CHARRIDS

Charrids are humanoid agressive species with short snouts, sharp fangs and leathery skin. They are aggressive if not intelligent fighters, are known to eat their victims and have an extreme tolerance for pain. They are used by the Scarrans mostly as grunt soldiers and guards.

SCARRANS

Planet of Origin: Scaran Homeworld, in the Milky Way galaxy

Scarrans have developed a technolgically advanced agressive and expansive space-faring civilisation that goes back more than 12 000 years. Bipedal sexuate reptilian species with a humanoid body structure and skin ranging from pale white to dark gray in skin colour. They thrives in heat. In cold temperatures, their body heat drops rapidly. The species is split into two classes - the ruling caste and the soldier class.The head for the ruling caste and upper class appears to be flatter in shape, with well formed humanoid mouth, eyes, nose and chin while the head on the lower class is more horse-like in shape, with a protruding mouth, less developed eyes and slits instead of nostrils, with little or no nose potrusion. They are capable of huge amounts of brute strength. Their thick skin makes them impervious to small arms, though explosives in bodily orifices has proven fatal. This, coupled with  the razor-sharp claws on the Scarrans' hands, makes them formidable in combat.Still, Their main weapon is their natural heat projection. In this, Scarrans are able to blast large amounts of heat from their hands, redirected from their bodies.

Their main weakness is their dependency to strelitzia flower or the "bird of paradise flower" (as can be found on Earth) which they must keep consuming in order to maintain their high intelligence and remain intellectually competitive with other sentient races such as humans. They will only expand on planets capable of growing the crystherium plant. It is believed that it is this plant that mutates a Scarran's features, creating the distinction between upper and lower caste Scarrans. Naturally, the upper caste Scarrans would consume more of the plant, as it is also one of the race's delicacies.

The Scarran race is intensely interested in genetics, trying to splice DNA from other species into their own.

They have also mastered the art of creating replicas of people, known as bioroids. While being programmed, These replicas can carry only the memories of the original subject.

The scarans were onceat war with the sebaceans but the eidelons managed to put an eand to it. This truce held as long as the Eidelons were there but fell apart after their disappearance. Lack of knowldege of the adversary prevented an all out war but left the two warring factions in a stateo f cold war.

The Scarrans control at least two other species. The Charrids, used as grunt soldiers, and the Kalish (a sebascean sub-species)  as technicians. While the Charrids do not seem to mind being under the thumb of the Scarrans, the Kalish dislike it. As of the beginning of the 3rd millenium,  Kalish resistance has been formed, though its objectives and how they will obtain them are unclear.

The Scarrans have an imperial system and a body of government known as The Hierarchy, to which even the Emperor has to answer to and be judged by.

ANCIENTS

The Ancients are a very technologically advanced insectoid species from another universe which developed a hive based civilisation and wormhole-based technology. Thin and bipedal  and brown skinned, they have four arms, two shorter upper arms, and two longer arms that are lower on their torso. The upper arms end in lobster-like claws while the lower arms appear to have three-fingered hands. They also have several shorter tentacle-like appendages both around and on their facial area. Shapeshifters, they can alter their appearance to look like members of the species they interact with.

Using wormholes as bridges to our universe, they modified several members of their own species, so that they  could live among species of our universe with the task to catalogue, report, and influence their activities.

When their planet became unable to sustin them, they started to look for a new world to establish themselves in our universe. They abducted a human to see if hey could cohabit with humanity on Earth but their experiment ended up with negative results. They soon after found a suitable planet.

EIDELONS / SEBACEANS

Planet of Origin: Arnessk, in the Milky Way galaxy, which they inahbited 12 000 years ago until the planet became inhabitable due an alien attack..

The Eidelons is an advanced pacifist humanoid species which possesses a gland in their head that  acts as an empathic receptor, allowing the Eidelon to sense the wants and desires of those nearby, and vibrates to create an energy field which helps them develop tranquility and rationality. Using these powers, the ancient Eidelons could devise compromises that met the goals of the involved conflicting parties and could ensure that a peaceful solution to conflicts would be accepted. Eidelons look remarkably like humans but have an internal very different cranial structure, being able to open up the upper part of their head when their gland is in action.

Looking for a species to serve both as bodyguards and as enforcers of peace. They abducted primitve humans on planet Earth some  27,000 years ago and genetically enhanced them. This new species became known as the Sebaceans and they became the Eidelons' trusted acolytes. They took on the name of Peacekeepers due to their function.

After Arnessk became uninhabitable and the Eidelons has vanished (either fleeing to other planets or entering suspended animation outside of time. The Peacekeepers attempted to carry and kept the peace with military force, and eventually became the militaristic Peacekeeper empire.Today, only a handful of Eidelons remain.

