium through Shepherd Blaine, a telepath working for the Fishhook Corporation while psychically scanning distant worlds.

ABBAI
The Abbai are a reptilian humanoid species led by a matriarchal regime who have developed a space faring civilisation. In the twentieth century, they became members of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds and then of the Interstellar Alliance.
“The Abbai civilisation is over six thousand Earth Years old and is regarded as a model of tolerance and respect and has eradicated all poverty and inequity on their world. Although the Abbai are ruled by a single gender, this is simply a fact of Abbai biology that the females outnumber males five to one, though the males are in no way considered inferior and are able to participate in all areas of society, with the exception of the government itself. This arrangement seams to work as it has remained stable for over four millennia and most male seam more interested in pursuing artistic, scientific or academic professions over politics. The Abbai are a very technologically adept civilisation and have possessed the capability for interstellar travel for over eight hundred years. They however specialise in agriculture, medicine, communication systems and computer software. Though they are a peaceful race who do not believe in conquest or violent expansion, they are by no means total pacifists and are quite capable of defending themselves. Most of their weapons are designed around non-lethal but formidable reactive force. Their ships and planetary defences are capable of generating massive force shields, capable of withstanding most assaults. They are also proficient and electronic warfare, intercepting and jamming enemy communications. The bulk of the Abbai Matriarchate's defence strategy however lies in their good relations with other worlds and their numerous interplanetary alliances from which they can muster a defender in case of attack or if necessary hire other races as mercenaries… Religion is highly prized among the Abbai, as is tolerance and mutual respect. As such their sixteen distinct religious hold no rivalry towards one another. The most dominant belief system on Abba IV is Oulai, the worship of wind and water. Unlike most other races the Abbai to not worship divine being(s) but instead revere the natural elements (stone, sand, plants, mountains etc.) with the exception of Kolai; the worship of logic and knowledge.” (from the Babylon 5 Wikia)

FIRST ONES / TRAVELLERS / WALKERS AT SIGMA 957
The Walkers are amongst the oldest races in our galaxy. With an unending Thirst for knowledge and a desire to learn every aspect of the Universe, they ended up possessing more knowledge individually than entire species. They started out as a large thick skinned creatures with poor séances and high psychokinetic capacities. They never rudimentary developed tools as they could construct things physically with there mind. They resorted to technology for complex constructs such as computers or automated construction machines. They soon started exploring space and at the same time the other dimensions and soon became nomadic explorers. They first discovered Thirdspace, which they mapped out in secret, due tu the violent and chaotic nature of its natives, then, hyperspace, which lead the way to yet other dimensions. They evolved beyond the physical state over a million years ago.
In our galaxy, they’ve been known to deposit their informations in two massive uninhabited databases. One at Sigma 957 and another one that was destroyed by asteroid impact.
They usually travel inside huge Science lab made for research and interdimensionnal and interuniversal travel.

FIRST ONES / MINDRIDERS
After the Great Birth, they quickly reached Hyperspace and the stars beyond their native system, joining the galactic other highly advanced species such as the Speakers, the Walkers, the Torvalus (with who they sometimes clashed), the Vorlons, the Shadows, but mostly the Triad in a form of galactic community. Deeply philosophical, they were anxious to learn all that they could from their more experienced brothers, then, after a while, they seperated into small groups, and investigate throughout the galaxy, joining together again every so often to exchange information, and then moves beyond. Although uncorporeal, they often use large empty spaceship-like structures to travel through space.
Mindriders are known to invade the minds of significant individuals of lesser species to observe and sometimes inlfuence history.

FIRST ONES / KIRISHIAC
Once under a united feudalistic government, they started to wander into space and conquered all nearby systems, using heavily armed spaceship and protecting their physical being in atmosphere suits able to reproduce the gravity and pressure of the home world. For several thousand years, they expanded their empire, sometimes wiping out a young race, but most times forcing them into slavery. When they discovered hyperspace, they wandered in the territories of older species such as the Walkers and the Shadows. This brought them in a direct if short war with much older civilisations and they were beaten back to their homeworlds. They later opened communication channels with those older races to be granted access back into space.

LEGENDARY SPECIES: THE HAND / THIRDSPACE ALIENS
Shrowded in mystery nad lgends, the Hand and the Thirdspace aliens may or may not be the same. Both legends talk about a very powerful and evil species that was locked in another dimension circa a million years ago by another one. Their appearance remains a mystery. During an encounter with an invading Thirdspace armada, a large, octopoid-like creatures was seen but it may also have been one of the degenerated vorlon under thirdspace control as this other secretive species, for what has been glimpsed of it might be vaguely octopoid.

VREE
The Vree are a race of hairless, large-eyed humanoid which had developped a spacefaring civilisation as of the twentieth century. They made contact with humanity in that time, visiting Earth fairly regularly in the 1940s. Not making formal formal contact, they mostly observed and even kidnapped specimens for for further sicentific studies. Vree look much like what human popculture Grey aliens, their behavior also match the character as does their spaceships, shaped like flying saucers. They joined the league of non-aligned worlds in the mid-twenty-third century and later the Interstellar Alliance.

