ZENOX
Zenox are an ancient feline race with thick golden fur.
They are very cautious and will not lightly enter into an agreement with others. Any new treaties they form usually involve an extremely lengthy period of negotiation, with a protracted review phase at every step of the discussions. Zenox ensure that they are absolutely clear on every last detail of the agreement before finally approving it.
Zenox take a particular interest in recording and preserving galactic history. They seek out items of historical significance from all over the galaxy.
They are also outstanding epic story-tellers. They draw upon their vast store of old myth and legend to produce unique and compelling tales. Zenox claim to be guardians of secret knowledge of galactic history, some of which they reveal in their stories.
In fact some of their historical research has led to unorthodox claims about the galaxy’s past. One of these stories asserts that all the Insectoid races once betrayed the rest of the galaxy to an outside invader. However most other alien races dismiss these conclusions as unproven fairy-tales.
Zenox technology includes an advanced shield component, the Megatron. These powerful shields impart a potent defense to Zenox star ships and bases.
Zenox inhabit the tundra wastelands of Ice Tundra, Ice or Frozen Ice planets. They typically build large cities deep underground in vast ice caves and tunnels.
TEEKANS
Teekans are a small furry rodent-like race with three eyes.
They see no value in washing regularly and thus tend to smell.
Teekans take special interest in hoarding all kinds of mechanical junk, disassembling and repairing items they collect. Teekans have very little technology that is truly original, but they can occasionally progress to the point of being space-faring.
Teekans are born traders, profitably selling their wares far and wide. They are also excellent miners, rapidly exploiting any natural resources they discover.
Despite being fairly insular they are very peaceful and make very loyal allies should you wish to befriend them.
Teekans are semi-nomadic; while some live in permanent settlements, many prefer to live in temporary camps, periodically migrating to new locations.
The nomadic Teekan tribes are obsessed with hunting the Bakdur, also known as the Sand Slug. As the herds of Bakdurs migrate across the sandy deserts, the Teekan camps follow them.
Teekans inhabit the vast desert wastelands of Sandy Desert, Rocky Desert and Desert Savanna planets.
HUMANS
Humans are tall, largely hairless, bipedal mammals.
They are intelligent, cunning and resourceful and have spread across the galaxy.
Humans are friendly by nature, but others sometimes view them as scheming and manipulative. Humans value political power and influence above all else. They revel in subtle maneuvering and intrigue as they accumulate greater political control. They have an amazing talent for recognizing opportunities for political advancement.
Their natural abilities make them excellent diplomats. Human negotiating skills are renowned – they can transform nearly any apparently hopeless situation to their advantage.
Humans have a natural curiosity that gives them an edge in scientific research. Their scientists and engineers are quick to see the application of new discoveries, inventing new technology based on this knowledge.
Humans have a mysterious past, cloaked in ambiguity. It is unclear where they originated from. Some say that they are actually immigrants from another galaxy. Humans themselves claim Sol as their home system.
Their preferred habitats are the lowland plains of Continental, Forest or Grasslands planets.