STARRO / STAR CONQUEROR

Sentient starfish-shaped alien species with a central eye and prehensile extremities. They are also known as Star Conquerors. Adult Starro can asexually generate parasitic clones from their own body and command them to act in accordance with his will. Although equipped with only limited mobility, Starro parasites can attach themselves to a victim's face, whereupon they attack a body's central nervous system, subsequently taking control of both their mind and body, acting as transmitters of the adult starro's will. A Starro parasite can maintain control over its victim for an extended period of time, forcing them to obey their every whim, even if it goes against the nature of the selected target. This ability only works so long as the parasite maintains physical contact with its victim. Once the parasite is removed, the victim regains control of their mind and motor function.

Starro can absorb energy and rechannel it as powerful blasts of energy, which it directs through the tip of each tentacle and generate energy fielsd allowing them flight in both outer space and atmospheric environments.A fully grown Starro is impervious to most conventional forms of attack. Gunfire and similar weapons are ineffective against a Starro. Starro can also change the color of its skin for different purposes,

The first passage of a Starro on Earth happened in 1960. It was destroyed shortly after its arrival but surviving fragments managed to redevelop sentiance afterward from time to time.

Source: DC Universe. The character first appeared in Brave and the Bold #28 (Feb. - March 1960), Starro the Conqueror was created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Mike Sekowsky. The Starro species was further developed by writer Grant Morrison.

THASIANS

FIRST FEDERATION

Planet of Origin: A planet orbiting Fesarius, a K Orange star less than a thousand light years from Earth.

The First Federation members are one meter tall bald humanoids who developed a peaceful yet recluse and non-expansive highly advanced spacefaring civilisation. Their territorial space is surrounded by a network of space buoys and contact with other species are usually dealt with kilometers wide spherical one-man ships, leading to believe that space travel remains rare among the species. 

First contact with humanity was made in 2226.

GALAXIANS /GALAXIENS

Planet of Origin: Original planet unknown. After it underwent a critical greenhouse effect some 2000 years ago. Three quarter of the population left in space arks and relocated on the First of the two moons of planet Aktarka, orbiting a G star in the Milky Way. A minority of Galaxians stayed on their homeworld but all contact was lost with the exilees.

The Galaxians are a pacific, even  friendly, species of one meter tall humanoids that have developed an advanced but ot expansive interstellar space-faring civilisation. Their skin was originally of a light orangeish color, but after their planet was exposed to heavier sun exposition, they slowly turned s to black over generations. Those who relocated to Aktarka's moon turned to green skin. All quite ressemble bald teddy bears. A minority, mainly among females, have been known to develop psychic powers.

Galaxian society is very democratic, one with a constant )sometimes even daily) exchange of social tasks even in the sharing of tasks. The annual head of state is called the Prince-of-the-Year and is the Galaxian who received the most merit points over the past year.

Over him is the Council of Elders which is made up of five Galaxian patriarchs which seems to be an half-honorific title for those chosen as they dont always seem to have much credit given to them.  The younger Galaxians are quite aware of their elders deficiencies and often take them half-serously.

OVIONS

Ovions are a four-armed bipedal man-sized insectoid species that were members of the Cylon Alliance to whow Their tylium mines were an extremely valuable asset.  They manage a Gambling ans entertainment complex on the surface of their homeworld to attract preys. Individual humans are trapped selectively and taken into the hive-like structures underground  to be placed into chambers which slowly transform them into food. Ovions occasionally prowl discreetly on the entertainment level, but generally remain out of sight. 

They are now presumably extinct since their world was destroyed in the explosion of their tylium mines.

AQUANS

Planet of Origin: Argo,  a seismically-unstable planet. Once a land planet, but its surface became almost completely covered by water, following a series of violent seismic disturbances, leaving only a single large landmass, with a few associated outcroppings.

The Aquan are an humanoid species which developed an advanced planetbound civilisation. They are good example of forced evolution as originally air-breathers were they mutated themselves to become able to breath underwater after massive planet-wide earthquakes flooded the entire planet.

They are governed by the Ruling tribunal of the Anquans and follow the Aquan Ordainment, an ancient set of rules.

SHANSHEETH

The Shansheeth are species of avian bipeds. Two meters tall, they have hunched shoulders with a long neck protruding from the middle section of their body and a vulture like head. They have five digits clawed hands and feet. Apart of their head, neck, feet and hands, most of their body is covered in feathers. They are able to project energy beams from their hands and like wearing robes and jewels.

A peaceful advanced space faring civilisation led by a political enitiy known as the Wide Wing of the High Shansheeth Nest, they have been known amongst the interstellar community as galactic undertakers, journeying through space in tribal groups to return lost heroes to their kin. .They employ shards of black stones called epitaph sotnes which they use to project hologrphic images to communicate with other species and  have also been known to use devieces called memory weaves to extracting memories and turning them into physical objects.

QETESH

The Qetesh is a species that developed an advanced civilisation capable of star travel. They feed off powerfukl emotions such as excitement in people's lives, draining their life essence with it and are therefore masters of emotional manipulation ot achieve sustainance. They are also known as "soul-stealers".

Their stomachs existed outside their bodies, and they did not need air to breathe. The mobile part of their body has been known to look human, but they are most proabably albe to make it match the appearance of their prey's nature to better manipulate them into generating emotionnal food.