PAK'MA'RA
Planet of Origin: Melat
Pak'ma'ra's facial tentacles are used for securing food and moving it into the mouth cavity and also appears to be a center for sexual stimulation. Being incapable of forming words in most other species' languages, they rely on machine translation for interspecies communication, but they are capable of singing what is considered extremely beautiful music, but only do so for religious purpose. It has also been hinted that, because of the way they see themselves, they do not want to talk any other language than their own. While extremely intelligent and inquisitive, they are generally considered stupid and lazy by other races. Typically, they lead singular, isolated existences. To them, knowledge truly is power. Pak'ma'ra statesmen are distinguished elders, and many are noted explorers and scientists. While not, they are fully capable self-defense.
When alien species first made contact with them, ithey became immensely curious about alien species, cultures and ideas to be found among the stars. Tens of thousands of Pak'Ma'Ra left their home world and went out into the universe they had been introduced to. Pak'Ma'Ra's goal appears to simply observe other races and gather new ideas with which to share with the whole of their society.
After over a century of venturing into space, in the late 23rd century, The pak'ma'ra became members of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds, and then of the Interstellar Alliance. They are not very advanced technologically compared to species of the same age and often rely on technology they buy or scavenge from others. The Pak'Ma'Ra concentrates the bulk of their technology on transportation and communication - to go to other world and share their knowledge with other Pak'Ma'Ra.

SELECTORANS
Planet of Origin: Selectoru in the Andromeda Galaxy (now destroyed).
Its true form remains a mystery. But after its destruction and the failure of tis plan, it regenerated into a new form dubbed Sosai Z. Despite his phenomenal intellect, he has the emotional maturity of a child. It is not known if this is a trait of the species, of the individual or a state of mind brought by its despair.
Selectorans possessed highly advanced technology allowing them to achieve an intergalactic journey (although under unknown conditions), manipulate advanced lifeforms, created complex technological constructs such as gigantic robotic monsters and even create a black hole.

Plorgonarians are thin, yellow man-sized invertebrates with three stout legs, a wide mouth with two purple tongues, three elongated fingers on each hand, a round bald head topped with a single small antenna that acts as ear and nose, and one large eye in the middle of his face. Their brain is extremely small (smaller than his eye) for their intelligence, which is comparable to that of the average human.

UNNAMED SPECIES FROM CAPTAIN FUTURE - P1
Here is a list of unnamed alien species seen in the first episode of the Captain Future (Capitaine Flam) animated series. All the species shown here were in Deneb VII's Jungletown but indigenous to the planet. It may therefore be assumed that all of them have developed or were exposed to a spacefaring society.
- First Picture: There are representatives from 5 alien species on this picture, Denebian (left) aside.
- Second Picture: There are representatives from 3 other alien species on this picture. The green one with the large white eyes also appeared on the first picture.
- Third Picture: The lizard is only a pet. The kid in an environmental suit is most probably of the same species as the ones from the previous post - probably a human. The other kid seems to have some features ressembling that of a canine and is therefore most probably of a different origin.
- Fourth picture: There are representatives from two alien species in this picture. Both look a lot like aliens from the StarWars Cantina.
- Fifth Picture: The specimen in an environmental suit might be of the same species as the ones from the previous post as he shares with them a lot of anatomical features. The Floating head's nature is unknown. It does look a lot like the Zardoz Flying head, but much smaller.
UNNAMED SPECIES FROM CAPTAIN FUTURE - P2
Here is a list of unnamed alien species seen in the first episode of the Captain Future (Capitaine Flam) animated series. All the species shown here were in Deneb VII's Jungletown but indigenous to the planet. It may therefore be assumed that all of them have developed or were exposed to a spacefaring society.
- First Picture: The two specimen from the first picture (as well as the last one from the next post) are humanoids in environmental suits of different designs and may or may not belong to the same species. The fact that they seem to be together may lead to believe it is the case. As they appear very humanlike same size, number of limbs, digits, eyes, respiratory organs in the same location, it is possible that these are humans from another colony who cannot bear Deneb VII's atmospherical conditions or may be sensible to some of its biospherical elements.
- Second Picture: The specimen from the second picture is clearly totally alien. Another specimen of this species is seen on a terran spaceliner en route to Earth in the Black Planet Stroyline, but that one is purple, which leads to believe that that species might have several possible skin tones.
- Third Picture: The utility of the tubes going from the base of the neck to both ears of the four arm humanoid (assuming ears are the organs situated at this point of its anatomy) remains unknown. His The reason for these remains unknown. The tubes running across the armor on his legs may or may not be for the same function. The mechanism grafted to the chest of the large saurien is most probably related to his respiratory or vascular system to help it to deal with the alien environment he is in.
- Fourth Picture: While this alien is in an environmental suit, it clearly does not belong the same same species as the other people in environmental suit mentionned above.
- Fifth Picture: A Flying reptilian alien. Like many others, he also need some mechanical environmental equipment.
- Sixth picture: This large alien has four arms and two heads. As he is closely following a human female, does not show any technological on him and even look somewhat primitive, he might not belong to a spacefaring species and might be the female's pet or primitive bodyguard.
