PENANGGALAN

VAJRA COLLECTIVE

Planet of Origin: An Earth type world near the center of the galaxy, with three moons and a large artificial ring which encircles its equator with a spiral emblem on its main superstructure. The planet is defended by a large Vajra war fleet which hides in interdimensionnial space.
The Vajra are an insectoid bio-mechanical alien species which developed interstellar space faring capacities through folding abilities. They are known to have existend for millions of years. The species can survive in the vacuum of space and grows through various stages of metamorphosis. The Vajra can produce destructive interdimensionnal energy and their thick hide can produce an energy conversion armor protecting them from most harm.
They are known to have established hives on planets as well as in asteroid fields and are led by have Queens which act as thinking/guiding intelligences for their race and can communicate over interstellar distances using a fold network activated by the fold quartz produced from interstellar matter and raw materials from fixed stars by microorganisms carried inside the organs of their body. While each creature has a rudimentary intelligence, the whole race's fold communication network creates a large collective consciousness with an advanced level of intelligence which is coordinated by a single Queen through minor Queens which also produce the eggs of their respective hive.
In the twenty-first century, the Vajra Queen started seeking out other lifeforms to cross breed. Long unable to achieve first contact and communicate with individual based species. They were seen leaving their home world for parts unknown after undertanding the humans method of communication & nature of humanity's individual nature.

PROTOCULTURE

An ancient extraterrestrial humanoid civilization which developed an interstellar stellar repulbic sprawling throughout the Milky Way some 500 000 years ago. They are known for designing an impressive militaro-industrial complex for proxy warfare, able to build huge fleets for their army of giant humanoid clones called Zentradi(Zentreadi) for proxy warfare.
Intestine disputes and possession of clones by extra-dimensionnal beings nearly wiped out the Republic. In their last years, the remaining Protoculture is said to have tried seeding humanoid life in different uninhabited planets to avoid extinction. A Survey Ship is said to have landed on Earth and genetically influenced the existing native life toward a sub-Protoculture adapted to the planetary environment to prepare the planet for future colonization but to no avail, after some 25000 years of existence, the Protoculture was finally eradicated by the instruments it had itself created.

STRANGERS

The Strangers are a non-humanoid hive-minded parasitic species with an advanced technology and extensive psionic powers. They are know to have a natural aversion for water and direct sunlight.
They visited Earth in the 1940ies, when their collective mind was in its terminal state of decay and abducted some human specimens to experiment with the hope of undoing their doom by understanding humankind's individuality.
They possessed some humans whose body they used as vehicles and populated a huge space habitat losely modeled on a north american city of the era with a large population on whose memory they started experimenting.
Most of them are believed to have died when a human subject developed psionic powers superior to their own and took control of the city, releasing large bodies of water an turning the habitat so that it stood exposed to sunlight.

BREEN

Planet of Origin: Breen
Breen are a secretive humanoid species that had developed an advanced interstellar society as of the twenty-fourth century. They come from a very cold world and are never seen offworld without a refrigeration suit.
The Breen have no blood or other liquid circulatory system, being walking sacs of ammonia and gelatin which are held together in freezing temperatures. The internal structure of the Breen body consists of layers of permeable chambers filled with gelatin which maintained a semi-solid state in an extremely cold environment will break when exposed to temperatures of 70 degrees F or above. The gelatin compound moves from one chamber to another where it transfers chemicals that are required for different functions such as digestion, reproduction or regeneration.If exposed to a temperate environment, their body structure simply boils and evaporates which is why they require their encounter suits when travelling offworld. While they do possess a skeletal structure, there are no bodily organs except for eyes, ears, tongues, brain, a pair of lungs along with a layer of purple-blue layered skin which provided a level of tactile sense. Their nostrils provide them the capacity to filter oxygen but do not give them a sense of smell.
Their brain is structured into four lobes; this protects them from the probing of some empathic species. They appear physically more resilient than most humanoids.

ANTICANS

Planet of Origin: Planet Antica in the Beta Renner system.
The Anticans are a large, furry, sentient carnivorous humanoid species whoi had developed space flight in the twentey-third century. They were at war with the Selays for years and both species applied for membership to the United Federation of Planets in 2364, but first contact had been established at least thirty years before.

UNNAMED SPECIES FROM CAPTAIN FUTURE - P4

On that picture can be seen more aliens (see previous entry) travelling on a spaceliner en route to Earth. At least seven species are visible here.

First row (from left to right):
- A small non-humanoid purple invertebrate.
- Two Megarans from the Planet Megara in the Deneb star system (seen in other episodes of the series)
- A humanoid figure in an hermetic suit. It cant be said if this one is an alien or a man from a extrasolar colony wearing a environmental suit because a) he has adapted to an atmosphere different from our own or b) some of some reason we do not know.
- A white haired simian of the same species as thsoe seen in the previous entry.
- A non-humanoid alien. Another specimen of the same species, but with a turquoise skin tone instead of a purple one- was briefly seen on the Deneb colony in another episode (see P1 on the same subject).