FLESHKIND

Planet of Origin: Fleshking planet, part of a binary planetary system (the other planet being the Metalkind planet) in the eye of the Tornado Nebula.

The Fleshkind is a carbon-based humanoid species that developed an advanced civilisation and possesses interstellar-range teleportation technology as well as advanced genetic engineering. 

They are externally almost undistinguishable from humans but can shoot energetic discharges from their hands to place others in a trance. Given the fact that they have been known to develop living weapons of high destructive power, this ability might have been engineered.

The Fleshlkind was at war with a Metalkind race that lived on the twin planet of their homeworld after they started mining operations to mine precious ore on  the Metalkind planet; ore which was in fact the the Metalkind's children. Discovering this fact, the Fleshkind started using the so-captured Metalkind as slaves, which lead to the war.

Th war had come to a stalemate as of the beginning of the 21st century when the Flehskind developed a living weapon capable to destroying all the Metalkind but the weapon was lost, possibly restoring the stalemate.

METALKIND

Planet of Origin: Metalking planet, part of a binary planetary system (the other planet being the Fleshkind planet) in the eye of the Tornado Nebula.

The Metalkind is a species of sentient  humanoid bio-metalloid  boron-based lifeforms. The Metalkind was at war with a Fleshkind race that lived on the twin planet of their homeworld after they started mining operations to mine precious ore on  the Metalkind planet; ore which was in fact the the Metalkind's children - which were then used as slaves by the Flehskind, leading to the war.

This leads to believe that the Fleshkind was originally more technologically advanced than the Metalkind, being the first one to venture on the other's planet and starting its exploitation. As of the 21st century, after hubndreds of years of war, both species possessed weapons that enabled some kind of stalemate bwetween them, as well as interstellar-range teleportation technology - which might have been the initial way the Fleshkind made it to the Matlakind planet.

To end the stalemate, the Fleshkind had developed a  living weapon that could destroy the Metalkind but the weapon was lost, possibly restoring the stalemate.

VENDORIANS

Planet of Origin: Vendor (Vendoria)

An advanced cephalopodic sentient, tentacled shape-shifting species.  In their natural form, Vendorians look rather like floating orange lamps adorned with six trailing tentacles. They had great agility and grace, and reflexes superior to those of a human.

Because of their ability to rearrange their cellular structures at will, thus taking on the shapes of various humanoid species,they are looked upon them with suspicion by other species. While Vendorians may assume many shapes and identities, the longer they remain in one form the more characteristics of that form they assume as  they can absorb memories and personality traits of an individual through touch. These memories and traits become more ingrained the longer or more frequently the Vendorian assumes the form; if maintained long enough, the absorbed traits eventually become part of the Vendorian's own personality. 

In the 23rd century, due to their practice of deciet as a way of life , they have been judged psychologically unfit for the interstellar communicty. Their planet has been quarantined to avoid them inflitrating other worlds and spreading chaos.

GORGON

Planet of Origin: Gorgos ((100,000,000 light years from Earth)

The Gorgons were a species of intelligent parasitic beings which possessed their hosts. Non corporeal, individuals look like a group of blue ethereal serpentine forms hovering in the air. They had some psychic powers, specifically mind control and the ability to petrify creatures within a matter of hours. In order to do so, it needs to leave its host and make contact with the target. They can be reflected by a mirror, causing them to return to the host and turning it to stone. While in the host, they greatly increased its lifespan, letting one human host live for over 200 years. This was much less than the Gorgon's natural lifespan of thousands of years, which meant they had to frequently switch hosts.

Three Gorgons came to Earth around 1000 BC via a talisman, entering into Greek mythology along the way. One Gorgon was slain by a Greek hero, another by a professor and his wife in 1959, and one survived up til 2010. This Gorgon eventually inhabited the body of an abbess and led the sisterhood of nuns at St. Agnes Abbey, manipulating their minds to serve it for over 200 years. The Gorgon led the nuns on a mission to retrieve the talisman so as to call the Gorgons from their home world to invade Earth and take all of humanity for their hosts.

EKNODINE

The Eknodine are a symbiotic sentient alien species that can live inside of specimens of other species, extending their lifespan. As a defense mechanicsm, they can extend a green eyestalk from their hosts' mouth, which can spray a green cloud which turn a human-size hostile into dust.
Note: There are similarities between this species and the Goa_Uld. and the Hive/Ganglion.

TENZA

The Tenza is a species whose young were raised by other species. To that end, they possessed advanced, though subconscious, psychic powers, allowing them to live among the alien culture in which they were being raised. They born in space, where they drift until they found a habitable world. There, they find a family to live with, then infiltrate it. The Tenza infant would adapt itself to suit its environment and alter the memories of its surrogate parents and those around them. After that, the Tenza would live out its life as a member of the surrogate parents' species without conscious realization of its true nature.  If the Tenza felt threatened, its telepathic abilities played havoc with its environment to keep it safe.  They used a perception filter to remove inconsistencies in their histories. Their telepathic abilities are known to be able to scan space over distances of millions of light years.