Second row:
- An orange skinned bald alien with antenneas such as the one seen in the previous entry.
- Another simian humanoid, but whose mane is red instead of white and whose skin is pitch black.
- A purple skinned vaguely humanoid alien with two short tentacle aroud its mouth.
- Yet another orange skin humanoid with antennaes.
- Another orange alien who bears ressemblance to the previous one but with some features such as "something" on its head that prevents clear association with the aforementionned orange skin one.

Third and forth Row:
- A kaki skin massive humanoid with pointy head, trumpet like ears and a very textured skin.
- Another humanoid with antenna, but whose skin is purple instead of orange (but is still probably of the same species)
- Another Megaran
- Another pointy head kaki humanoid
- A bald brown skin canine or monkey humanoid with skin sacks on each side of its mouth
- Another purple skin blad humanoid (antennaes not visible due to distance)
- Another Megaran
- Another canine or monkey type

UNNAMED SPECIES FROM CAPTAIN FUTURE - P3

Here are pictures from unnamed aliens seen on a spaceliner en route to Earth (and whose species, therefore, had at least commercial relations with mankind) in the "Black Planet" stroy arc.

On the first picture you can spot:
- Possible three specimens of the same species (two of which are females). Biped and with body proportions closely ressembling that of humans, they have large flattened heads with antennas, two large eyes and ears, and a wide mouth with heavy lips. Their skin color can (at least) green, purple and orange.
- Another four arms green humanoid can be glimpsed but not enough details are visible to be able to see if he belongs to one of the four arms species previously presented.

The second picture is that of a humanoid that closely ressembles a blad human with orange skin and a set of antennaes. Let's not that this one looks almost identical to a durlan from the DC universe under his humanoid form.

The third picture shows, seen from the back, a humanoid with large mouth and ears and what appears to be a huge protuberance on the top of his head (it could as well be a hat, but it's the exact same color as his skin). The specimen looks otherwise quite human like apart from his hands with have two pair of opposable fingers. The female dancing with him is most probably a human drawn with some cartoon license.

On the fourth picture, the old man could or not be alien depending on the cartoon license used to draw him. Behind him though, is clearly visible a white haired simian humanoid.

On the fifth picture, we can see the same simian in the background and, in the foregound, a four arm green skinned alien with a trunk and whose respiratory organs are most probably at the bakc of his head, given the fact that some breathing apparatus seem connected there.

THE GIANT CLAW / LA CARCAGNE

The Giant Claw is a species of giant birds fo unknown origin and said by some to originate from an antimatter galaxy. It is able to fly through space and generate an antimatter shield around its body.
A specimen of the species came to Earth in 1957 to feed and to nest but was destroyed near New York.

LEGION

Legion is a silicon based colonial lifeform or elephant size insects lead by gigantic queens (140 meters high /600 tons heavy).
The colonies expand from world to world by growing huge biological flowerlike launchpads which, upon explosion, catapult seeds into space that will colonize other worlds.
The queens are equiped with an EM beam that is fired from the nasal horn when it is opened ; The extra limbs or "crown" around legion's head can produce and Electro-magnetic shield that can deflect most kinetic attacks. Also, if the nasal horn is torn or blasted off, Legion can produce whip-like lasers that can impail and cut foes. Legion also has the ability to fly, despite it's enormous size. Legion can also summon and produce up to 100 Symbiotic legion from the egg cases on her abdomen.

GUILALAS

Theoretically created during the explosions of some stars, guilalas are energivore creatures that normally exist in a dormant state as small spores filled with of a special form of condensed energy, contained in little guilalanium coated shells drifting through space.
While dormant guilalas are microscopic, when extracted form their guilalanium shells, they start growing, absorbing ambian energy and have been known to grow up to 50 meters heights and 15000 tons weights. They appear as bipedal, somewhat reptilian or avian creatures almost imprevious to all sorts of energy and kinetic attacks. They can drain energy from most sources they come in contact with, shoot it back as fireballs out of their mouth and even turn into ball of energy to cross vast distances at high speed while destroying everything around them.
A spore was once attached by a UFO for yet unknown reasons to a terran space ship and carried back to Earth. The guilalium coating was taken off by scientists. The spore broke releasing a Guilala that grew to monstrous proportions. It wrecked havok through Japan in search for energy. Lured by powerful nuclear energy to the Mt. Fuji spaceport, it was covered in guilalanium and shrank to its spore state.It was then sent on a rocket to orbit the sun forever.
